I also have to report that my battery lost 0.06 Volt running all night.
But as was pointed out, this is the record holder in simplicity for
a low-price desulphator and charger. So Groundloop has really made a nice circuit.
Will continue to experiment with it too with introducing different components.
EDIT: I am wondering if there is an electronic circuit strategy, that would cut off
everything except the radiant spike, because during the rest there is energy dissipated in the wire resistances.
Maybe a delayed gate signal for another MOSFET that shuts the line right after the spike occured.

EDIT: I have to elaborate on that. Of course this would not work with Groundloop´s circuit, because
that would kill the oscillation.
Maybe more like Plengo did it with 2 555 timers. One for the gate signal and one for the delayed gate signal.
Or maybe just a single MOSFET with a super short pulse duty cycle.
I will experiment with that a bit.
