Bring You Car Batteries Back To Life - Restore Your Battery
As we all know your car battery will not last forever. There are a few reasons they will fail us such as high temperatures which will shorten their life and extreme cold which will do the same. The more common reason for battery failure is sulfation.
Sulfation is the build up of sulfur on the lead plates in the battery. This build up reduces the batteries capacity to do its job and as it gets worse the battery fails. This sulfur build up also causes corrosion on the plates.
If your battery has gone dead on you or you think it will soon, you may be able to recondition it back to life instead of buying a new one You can test it to see if it can be reconditioned by checking it with a voltmeter. If the meter reads from 10 to 12 volts you should be able to recondition it. Any measurement below that and the battery may be beyond repair.
Reconditioning batteries is not limited to car batteries. You can recondition most rechargeable batteries that we commonly use. The same goes for your golf cart; marine and those expensive fork lift batteries. The same test with a voltmeter will tell you if it would be worth it.
With the cost of most batteries being expensive it can be economical to recondition your batteries. You may never have to buy a new battery because you could take those batteries discarded by others and recondition them back to life. You could get these discarded batteries free in most cases.
