How to bring Old Batteries Back to life Again. (Battery Reconditioning)
Ez Battery Reconditioning features
Ez Battery reconditioning product teaches people how to recondition all types of old batteries and bring them back to 100% of their perfect working condition again. This saves people money and has a wide appeal.
This is a product that truly helps people. EZ Battery Reconditioning program saves people money and helps the Earth (because it keeps batteries out of landfills).
Most people spend $15,000+ on batteries over their lifetime and this number continues to grow each day because people are using more and more batteries, and batteries continue to get more expensive. But our course helps reduce this huge cost because people can reuse old (reconditioned) batteries instead! We also teach people all about proper battery maintenance so their new batteries last much longer.
We have step by step instructions that make reconditioning batteries easy for people.
We teach people how to recondition these batteries:
- Car batteries
- Computer and phone batteries
- Rechargeable batteries
- Long life batteries
- Batteries used in alternative energy systems
- Other types of lead-acid batteries
- Deep cycle marine batteries
- Golf cart batteries
- Forklift batteries
- And many other kinds of common batteries!
What is Battery Reconditioning?
In the process of supplying energy to a vehicle or device, a battery discharge process known as sulfation do occurs. This is a chemical reaction process that usually leads to a build-up of sulfate crystals on top of the battery plates. Excessive crystals demand an extra charging times, less efficiency, and lower charge capacity. Reconditioning, or refurbishing, a battery cleanse off these excess sulfates completely, replenishes the electrolyte solution inside the battery and enable the battery to recharge and function like brand new.
Step by Step instructions on how to recondition your Car Battery at Home
These guides are specially meant for lead-acid batteries. Although you do not have to wait until your battery is totally exhausted before you will recondition it. Be safety compliance and do a quick visual inspection to ascertain whether the battery is viable for reconditioning. Check very well for cracks, bulges, or broken pieces of any form. If the battery is not in good physical shape, the best solution is to purchase a brand-new one.
The process of battery reconditioning does not require any engineering degree/techniques, although it takes extra patience. Most of the items you need to recondition your battery are very much available at home.
Equipments needed are:
Personal Protective wear such as apron, safety goggles, chemical-resistant hand gloves.
Funnel
Toothbrush
Two large buckets
Steel wool or battery terminal cleaner
Flathead screwdriver.
Ingredients:
1 pound of baking soda
1 gallon of distilled water (no tap water due to chemicals added)
1 pound of Epsom salt
Specialty items:
Voltmeter
Battery charger

Space out and Suit up–This might not be rocket science, but it is still science. Things could become messy. Ensure that you are working in a well-ventilated area.
Make a cleaning solution– with the use of 2:1 ratio of baking soda to water to make a runny paste. This mixture will be used as battery cleaner as well as an acid spill cover-up.
Ensure you wipe off the battery – If the battery terminals are corroded, apply the cleaning paste (or dedicated battery cleaning product) to the posts and scrub the build-up off very well with a toothbrush. If you get a foaming reaction; it means the solution is working fine. Make use of steel wool for heavily-corroded batteries. Clean, wipe, and dry off the terminals perfectly.
Check or confirm the voltage – Connect the voltmeter. Like jumpstarting a car, the red cable connects to the positive terminal and the black cable to the negative terminal. A standard car battery contains six cells, each producing about 2.1 volts. Therefore, a healthy battery will read 12.6V. Between 10V and 12.6V will mean you can recondition the battery. At less than 10V, replace the battery instead.
Empty the battery cells – Until now, you do not need to remove the vehicle's battery. At this very point, however, you should. Put a bucket and a half-pound of baking soda nearby. Take off the battery cover and use the Flathead screwdriver to cautiously remove the cell caps underneath. One at a time, slowly empty the cell contents into a bucket. You can add baking soda as you proceed or after all the cells are empty. Either way, it will help reduce the effect of the battery acid for safe disposal at any facility such as a recycling center that accepts hazardous waste.
Clean off the battery cells - make use of funnel; pour the cleaning solution into each cell. Firmly replace the cell caps and battery cover. Now shake the battery for at least a minute. Unseal and dispose of the mixture into the existing old-acid waste bucket.
Change the battery cell solution – Mix 4 cups of water with 4 ounces of Epsom salt. Stir until the water is very clear. Boiled water can help speeds up the process but is not necessary. With the aid of funnel, refill the cells with the new electrolyte solution. Cover and re-shake to evenly distribute the salt.
Recharge the battery – Like a good brisket, perform this step low and very slow. Make use of safe and secure area. As an extra precaution, remove the battery caps again as the electrolyte solution will heat up and may overflow during charging. Place the charger as far away from the battery as possible and connect it at a speed of 12V / 2 amps. Let the battery recharge for 36 hours.
Test the battery – Remove the charger and use the voltmeter to check the battery's status. Normal readings are about 12.42V. If yours is lower, recharge it again for another 12 hours. When you are good to go, perform a load test by reinstalling the battery and turning your vehicle to the "On" position and with the high beams on. After a few minutes, test the battery again while it is under load. If the voltmeter readout lists up to 9.6V, congratulations! You have successfully reconditioned your car battery.
How long a reconditioned battery will last depends on its age and existing capacity. In theory, you should be able to repeat this simple process a few more times, which means extending the battery's natural life beyond the typical three to five years.
