Every technician knows the value of a solid battery tester. A good diagnostic tool can give you voltage, state of charge, state of health, and a wealth of other information within seconds. But the truth seasoned techs have learned the hard way is that accurate battery tests don’t start the moment you clamp the leads […] The post Why Accurate Battery Diagnostics Start Before Hooking Up the Tester 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
For more than a century, lead-acid batteries have powered internal combustion engine vehicles, setting the standard for 12-volt systems. From compact| Midtronics
When an internal combustion engine car has trouble starting or moving, most techs know where to begin: battery, starter, fuel delivery, ignition. But EVs are a different game. With fewer mechanical parts and more sophisticated electronics, powertrain issues can sometimes mask as battery problems when the real fault lies deeper. If your shop is seeing […] The post When a Battery Isn’t the Problem: Diagnosing EV Powertrain Faults appeared first on Midtronics.| Midtronics
