OK, I just called MRC directly and spoke to their tech support. The guy assured me that the 989 uses the CC/CV type of charge, as does the 977 FYI. He went on to say that their chargers have not used pulse charging for a long time and that it is bad for batteries in general. I asked if there was ever a version of the 989 that used pulse, and he said it has always used the CC/CV charging method.

I told him about the Apogee and MaxAmps warning and he said he would look into that. Seems someone got their wires crossed somewhere! That and maybe the tendency for some idiot to spout some nonsense on a forum somewhere and it becomes "fact".

So, straight from the horse's mouth!
