How to Restore Factory Performance of Starter Batteries After Prolonged Storage: From Diagnosis to Restoration
8 June 2026
With our CENTRE 360 offer, we support entrepreneurs in setting up and developing a center capable of handling lead-acid, NiCd, NiMH and lithium batteries. A turnkey solution to enter a growing market with numerous business opportunities, with the goal of achieving profitability quickly. While addressing the specific needs of each local market, CENTRE 360 also helps develop new skills and create local jobs.
Batteries are used across every sector of our daily lives: transport, logistics, industry, telecommunications, mobility and power tools. Their applications and chemistries vary, but they all share the same need: access to local solutions to maintain these batteries and extend their service life.
To provide a comprehensive response to these needs, we developed our CENTRE 360 offer. We bring together the equipment, training and support required to build a business around battery regeneration and reconditioning, with guidance at every stage of the entrepreneurial journey.
Support that begins before opening and continues over the long term
Setting up a battery regeneration center requires technical, commercial and management expertise. With CENTRE 360, we support entrepreneurs throughout the entire process.
Before the center opens, we help them structure their business and prepare for operations: center organization, installation planning, recruitment support and preparation for the commercial launch. The goal is to turn a project into an operational business tailored to its local market.
During the launch phase, we provide technical and commercial training, enabling teams to operate the equipment, master the required procedures and present their services to prospective customers. This transfer of expertise is an essential part of our turnkey solution.
Our commitment continues after the center opens. Technical assistance, commercial support and regular follow-up allow entrepreneurs to rely on our expertise as their business develops. Access to our tools and resources is ongoing, as is our support.
A solution covering all major battery chemistries
CENTRE 360 brings together, within a single center, solutions designed for different battery chemistries: lead-acid, nickel-cadmium (NiCd), nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) and lithium-ion.
This broad coverage makes it possible to address a wide range of needs within the same geographical area: starter, traction and stationary batteries, as well as batteries for hybrid vehicles, electric mobility and power tools.
Each battery technology requires a specific approach. We therefore combine the regeneration of lead-acid, NiCd and NiMH batteries with lithium-ion battery reconditioning. This enables the center to develop several complementary activities and become a local service provider for businesses, public authorities and individuals.
The standard equipment package included with CENTRE 360 comprises:
- one BRT10,
- one BRT MASTER PRO DUO,
- one QTK,
- two discharge benches,
- one HEV36,
- one PTS 800.
Combined with training and our ongoing support, this equipment provides the technical foundation for the project.
One center for all battery technologies.
Developing a Local Business and New Skills
With CENTRE 360, we aim to enable entrepreneurs to create or diversify their business in a sector that addresses concrete needs: maintaining battery fleets, extending their service life and providing solutions tailored to a wide range of equipment.
This activity is firmly rooted in local communities. It contributes to local job creation and the development of skills in battery diagnostics, regeneration, reconditioning and maintenance. Training helps transfer this expertise and supports the emergence of new professions within the circular economy.
For businesses, public authorities and local residents, having a center nearby also provides a valuable local resource: a specialist capable of assessing their needs and providing the appropriate service.
A Complete Solution Supporting the Circular Economy
Extending the service life of batteries helps preserve their value in use before they are ultimately sent for recycling. By developing centers capable of handling multiple battery chemistries, we aim to make this approach accessible to a wider range of users and industries.
The CENTRE 360 offer embodies this ambition: giving entrepreneurs the means to build a business that benefits their local area, with an all-in-one solution and long-term support. From the initial project to the development of the center, we work alongside them to make battery regeneration and reconditioning locally accessible services.
