Recelling options for AB Hytron batteries and charger compatibility with Dionic batteries
18 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- A battery recelling service in Ontario, California used LG cells and offered a 3-week turnaround at competitive pricing compared to other regional options.
- Recelling older Hytron batteries through certain vendors produced poor results and was not recommended as a cost-effective option.
- Dionic batteries could be charged in a Quad InterActive charger that was three years old, though a software revision upgrade might improve charging performance.
- A Quad InterActive charger software upgrade to revision 4.7 or higher could be obtained for approximately $45 if needed for compatibility with Dionic batteries.
Depends on
- The discussion dates to 2008 and current service availability is unknown.
- No specific quality assessment was provided for the recelling service mentioned; only pricing was compared.
- The software revision number given as an example may not apply to all charger models or serial numbers.
- No details were given about which Hytron model might have had poor recelling results or through which specific vendor.
- The charging improvements from higher software revisions were described as slight and not quantified.
