Since our trucks use two expensive batteries, is it worth it to have a battery desulphater? Do they really work and, if so, which one do you buy?

Yes they do work. They are used more for the solar industry, where the batteries are constantly charges and discharged. I have had one for many years and it is called a Battery Life Saver ( batterylifesaver.com ). eBay has them all of the time.

I have a set up on my Rv that de-sulfates the batteries on a schedule, after so many discharges and top offs
it also monitors battery temps, charger transformer temps as well as loads and of course charging
it seems to work so far.
the odd thing is it brings the batteries up to over 14 volts for a period and this causes all the 12v lighting in the coach to be very bright, so we turn em off until it starts the step down phase
I have 4 years on my batteries now

I have a converter in my RV that is a 4 stage charger and de-sulfates the batteries. I just got it a couple of weeks ago and just came back from a weeks vacation. I didn't notice the light getting bright, but it could have done it while we were sleeping or out. This is the converter I got: http://www.progressivedyn.com/rv_converter_pd9270_2.html
