Yes, you should!

You are right about the desulfators of course. I SHOULD have one for each. And I really SHOULD make them. But, if you read through my thread, you can tell I am lazy. Here's how I see it: I can't BUY a desulfator for each battery, bacause I am too cheap. And at $30 each, while the battery cores are only $7, doesn't make sense economically. But I have already had to replace a lot of the batteries in my pack, and I think I probably would end up having to replace batteries faster than how quickly a desulfator works. So for now I am happy with just moving the desulfator to the weakest battery and hoping. While not ideal, it seems OK for now. I might have to rethink that if my battery supplies start to dry up.....
