I don't know about you, but with the economy as bad as it is, I am always on the lookout for a way to make some extra money or to save some money. My "survival antennae" go up when I see something that could be a really good side business, done at home, which requires very little start-up costs, and could be a boon in a prolonged grid-down scenario. It's reconditioning used batteries for profit.
First off, all I ever knew about batteries was that they were filled with some kind of acid and held an electrical charge and periodically lost their charge usually at just the wrong moment. How many times have you needed at least one "jump" because your car battery was dead? Eventually, batteries do wear out and have been simply thrown away. Batteries of all types are chucked into landfills all across the country. But "one man's trash is another man's treasure" and that's a perfect description for this easy-to-learn business.
Before jumping in head first however, you will need some specialized knowledge and that's what you will learn with the opportunity package from Reconditioning Batteries.
For example, not all batteries are salvageable. Reconditioning Batteries will teach you which ones can be fixed and re-used. Also, the typical car battery will last about 3 to 4 years before it won't hold a charge anymore. It doesn't hold a charge anymore because the lead plates inside it have become crusted-over with a heavy layer of lead sulphate, and that keeps the plates from being good electrical conductors. Since it can't be charged again, it is considered a dead battery and simply thrown away.
What is the secret to this business? There are ways to remove the encrusted sulphation off the lead plates so that it dissolves back into the sulphuric acid solution. The plates are then clean again and the battery is restored to 100% usable condition. Knowing just how to restore these dead batteries can be a very lucrative way to earn money and provide a much-needed service.
There are some safety issues with this business which you will need to address, but sensible precautions will keep things safe. However, if you are at all squeamish about handling such items, then this is not for you. But for you DIY types, this could be just the ticket you've been looking for. If you are currently unemployed, reconditioning batteries seems to me a great way to make your own job. I also see it as a way for responsible teenagers and college students to earn extra money, especially if they have not been able to find a part-time job.
Any way you look at it, the demand for reconditioned batteries is going up. There are many different types of batteries that can be re-claimed and sold. With more and more folks setting up their own home solar power systems, knowing how to reclaim the deep-cycle marine batteries can also be extremely profitable. Rejuvenating old, dead batteries to be 100% usable again is a great way to help the environment. Every battery saved from going into a landfill is one less battery in the landfill.
Reconditioning Batteries is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED as a home business.
With the economy being as bad as it is, and new batteries being as expensive as they are, selling a fully-usable 100% reconditioned battery at a price less than a new battery - but at a price that still makes you a very nice profit - is a win-win scenario for everyone!
