Using a Restored and Reconditioned Battery

Reconditioned Batteries Are Good For The Environment



To make a standard battery we use plastics for the casing, lead for the plates and terminals, lead dioxide for the active material and sulphuric acid for the electrolyte. All these are saved if we recondition and reuse this same battery.

But if they only last 3 months .......
Our record is five years for an automotive battery and even longer for storage batteries. Prior to us coming on to the scene people used to buy used batteries from car wreckers and other battery reconditioners. these batteries are still sulphated an only for 2 weeks to 3 months which gives rise to the perception that reconditioned batteries only last 3 months.  A fully restored and reconditioned battery can last as long as a new battery. Our return rate is less than 1%.

But is it safe to use ?
Our desulphation process uses high frequency pulses to agitate the lead sulphate crystals  breaking it's hard molecular bonds.This changes it to soft sulphate and allow it to take place in the chemical reaction again. The result is that we get a "Restored Battery" that is as good as new and often last 2 - 3 years.  A restored battery is as good as a new battery.

Save our planet and save money at the same time

Reconditioned batteries are not only for people on a tight budget. They are safe to use, can last as long as a new battery, and is good for the environment. Think about how much energy and raw material have been saved by recucling and reusing a reconditioned battery.

Low cost battery bank for an off grid power system

The heart of an off grid system are the batteries

The first thing that you want to get right when setting up an off grid system are the batteries. These is the most expensive part of the system and it is also the most vulnerable.

All batteries sulphate over time. Harderned sulphate molecules cannot take part in the energy exchange. In addition they also form a layer over the active material below insulating it from the acid. This is the main cause of loss capaciity in new batteries that sits on the shelf.

Our desulphation process and techniques soften up these sulpahte molecules so that they can take part in the energy exchange again. In doing so it also exposes the active material below which results in the huge increase of capacity.

A new 12 volt 200 ah gel or agm battery can cost up to $2500. We sell these for less than $500. A small 400 ah 6 X 2volt cells can cost up to $8000 we sell these for $1200. Restored and recondition batteries although about 1/10 the price will last just as long ie 5 to 15 years.

Looking at it another way. For the price of a new battery bank, if you use restored batteries instead, you could pay for the whole system. The better news is that we can continue to support and service these batteries to extend their useful life.

Before setting up a system talk to us about your requirements. getting the correct batteries and keeping the path towards expanding your system open is the beft way towards future proofing you considerale investment. (More)
