Restored Batteries

Recondition batteries ood for our environment Einstein Restored batteries  Through desulphation the active chemicals in the batteries are returned to solution effectively makihg it a "new" battery. Usually lasting 2 to 3 years our record is five years. Our batteries comes with a 6 months warranty.
Restored batteries saves you money and saves our environment. Every battery return to use is one less manufactured. A huge saving in energy and resources.
We supply and service the whole range of lead acid batteries, from Automotive to deep cycle and traction batteries.
With a restored battery you can get the correct battery for your application at a fraction of the price. (More..)

Sustainable Battery Recycling

Battery ScrapBatteries are the most recycled product  in the world. 94% of lead acid battery is recycleable. The lead is resmelted and reused to make new batteries. The plastic is reused to make new battery casing. The acid is recovered and used in other industrial products and processes such fertilizers, electrolysis and tanning.

With our battery reconditioning system 50% of bateries can be reused. For sustainability individuals and companies should choose reuse over exporting of battery scrap.

The Auckland Regional Authority supports sustainable battery recycling and work closely with us. So does Woosh and Vector energy.

Hybrid Battery Reconditioning

Prius Series 1Hybrid cars are economical in fuel but HEV battery replacement can cost thousands. This stops many people from purchasing a used hybrid. What a shame because, this is a very good car.

Without a working battery the Hybrid car is scrap metal! A replacement battery for the Generation 1 Prius cost $12,000. This is more than the vehicle is worth. Owners and early adopters of this technology have been very badly let down by the Toyota.

We started reconditioning HEV battery packs in 2007. Over the years we developed a reputation as being the experts in the field of HEV battery reconditioning. Generation 1 Prius owners from as far as Australia and the UK have used our services.

We now offer rebuilt Nimh battery packs with a one year warranty and after warranty support. Rebulit packs are more reliable than reconditioned packs.

Existing owners can also purchase a HEV battery warranty from The Battery Clinic. Depending on the model we offer a one, two or three year warranty.

Traction Battery Reconditioning

Recondition your electric forklift battery and saveTraction batteries for forklift cost up to $15,000 or more to replace. Many charge thousands just to replace a few cells which still leaves a battery with  many weak cells. We charge between $600 to $1000 to restore and recondition forklift batteries. You will get a battery in good working condition and our twelve month warranty as well. Reconditioned forklift batteries are excellent as energy storage in battery banks.
 

Solar Power

BD40 solar panel arrayIf the voltage of a solar panel falls below 13.5 volts, the battery cannot be charged because of back EMF.
Unlike most panels where peak voltage is 18 volts, amorphous panels like the BD40 peak is 62 volts.
Even in low light conditions output voltage is above the 13.5 volts required to charge the battery.
If shadowed non performing cells can cut the current flow. Some panels use bypass diodes to overcome this problem. When enough cells are affected the panel stop working.
Amorphous panels converts energy from a wider spectrum of natural light, and can handle intense direct sunlight. This explains their ability to work well in low light and in shadows. It will continue to function even if bird droppings falls on it.

Wind Power

Elegant quality RB900 New Zealand made wind generator The larger the propellors the more energy that can be extracted from the wind.
However for a given alternator (motor) there is a maximum limit to the size of the propellors that can be used.
In most locations the average wind speed is around 5.5 meters per second. So the output of a wind generator at this speed is more important than the quoted peak output at 12 meters per second.
Most manufacturers will quote the monthly average output of their wind generator at 5.5 meters a second.

Lithium Ion Batteries

Lithium PackHigh energy density and low weight makes lithium ion batteries a strong candidate for the future in secondary energy storage. It is increasingly being used in power tools and becoming the battery of the future in electric vehicles.
