Battery Reconditioning
ADHD
Every day millions of batteries all
over the world are thrown away only because they have stopped working.
Batteries of cars, motorcycles, heavy
equipment, trucks, golf carts and those used in hospitals, military and
industrial farms are discarded unnecessarily. Usually most of the batteries die
due to the build up or sulphation on the plates of the battery. It is actually
build up of a gas, which hinders the contact of electrolyte with plates. This
in turn makes the battery to stop holding the charge and stop producing
electricity.
Reconditioning of a battery is to remove the sulphation by letting in some
additives and making the battery rest for some time so that the sulphation
breaks off on the plate. A question maybe asked that if battery rechargers are
available in the market then why recondition? The answer to this is that battery
chargers only charge battery for use but cannot avoid sulphation on them. Once
you recondition them, they can be charged for a 100 per cent performance.
There are many ways by which a battery is reconditioned. Many people choose to
recondition them using home tools and many people have decided to make it a
profession by inventing new devices which recondition batteries.
One common way of reconditioning battery is to leave the battery in the
refrigerator’s freezer for a night and them put it back for recharging.
Normally 2-3 cycles of such exercise makes a battery work for 300+ minutes (3
hours). Perhaps they think they can break the crystals of sulphation by hitting
it hard on the floor!?
Some of the professionals in the battery industry have invented rechargers,
which have an option of recondition too. For e.g. Cheetah Universal Smart
Charger with the MP2000 Cups. They work very well and if you pre-conditioned
your batteries in the fridge then they can recondition the battery better.
NickelCadmium (NiCd) cells are very common batteries used in equipments. They
are conditioned by putting them through cycling. In cycling process, the
battery is charged and uncharged through its entire normal operating range.
Modern car batteries are complex and need care while reconditioning. The
batteries contain dangerous acids as electrolyte. Therefore, when manhandling
the battery, utter most caution must be taken.
The most important thing is, know your battery well. Test your battery
occasionally for optimum usage. It saves the environment as you are recycling
the battery and it saves your money, as there is no wastage on new batteries.
One can even earn money by going into professional battery reconditioning.
