Battery Reconditioning

What Is Battery Reconditioning?

Battery reconditioning is a process that restores your lead-acid forklift batteries to near-original capacity. Using specialized equipment, we break down sulfation buildup, rebalance cells, and optimize the battery's chemistry — extending useful life by 2-3 years.

Instead of spending $5,000-$15,000 on a new battery, reconditioning typically costs $325-$795 and delivers up to 85% capacity restoration.

The Reconditioning Process

1. Initial Assessment: We test voltage, specific gravity, and capacity to determine if reconditioning is viable.
2. Deep Discharge: Battery is fully discharged under controlled conditions.
3. Equalization Charge: Extended charging cycle breaks down sulfation crystals.
4. Cell Balancing: Individual cells are balanced for optimal performance.
5. Capacity Test: Final load test confirms restored capacity.
6. Documentation: You receive a detailed report showing before/after performance.

Is Your Battery a Candidate?

Reconditioning works best for batteries that:

• ✓ Are 3-8 years old
• ✓ Show reduced runtime but no physical damage
• ✓ Have been properly watered and maintained
• ✓ Have sulfation buildup (most common issue)

Batteries with cracked cases, severe warping, or dead cells may need repairs or replacement instead. We'll give you an honest assessment — if reconditioning won't work, we'll tell you.
