How many times have you tossed out old batteries when you thought they were dead? There have been plenty that I got rid of. That was before I learned that you can restore them back to life and keep using them longer. I think of the savings I could have made in car batteries and rechargeable batteries over the years. My brothers golf cart battery could have had its life extended much beyond its normal lifespan before he bought a new one, again saving money.
If you have the time and willingness to try, you could make a business out of reconditioning batteries for people. You could charge them a fee depending on the type of battery. Maybe you could try it part time to get a feel for it, if it works out you could go full time.
It does not take much by way of tools to repair batteries. You can get the tools you need for reconditioning your own batteries for about $50.00 or about $120.00 if you make a business of it. The types of batteries you could repair are car, marine, wheelchair and golf carts. Then you have the rechargeable type used in lap tops and other electron devices.
There are some e-books you can get online that will teach you how to rejuvenate and recondition. You can learn how to repair a battery and measure their capacity, all with the inexpensive tool. For a tip on extending your battery life, use a smart charger that senses when the battery has reached full charge or when the temperature reaches a certain threshold. The smart charger will not overcharge the battery therefore shortening its life.
