PulseTech® Products Corp. Introduces 2-Station 12-Volt Battery Recovery

Don¹ t Throw Away Old Batteries- Recover Them!

SOUTHLAKE, TX- PulseTech® Products Corp. introduces the SC-2, a 2-Station HD Recovery Charger designed to recover, charge, maintain and desulfate as many as two 12-Volt lead-acid batteries any where in the world.

The compact and portable recovery charger, designed primarily for managers of smaller boating fleets, warehouse equipment, marinas, RVs and off roaders, antique car collectors and commercial shops, works with any 12-Volt battery type, including VRLA, AGM, gel and flooded cell. The dual recovery charging stations operate in isolation, allowing any combination of battery brands or types to be recharged simultaneously.

Many commercial shops have a Œ spent¹ pile of batteries that are thought to be dead and useless. The SC-2 is able to recover the majority of these batteries and return them to pristine condition saving money that would have been spent on new batteries. PulseTech Products has a history of building products that help protect the environment. The SC-2 is another example of this by extending battery life and reducing the number of 12-Volt batteries heading to waste facilities. Read more

Ruger Redefines the AR Platform Again with the SR-556 Takedown

Michigan receives $600,000 in federal grants for bees and butterflies

Karner blue butterflyThe Michigan Department of Natural Recourses recently was awarded $600,000 by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for bumble bee and Karner blue butterfly conservation.

Bumble bees and butterflies are important pollinators, which are vital to the production of healthy crops for food and medicines and as food sources for wildlife. They also are important visitors to backyard flower gardens. Pollinators as a group have seen severe declines in their populations. Those declines have been felt by the agricultural community.

To gauge bumble bee declines in Michigan, the DNR will provide the Michigan Natural Features Inventory with $100,000 to assess historic and current native bee diversity, distribution and status. This information will inform conservation decision making and enhance the next revision of Michigan’s Wildlife Action Plan. Read more
