FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs) Read here some of the most commonly asked questions & their answers regarding Battery Chem™ Battery Chem™ Questions and Answers Q. Can Battery Chem™ work as it say it does? A. Battery Chem™ works on 70% of the batteries that are able to pass our initial tests as explained in our training manuals and videos. Battery Chem™ will not repair a shorted or totally dead cell. It is mainly for the recharging of sulfated lead acid batteries. Read the training manual and watch the videos on this website. Q. On average, how long does it extend the battery life? A. Our testing shows that when our chemical is used in a quality battery it will last from 2 to 5 years. We have revived giant forklift batteries that have sat in freezing cold warehouses for three years and were never charged even one time. Battery reconditioning is not an exact science and results often vary. But 70% success is a reliable figure. We are selling literally tons of it here in the USA. It is going to people who recondition batteries by the 5 gallon pail. We have also sold it to members of the military. Our factory in India has also. We have already received certifications. Q. How can I try this for myself? A. You can purchase a sample package of Battery Chem™. There is enough to recondition two automobile batteries. Purchase a sample package on this website. Q. How long has Battery Chem™ been on the market? A. We have successfully manufactured and sold Battery Chem™ for over 25 years. Q. Are there any other products out there like Battery Chem™? A. We sell a dry mixed chemical compound and I have never seen another product like it. We have tested many liquid products with very bad results. Q. Do we need a business license and permit for a Battery Chem™ business? A. It would depend on your city and its rules and regulations if you need a business license and permit. If you were going to do your business from a garage where people would be coming to drop off batteries, then I would think it is advisable to check with your town/city requirements. Q. Are there grants for this type of business? A. We suggest that you check with your town/city offices. There may be something that you can learn about to help start your business. Battery Chem™ helps keep  batteries out of the landfills before their time. You never know until you ask. Q. If I put in too much Battery Chem™, will it ruin the battery? A. You can never ruin a battery by putting in more Battery Chem™. Check on this web site for the correct amount for the automobile batteries, and the forklift batteries. Q. When I recondition a fork lift battery is there anything else I should do after it is finished? A. Yes, you should always tell the customer about the Monthly Maintenance Agreement that you have.  It will not only keep you in front of your customer, but it will also save your customer money because you will be there checking the battery monthly, to make sure that it is working correctly. Q. What are the advantages of selling the Monthly Maintenance Agreement to my forklift battery customer? A. Most batteries fail early because of improper service. The people that drive the forklifts just don’t care about them. They do not belong to them, and they also don’t have to pay to replace the batteries. For instance they let the batteries go dry and then they add tap water instead of distilled water. Based on our experiences a battery can last three to four times longer with proper service and Battery Chem™….that’s the reason you should promote your Monthly Maintenance Service to your customer. Q. I have heard that over time adding water to the battery weakens the acid. Will adding Battery Chem™ stop the need to add acid?  A. We have found that many service people are sucking out worn out electrolyte and replacing it with fresh acid and then adding Battery Chem™. You have to be careful not to exceed the normal specific gravity reading though. The old acid does wear out. Q. Does Battery Chem™ work on golf cart batteries also? A. Battery Chem™ is great for golf cart batteries! Each cart, depending on the make and model, have either 4 – 6 batteries per cart, and you would charge a fee for each battery you service. As you can see, this is a very profitable business to be in! A good idea would be to do one cart for them for free, and when they see the great results you get from Battery Chem™, they will hire you to do the rest of their fleet. The batteries in the carts are 6 volt batteries-- they have less cells, but they are larger by volume, so you would use 2 tablespoons per cell. Q. Do you have some type of guide on how to price golf cart batteries that we recondition? A. You would set your own price according to what your market will allow in your area. Also look up the cost of replacement batteries to get an idea of what to charge your customer. Q. If the battery must always read 12V before its ready to add Battery Chem™, if it doesn’t ready 12Volts, does it mean it can’t be saved or that it’s life can’t be extended? A. If the voltage is below 12 volts, you can give the battery a 30 minute hi amp charge and then retest the total voltage. Make sure to do a load test also. After you treat the battery, you charge it on high amps until you see all the cells bubbling. That takes 15-20 minutes then, at 2 amp usually overnight. It varies from battery to battery. If you do not have our automatic chargers, you just keep monitoring and load testing the batteries. After a few batteries you get a feel for testing and charging times. Q. Once the Battery Chem™ has been added and charged, how often do you have to add Battery Chem™ again and re-charge it? A. Once a year should be fine. If the alternator on the vehicle is working properly, you should not have to charge the battery. The alternator should keep it charged. If a battery goes dead, it can be from a bad alternator, dirty cables, loose connections, or a defective voltage regulator. Q. How much Battery Chem™ is needed to recondition a battery? A. 6 Volt Battery = 2 tablespoons of Battery Chem™ per cellSolar Battery = 2 tablespoons of Battery Chem™ per cell12 Volt Battery = 1 tablespoon of Battery Chem™ per cellForklift Battery = 1 cup of Battery Chem™ per cell Q. How about 18 wheelers? Is Battery Chem™ good for them also? A. Of course! Battery Chem™ is effective on all lead acid batteries. There are usually 4 per truck. The batteries are 12 volts in most cases, and it is advisable to put 2 tablespoons per cell instead of one. All the cells should be tested for 2 volts each, before adding chemicals. Q. How do you test a forklift battery? A. The testing for the forklift battery reconditioning is exactly the same as in the video for the regular 12 volt batteries, except that forklift batteries have 12 cells = 24 volts, 18 cells = 36 volts, and 24 cells = 48 volts. The larger batteries are required because more power is needed to lift the larger loads. Each cell should read at least 2.2 volts to 2.5 volts when fully charged. The technician should charge the battery, do the tests, then add the Battery Chem™ to each cell. It is best to add 1 cup per cell. Then put the battery back into service, and it will continue to improve with each charging, discharging, and recharging cycle. Charging, discharging and recharging results in a vast improvement in battery performance. You can see a real time video on this website. Q. Do batteries have to be on a charger while adding water?
