Hello,

I am seriously thinking of a battery refill business for a living. It

would
be most likely a one-man shop by myself. I thought the refill is one way

of
using our resource safely and economically if properly serviced and

managed.
Even though I studied the electronic engineering in college many decades
ago, this energy/battery industry is totally new to me.

I suppose there are basic steps in doing this: Opening the battery pack,
disconnecting the circuitry, replacing batteries with new ones after some
welding work, connecting the circuit, and sealing the seams. I have,
however, no idea on the complexity of each step, type of tools and

machines.

Would you be kind enough to give me a piece of advice on this business
technically or non-technically or business-wise. Every information,
experience, warning, advice or threatening from you will help me a lot.
Thanks a lot!

With best regards,

SY Chun



I've done it before to fix a pack I needed right away with mixed results. I
was never able to get the pack to look perfect again after cracking it open,
and welding wires to batteries is extremly tricky without the right tools
but it did work. I suspect you'd have a hard time making any sort of living
off it but if you enjoy tinkering you might make a few bucks on the side to
pay for your hobbies.
