Want to recondition or repair batteries and save yourself and others money? Here is some basic information to show you what it is all about. Reconditioning batteries is not the same as recharging them. You know recharging is putting some juice back into them so they can be used until they die again, then recharge.
Reconditioning is bringing a battery back to like new condition after the battery has reached the end of its life span and can no longer be recharged. Batteries will not last forever as they have a life span, when it is reached most people throw them away or recycle them.
If you want to recondition batteries at home what do you need? All that is needed is some simple equipment that would be easy to find. Some of these tools would be a battery recharger, hydrometer, DC voltmeter, automotive battery load tester and a few more simple items.
