Environmentally Conscious

Is Rebuilding My Battery Pack Environmentally Conscious or Cost Effective to Me?

Absolutely!

Environmentally Conscious: Rebuilding your battery is a conscious effort to fight a throw-away society, to recycle everything in the battery, and to be cost effective. For an idea of the cost effectiveness of rebuilding look at our "Value" formulas on our Formulas Page and compare our price for a rebuilt battery to that of a new battery pack. Save the difference and get a salary increase! Also, follow Genesis 1:26 and keep Earth friendly and safe for your children and future generations! Be Responsible! Be A Great Citizen for yourself, Human!
Cost Effective: Rebuilding high quality battery packs with the best cells available will allow a good battery case and components to be used throughout your career. A cost conscious professional will avoid any battery that is designed to simply work for two or three year years and then can only be traded in for the same battery at a very expensive cost.

Recycle Anton Bauer
We
- Pay the labor to
  - Cut the shells open for future use
  - Remove the old dead battery insert
  - Discharge any residual charge from the battery insert
  - Cut away the weld tab connectors
  - Slide the battery cells out of any paper tubes
  - Save and reuse the good paper tubes
  - Save and reuse any washers that "SHOULD" have been placed within any battery sticks for the insert
  - Hammer down the sharp nuggets left from pulling away the tabs
  - Wrap the individual cells in zip lock plastic bags, i row per bag, roll up the bag, and place in a box for melt down
  - Ship the raw battery cells to a melt down facility
  - All this cost us money
  - The cost to purchase new paper tubes and washers is comparable to the cost to salvage these but this has always been and will remain to be our procedure
  - We practice recycle and have always been Green.
