If you’ve been keeping an eye on the latest electric vehicles coming through your shop or just following industry news, you’ve probably heard a lot more lately about LFP batteries. That’s lithium iron phosphate. While NMC (nickel manganese cobalt) and NCA (nickel cobalt aluminum) chemistries have been dominant in the EV landscape until now, but […] The post What to Know About LFP Batteries appeared first on Midtronics.| Midtronics
There’s a lot of buzz about how electric vehicles are “maintenance-free.” And it’s true, EVs don’t need oil changes, timing belts, or spark plugs. But let’s be honest, no car is truly maintenance-free, and that includes EVs. If you’re a service advisor, shop owner or manager, or technician working with a growing number of electric […] The post What to Tell Customers About ‘EV Maintenance-Free’ Claims appeared first on Midtronics.| Midtronics
Whether you’re dealing with a 12-volt lead-acid battery or a modern high-voltage lithium-ion pack in an EV, vibration and heat are two of the most persistent challenges to battery performance and lifespan. These two factors quietly but steadily contribute to degradation, reduced capacity, and eventually to failure. Understanding how battery design counters these issues can […] The post Design Factors that Affect Vibration Resistance and Heat Tolerance appeared first on Midtronics.| Midtronics
