After months of dragging my feet on a battery desulfator I was finally ordered some circuit boards. I dumped all the bling that I was planning like data logging, voltage monitoring, led displays, and temperature monitoring. These are just raw desulfators with some PWM control at the firmware level. I'm trying to produce these for less than $60ea. It will just depend on how long it takes me to solder them up. These will be for sale next week if they pass testing.

Hey Mikey,
What software do you use for the schematic and board layout? I've been looking for a good Mac version with a decent module library for a while now...thanks!
Hi Bob,
Most of the mac users I know use Eagle for their schematic/board layout. It is free to use for circuit boards up to 4" x 3.2".

gEDA / PCB is a totally open suit for schematic / board layout. I've been using this software for all of my circuit boards dating back to 2002. You can install gEDA / PCB on your mac via 'fink' which I think is the easiest way to maintain all the packages going forward. If you have some UNIX background this will be a easy process.
