Some batteries cannot be recharged. More and more batteries are designed to be rechargeable. But those that can be recharged eventually wear out and they are expensive to replace. Remember when you had to replace the lithium ion battery for your lap top or smart phone. That cost you more money than you expected, right. And remember the time it took find that replacement battery (if you could actually find the proper fit).
More and more people are spending their hard earned income on batteries as we become more reliant on them and they keep going up.

What if you could learn a way to recondition your old batteries to 100 percent of there working condition.
Watch this short presentation and learn how to recondition those batteries you paid with your hard earned money.
Different Types of Batteries Commonly Used Today
1. Lead Acid - These batteries are expensive when compared to newer technologies. Lead acid batteries are the oldest type of rechargeable battery. These batteries have a relatively large power to weight ratio as they are used to start your car or truck on those cold winter mornings. Recycling the components of lead acid is been a very successful process in many places. In the United States 99% of all battery lead was recycled between 2009 and 2013. The main reason for the short life a lead acid battery is the depletion of the active material. Can these batteries be restored? Many failures are premature and cannot be restored. However if a situation is recognized in-time the battery can be saved.
2. Nickel Cadmium (Ni Cd) - This is another type of rechargeable battery using nickel oxide hydroxide and metallic cadmium as its electrodes. These batteries were once widely used in portable power tools and flash lights. They have been largely replaced by Lithium Ion batteries in power tool applications. These batteries tolerate deep discharges which make them harder to damage then other rechargeable batteries. They have have much higher energy density when compared to lead acid batteries. Because the battery uses the heavy metal the have a large pollution factor when they enter landfill sites or are incinerated.
3. Nickel Metal Hydride - This rechargeable is similar to the NiCd battery in its chemical operation. However this battery can two to three times the capacity as a NiCd of the same size. It energy capacity can approach that of a similar in size Lithium Ion Battery. Repeated partial discharging can affect its memory. These batteries are often used in digital cameras.
4. Lithium Ion - This battery uses lithium ions that move from the positive electrode to the negative electrode during its discharge period. The opposite occurs when it is recharging. Today they are very popular in consumer electronics especially those that require high energy densities and low memory effects. They are very often used in a variety of portable power tools such as impact drivers, drills, circular saws and reciprocated saws. They are starting to replace lead acid batteries in certain applications. These batteries are generally considered a non-hazardous waste. Because of their light weight Li-ion batteries are being used in battery powered automobiles.
