1. A battery maintenance system comprising:
- a battery;
an electrical pulsation device configured to supply electrical pulsation energy to said battery during at least one pulsation period;
a battery charger configured to transfer electrical energy to said battery during at least one charging period; and
a schedule configured to operate said electrical pulsation device and said battery charger such that there is substantially no overlap between said pulsation period and said charging period.

12. A battery maintenance system comprising:
-
a battery; an electrical pulsation device configured to supply pulsation energy to said battery during at least one pulsation period; a battery charger configured to transfer electrical energy to said battery during at least one charging period; and a schedule configured to operate said electrical pulsation device and said battery charger such that at least about 80 percent of said charging period occurs independently of said pulsation period.
