When most people start looking at going solar, or building off grid, they are faced with some unpleasant realizations. To make a solar grid large enough for the option of producing significant solar power, you are not just looking at the solar panels themselves, but the required battery bank in order to make your system function. The reality is that most sytems will require approximately thirty lead acid batteries in order to store the electricity produced by the grid. These batteries are very costly, and that fact may be a significant stumbling block for many people who desire to go to solar power.
If you are a Do-It-Yourselfer (DIYer), you might want to take a look at reconditioning used batteries. It is possible to return a battery to nearly new condition and significantly reduce costs.
This is applicable not only to batteries for power grids, but also other large batteries, such as car batteries. Every car owner is familiar with the expensive cost of replacing a car battery. According to the auto parts folks, batteries have limited lives and simply can get worn out. What if instead of having to spend hundreds of dollars, you could simply recondition your car battery?
It is completely possible to recondition numerous battery types: NiCd, NiMH, and lithium-ion batteries as well as the previously discussed car batteries and lead acid batteries. You don’t need a huge amount of resources, just a few tools. Think of all the batteries that are used throughout your household, what if instead of replacing them you could restore them? Saving money, saving the environment, and reusing resources, certainly seems practical and reasonable. You may not have heard of battery reconditioning before, but it is not a new development. There are several ways to recondition batteries, and you will find that you require very little in order to save a great deal of money. In fact, there are established businesses that do this on a regular basis.
Is reconditioning the same as recharging?
No. When you recharge your used batteries, they will not reach their previous level of power, and this will deteriorate with time. When you recondition your battery, it will regain nearly all of its power. Many battery companies now have “rechargeable” batteries and the equipment to recharge these batteries. This enables the company to sell consumers more items, charge more for the batteries, while not really giving more life to the batteries, compared to reconditioned batteries.
