Did you know that you don’t need to throw away your batteries when they stop working? There is a simple, inexpensive and effective method to bring them back to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By using only salt and hot water, you can reuse them, save money and take care of the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n

Materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • 1 tablespoon edible salt (can be coarse or fine).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 150 ml of hot water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Pot to boil the water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • A heat-resistant container.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Stirring tool (such as a spoon).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Paper towels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Batteries\u00a0discharged.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Procedure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Prepare the saline<\/strong>
      solution Boil water in a pot and pour 150 ml into a heatproof container. Add a tablespoon of edible salt and stir until completely dissolved. Salt is key, as it improves ionic conduction within the battery.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Submerging the batteries<\/strong>
      Place the batteries in the saline solution. Gently stir with a tool to ensure that the salt reaches all points of the battery. This allows the internal components to react correctly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Let it<\/strong>
      sit Leave the batteries in the solution for 15 to 20 minutes. This time is enough for the electrolyte solution to activate again the chemical reactions necessary to generate electrical energy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Dry the batteries<\/strong>
      Remove the batteries from the container and dry them thoroughly with paper towels. Make sure to remove all moisture to avoid oxidation issues at the positive and negative poles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. Test the battery<\/strong>
      Place the battery in the appropriate device and check if it is working properly. If the process was successful, it should be ready for use.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Useful tips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • This method is ideal for small batteries, such as those we use in remote controls or watches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • If the battery is completely drained or damaged, this trick may not work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Remember to recycle batteries that cannot be recovered to avoid polluting the environment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        With this simple trick, you will not only save money, but you will also contribute to the care of the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
