What Is Battery Reconditioning?

A battery starts to lose its capability almost immediately after manufacture, about 2 % year. Putting them in the refrigerator can extend their shelf live a little more but not much. Rechargeable batteries will start to lose their effectiveness after the first time you recharge them.

Sulfate Crystals begin to accumulate on the batteries plates which in turn cause the battery to lose its ability to hold a charge. Every time the battery is discharged and recharged its storage capacity becomes less till it reaches the point you that you cannot recharge it.

Unfortunately, these rechargeable batteries do not last forever; they will start to become useless. What most people will do is throw them out when they cannot recharge them and buy a new battery. The cost of these batteries is crazy; it can be very expensive to replace them.

What you can do instead of throwing them out is rejuvenate or recondition them. Doing this to your bad battery will extend its life span by bringing it back to almost new condition. If you do this to your rechargeable batteries, think of the savings you would gain.

Here’s how it works:

What takes place when you recondition a battery is causing the sulfate crystals to dissolve away, clean and re-energize the batteries plates and improve the strength of the electrolytes. You will again be able to put a full charge on your battery and use it for many more times.

This process is also usable on your car battery, how many times have you had to buy an expensive car battery? You could do preventive maintenance to your battery so it could have a longer life span. How about picking up an old battery for free that someone was going to throw away and bringing it back to life.

Our homes are littered with devices and gadgets that run on batteries. Take a look at your mobile phone or laptop or tablet or camera. They all have a battery pack that needs to be charged periodically to keep the devices running. Over time the batteries get weaker and run out. People mistakenly think that their chargers are to blame and buy replacement chargers. The problem is with the old batteries. Due to repeated use their capacity to recharge goes down and eventually they are hardly able to hold a charge. This makes it very inconvenient as mobile phones, and tablets need frequent charging to work.

Batteries make life so much easier. You don’t have to bother with annoying cables or messy wiring. Once charged phones and cameras can run for hours without the need for the recharge. With batteries in place power tools no longer need to be manipulated around long power cables. Batteries make many devices portable. There is no need to be hooked to a wire or nearest power outlet. You have the freedom to use gadgets anywhere you want.

Over time the battery life goes down. Reconditioning rundown batteries can make them work longer. They develop a memory effect. Reconditioning helps remove this effect. You have to know the charge capacity of the battery. Once this is accurately determined it is easy to know to what extent improvement are needed. Without having an accurate measurement of charge capacity, you won’t have an idea how much improvement to make.
