3 Reasons Why You Should Recondition Old Batteries

Rechargeable batteries don't last forever, over time their performance declines. In fact many have a stated number of charge cycles that they can perform before they will need replacing. Before you replace them however, did you know that it may be possible to restore them to their original factory fresh state. So before you throw them away, here are the top three reasons you should recondition old batteries.

1. You will save money. -- Rechargeable batteries are expensive, and sometimes looking for a replacement can take time. So if you can just breathe new life into the one you have, it will not only save you money but also time. All you need is knowledge, luckily this is readily available, and the few tools and sometimes chemicals you will need are readily available also, some of them you can even make yourself for pennies.

2. You will help the environment. -- Battery power is clean and cheap, and is probably the least environmentally contentious way to power almost anything you can mention. Unfortunately the cost comes at the point you throw them away. Batteries contain things that can prove difficult to dispose of or recycle cleanly, including heavy metals acids lead etc. Once made it makes sense to use them for as long as possible to reduce their environmental impact, and restoring them fulfills this aim.

3. You can make some money. -- You can start a home business restoring batteries. This is one of the most unusual business models that I have ever seen, because it leaves everyone happy. First off you can get your raw materials free! People will give you batteries to work on and will be happy you are taking them away. All you have to do is work your magic, and resell the batteries once restored. They are as good as new, but cost far less than a new battery. Your end customer will be happy because they get a bargain.

You can complete the battery restoration process in your garage at home, and providing you follow a few safety guidelines there is no risk involved.

There are very few activities that we can undertake that have so many advantages like the ones shown above. When you recondition old batteries, at the very least your bank balance will thank you. How many other things can you think of where people will give you things for nothing that you can resell., and be happy you have taken them off their hands. Also when you resell them your customer will think they have got a great deal. Not only that but you are doing your bit to save the planet.
