Pro-tec International - Battery Doctors Clearly a scam, proved product system did not work numerous other individuals with same information and complaints.Being Placerville California

I, too, purchased a Battery Doctor distribitorship in April 2009, and attended the training program in PA for three days as suggested by the salesman.  After attending the training I learned I would not be able to do business at my home even though I had added a 8x30 foot addition just for this purpose.  I would have to have a paint booth built and approved by the County codes, proper licensing for re-furbishing batteries along with additional investments and supplies not included in the original $13,500 industrial package which I had to purchase prior to attending the training.  Also, I had asked for references of other successful dealerships, and the salesman gave me ONE person other than the one in PA where I attended the training.  I still have the original package of products and supplies I received along with training manuals, etc.  which I would be more than happy to SELL to someone for a lot less than I paid for.  Everything is still new as I received it.  My phone is 678-520-4404, please call make me an offer before you invest the full amount.  I can only say I allowed myself to purchase prior to fully checking it out.  There should be some form of return for credit allowed by Battery Doctors/Pro Tech under Mike's circumstances.  My guess is, for every one of the people who purchase a Battery Doctor's program, you will probably find about one in 25 who are still working it after a few short months.  Oh, after purchasing my program, I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM anyone at Battery Doctor's.  This tells me something.  I certainly would like my money back, but it looks doubtful, they have all the cards.  Also, used batteries are NOT readily available in my area either.  Good luck Mike in your endeavor, and thanks for your service to our country.

Man I'm sorry and supprised you were not able to make it work.  I am a disabled vet also and I made a great business with Battery Doctors.  I purchased it several years ago and have reconditioned over a thousand batteries with it.  It works great.  I know other BD guys that are also making a good business with it.  I think you are doing somethidng wrong.

I am sorry to hear of your bad luck. I am not part of Protec/Battery Doctor or any other company. But I have been reconditioning batteries since the mid 80's and I love it. I take junk car batteries and reconditioned them.  Most of the batteries I get are free others I buy. I recondition 10 to 13 at a time 3 or 4 may fail but the others are ready to rock. The weak batteries I sale to car lots at 10.00 each no guarantee. Junk batteries I save them to sell to the junk yard, this makes for a good Christmas. I build my own chargers use only distilled water. I learned the hard way battery additives do not work. Fact is, a bad battery is just that bad and nothing is going to change it.  If the battery cell voltage is at two volts per cell. After reconditioning without any additives the battery will be one of these 12.6 volt with amps- good, 12.6 volt low or no amps-junk, no volts no amps- junk. Advice stay away from car lots with the best batteries sell them the weak good ones. Stay away from fleets and corporations they want it cheap and takes months to get the money. Build your business one person at a time make sure each person is one hundred percent happy. Use the KISS method price plus one year guarantee no questions asked. Buying batteries don't ever pay 7.50 to 10.00 per battery. I pay three dollars a battery people tell me they can get 10.00 per battery I tell them to go for it. This works because the poor can't pay new battery price. Now days poor people are very where.
