How do we recondition a battery?
1. Battery Testing and Reconditioning
This step involves load testing the battery to identify bad cells, performing deep discharging and charging cycles to break up crystalline formation, and retesting the battery to ensure all modules have been successfully reconditioned.
2. Battery Customization and Configuration
In this step, the module capacities are measured and monitored, paired for optimal performance, and used to build a battery according to the customer’s budget and needs. Different warranty options are also offered based on the customer’s requirements.
3. Quality Assurance and Install
This final step involves installing the battery with the verified capacity, ensuring that the customer receives the best value and highest quality product at Dave’s Performance Hybrids.
