Not in the way we would have liked.<\/p>\n<p>Recently I posted an open letter to these companies asking them to join me in creating a battery pulse rating standard they could all use. Right now the lack of a standard for pulse length, time between pulses, and the criteria used to set the rating makes any &#8220;pulse&#8221; or &#8220;max&#8221; rating utterly useless. You can&#8217;t compare the &#8220;pulse&#8221; or &#8220;max&#8221; rating from one battery against another.<\/p>\n<p>But not one battery rewrapper or manufacturer responded or showed interest in any way.<\/p>\n<p>Unexpected? Perhaps not.<br \/>\nBut very disappointing nonetheless.<\/p>\n<p>I get it, these &#8220;pulse&#8221; ratings are what sell batteries. I was hoping though that with the uselessness of these ratings becoming more and more known that at least one company would see an opportunity to help set a standard. If for no other reason than it would help them stand out from their competition.<\/p>\n<p>Some of our community&#8217;s battery testers and a couple of shops have offered to help out though. Thank you! We&#8217;ll see what we can do.<\/p>\n<p>To all those companies who still insist on using worthless pulse ratings, you will be called out for it. All the more vehemently now too.<\/p>\n<p>Mooch<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/dot.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Reddit\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"A%20BATTERY%20MOOCH%20POST%3A%20The%20battery%20rewrappers%20and%20manufacturers%20have%20spoken%21\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well&#8230;actually&#8230;no they haven&#8217;t.
