1. A method, comprising:
determining a state-of-health value of a battery used for a primary application, wherein the state-of-health value of the battery is less than an original capacity value of the battery, the battery being connected to an electrical power source for re-conditioning;
determining a target state-of-health value for the battery and a number of cycles required to achieve the target state-of-health value of the battery, each cycle in the number of cycles comprises at least one of: a charging the battery and a discharging the battery; and
re-conditioning the battery by cycling the battery using the number of cycles, wherein cycling comprises drawing electrical power from the electrical power source until a re-conditioned state-of-health value of the battery corresponding to a secondary application is reached.
