That link is pushing their own chargers but the technology is the same.
Reports are that the "pulse tech" charging concept is nonsense.

I have not seen a reliable source that says pulse desulfation works.
A source I think is reliable for all types of batteries is battery
university
https://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/sulfation_and_how_to_prevent_it
which says
"Several companies offer anti-sulfation devices that apply pulses to the
battery terminals to prevent and reverse sulfation. Such technologies
will lower the sulfation on a healthy battery, but they cannot
effectively reverse the condition once present. It’s a “one size fits
all” approach and the method is unscientific."

Comments?
Note what it says - Such technologies will lower the sulfation on a
healthy battery.
So the idea is sound - and it DOES work - to a point. Once a battery
is SEVERELY sulphared, virtually NOTHING will remve the sulphate.
Pulse charge can extend the life of a battery that has been left
partially charged for a little longer than it should have been but it
can't "raise the dead"
