Battery Reconditioning For Car Batteries

Battery reconditioning for car batteries has become a great way to save a bunch of money and help the environment.Car batteries are very popular to recondition because the savings add up very quickly.The initial outlay is quite small and with your very first battery you can save money.Before you start reconditioning your car battery there are a couple things you should do first.I highly recommend getting a guide for reconditioning batteries because there are several tips and tricks that can improve how well it works after the process.The first step to reconditioning your car battery is to do a quick test of the voltage.As long as you get a reading that's above 0V you're good to go to continue with the process.If the battery does read 0V that doesn't mean it can't be reconditioned though.Hook up the battery to a trickle charger overnight and take a reading the following morning.If it's holding at least a little bit of a charge you can proceed.Once you've verified that your battery is a suitable candidate to be reconditioned you can start the process.You'll need to gather all the materials you're going to need such as a desulfator (or nanopulser), de-ionized water (to fill the water level in case it gets low), as well as a hydrometer and multi-meter.After hooking the battery up to the desulfator it's pretty much just a waiting game.You let it run for a couple days and check the specific gravity as well as the voltage and apply an equalization charge.After doing this for a few times you will notice that the battery is starting to hold a charge again.Once the battery hits 14 volts after an equalization charge you can stop reconditioning it because it's in almost brand new condition.As I mentioned earlier you should get a guide to help you with the reconditioning process because you need to follow it closely to have real success.I personally have been reconditioning car batteries for quite some time and actually do others as a little side business.It makes me some extra money and it also helps the environment by keeping them from the dump for a little while longer.
