subject: Recondition Old Batteries - Do it Yourself and Save Money [print this page] As we all know it is becoming more and more important to start to try to reduce our reliance on traditional fossil fuels, both in the home and in our cars. In future we are going to use an increasing number or rechargeable batteries. However over time these cells reduce in efficiency and they are very expensive to replace. Fortunately it is possible to recondition old batteries, and restore their performance thus avoiding expensive replacements.
For this reason it is important to learn the skill of restoring these batteries to their new condition. Not just to save money, but you could even turn these skills into a profitable business. This is a service people need now, but are going to need more and more in the future.
This is nothing to do with recharging the battery, by reconditioning we mean restoring that battery to its original capacity to hold charge, and making it like new again. Almost any rechargeable battery can be worked on. Including lap top batteries, car batteries, and cellphone batteries, to name a few.
The methods you need to use will largely depend on the type of battery you have. Some will require equipment, most of which you can make yourself. Or if you do need to purchase equipment it will pay for itself in a very short period of time. It is however very important that you get some specialist information, and follow safety guidelines, as batteries can contain hazardous chemicals.
Car batteries are one of the best types to recondition, as old ones can be acquired for free, and with their ability to hold charge for a long period of time they are ideal for use as storage in a home energy system, or car conversions to electrical power.
If you learn to recondition old batteries, not only can you potentially make some money, but you will be helping to save the environment at the same time.
