The batteries we use for our bikes, scooters and other electric scooters are some form of pollution. Therefore, the reconditioning of batteries in French factories is the best alternative to act in favor of the planet while promoting the national economy.
Electric batteries, a production to monitor
Almost all of the batteries we use daily are lithium-ion. The boom in soft mobility de facto leads to the exponential increase in the production of electric batteries to meet a growing demand. But to make these batteries, there is a need for large quantities of critical metals. Only flat, their extraction produces more pollution. Today we are looking for the perfect combination of practicality, ecological respect for an ever greener consumption.
The production of lithium-ion batteries accelerates
The rapid development of mobility forces manufacturers to produce more electric batteries. In 2019 in France, on the single segment of the electric scooter, the number of sales increased by +109% (Smart Mobility Lab).
At the global level, the demand for lithium follows a phenomenal ascent curve. For Roskill, an analyst firm specializing in metals, by 2026, the production of a million tons of lithium carbonate will be necessary to meet the needs of the market. As a reminder, in 2018, world production was only 320,000 tonnes.. And to produce all this lithium, we are forced to pollute more than we already do.
The exploitation of rare metals necessary for the manufacture of batteries (cobalt, nickel, copper, lithium, etc.) requires a lot of fossil energy. This is useful for making factories and heavy machinery (excavators, trucks, pellet machines, etc.). Therefore, large-scale excavation leads to massive CO2 emissions, a greenhouse gas responsible for global warming.
To adopt an ecological approach, choose battery reconditioning. This will bring an improvement in the components used within your battery for a superior product, more respectful of our planet.
Reconditioning batteries to reduce our carbon footprint
Sustainable ecological solution, the reconditioning of bicycle and scooter batteries puts a stop to electronic waste and the production of pollutant waste. Instead of seeing our batteries end unnecessary in a discharge or even in nature, this recycling mode brings a second breath to the planet.
Why is it so important not to throw our batteries?
In Europe, only 5% of lithium batteries are recycled. The rest is destroyed by incineration or is simply buried... In both cases, it is the environment that sustains it, which cannot be tolerated in our current society. If waste incineration contributes to air pollution, landfilling continually contaminates soils. These batteries contain dangerous heavy metals (cadmium, lead, mercury, etc.) and toxic electrolytes that eventually spread into the earth, streams of water and oceans.
Reconditioning, an ecological approach to preserving the environment
All electrical batteries have a limited lifetime. Over the discharge and recharge cycles, the cells of the accumulators end up losing efficiency. This is not a failure, but an irreversible natural process. Repacking a battery is replacing all used cells with new new cells that will boost the load. In other words, a second life is given to the battery so that it can serve us longer.
Reconditioning is the smart trick to better reduce CO2 emissions, better manage our natural resources, reduce our carbon footprint and lower the water consumption of industries. This process is more eco-friendly, helps to protect the environment through better control of the entire production chain.
The solution for unavailable parts
Sometimes it can be difficult to find some spare parts a few years after a bike or electric scooter purchase. This may be due to a halt to the marketing of the product in question, or simply to concerns about the replenishment of the so-called parts. In this situation, the reconditioning of your battery will also be the solution that will meet all your problems. Repair or reconditioning your battery will allow you to get a new product that will accompany you for several years.
Buying reconditioned batteries is supporting the French economy
The French battery and bicycle reconditioning industry employs thousands of people, whether direct or indirect jobs. Reconditioning is fully achieved in France, which allows local use instead of relocation abroad.
Support the "Made in France" of the reconditioned battery
Repackaged batteries produced in the Hexagon benefit from better control and more respectful production of humans and the environment. Minutiously selected for their reliability, their high-end components deliver increased performance. They have absolutely nothing to envy new batteries. Therefore, you can acquire your batteries with the certainty that they will work optimally.
Batteries designed to last
Assembly in France, the batteries of scooters and electric bikes are guaranteeing unmatched quality. The reconditioning process obeys strict standards that allow you to enjoy the best equipment in the market. Indeed, the “Made in France” is the assurance of having batteries that benefit from an excellent life. In addition, they are generally guaranteed for two years, allowing them to be replaced free of charge in case of proven malfunction.
During the reconditioning procedure, the battery cables and connectors are replaced by new parts. By taking advantage of new cells, the battery is reassembled by respecting its original capacity and power. Subsequently, the whole device is tested for several hours to ensure its proper calibration.
In terms of safety and comfort of use, there is no difference between a repackaged model and a fresh factory battery. The operation is optimal, the performance at the rendezvous and the battery enjoys a lifetime of between 3 and 4 years.
Order custom batteries at the best price
Reconditioned batteries for electric bikes and scooters are available at unbeatable prices. An asset that saves safely. In fact, they are usually sold 20 to 45% cheaper than a new battery. And that's not all!
Indeed, the most attractive is the fact that you can order a custom battery. This option is particularly useful to replace a model that is not found in commerce and/or is no longer being manufactured.
Regardless of the technology of your battery (plomb, Ni-MH, Ni-Cd, polymer lithium or lithium-ion), with reconditioning, you can order a model that perfectly meets your expectations and replace the used accumulator. Smart and practical, this solution is all for your advantage to give your electric bike a new breath and take the road safely.
