Battery Doctors Makes Charitable Mission to Borneo
A United Kingdom distributor of Battery Doctors’ California-based business traveled to Southeast Asia on a charity mission to provide communication networks and power for the small villages along Borneo’s rivers.
(PRWEB) October 1, 2004 - A group of Battery Doctors
volunteered to trek to Malaysia on their days off from work to recondition
batteries for people in the remote villages of Borneo. The United Kingdom
division of Battery Doctors, a California-based company, made it possible
for these small villages to communicate with each other and to have power for
more than only a few hours per night.
Hywel Philippart, one of the UK
team members, described the conditions in the villages prior to their arrival:
“Until now, the way to get a message to the people in the longhouse was to call
someone in the town of Medamit and ask them to put the word about that if anyone
is going up the river past the longhouse, could they please pass on this
message.” Now these small villages can directly communicate with the use of
their newly reconditioned batteries.
Lead acid batteries are used in
virtually any industry from automobiles to farming, trucking, boating,
construction, in forklifts, golf carts, fleet vehicles, hospitals,
telecommunications, and the list goes on. The Battery Doctors
distributors throughout the world use an environmentally-friendly method of
reconditioning—not just recharging— lead acid batteries that would have
otherwise been discarded.
The difference between reconditioning
batteries and the traditional method of rebuilding batteries is the unique Battery
Doctors process. The batteries are not taken apart. Instead, a small amount of a
chemical exclusive to Battery Doctors called ProBat™ is poured into the battery.
ProBat dissolves the lead sulfate crystals that cause 80% of all lead acid
batteries to fail. The battery is then charged, prepped, and ready to work,
often doubling the life of the battery.
Anyone can start their own
environmentally-friendly business of reconditioning batteries. The chemicals
used by Battery Doctors are only available through Battery Doctors
distributors and are not sold in stores. This provides for almost no
competition, and that is one of the reasons why their battery reconditioning
business is so successful.

In addition to setting up a communication system, the UK
team used reconditioned car batteries to supply the villages with power. Before
the team’s visit, the people only had four hours of power each evening; anything
left unfinished would have to wait until the next night. After the team
reconditioned the batteries, the people had enough power to last them throughout
the day. If these batteries had not been reconditioned, they would have mostly
likely been discarded into the Malaysian rivers or jungles. The people are now
able to use safe, reconditioned batteries with little expense.
Marc S.
Keith, Director of Product Development for Battery Doctors, says,
“We are revolutionizing the battery industry. We are taking batteries, many of
which would have ended up along our highways or in our landfills, and putting
them back into service. I am very proud to be able to contribute to our
environment while at the same time helping people to realize their dreams of
owning their own business, because these Battery Doctors
businesses can be extremely profitable.”
