The recovery/desulfating mode on some chargers work very well, and on
some it's a joke.
I've got a NOCO Genius 7200 that works well, the main thing is that if
the battery is completely dead the 12V repair cycle won't even activate,
you've got to charge it on the 6V setting until it gets just enough
voltage for the charger to see it.
