A battery might look like a heavy block that won’t move once it’s in place, but the reality is different. Without hold downs, the battery can shift, vibrate, and create problems that show up as no-starts, false codes, or premature failure. For service managers, service advisors, and technicians, paying attention to battery hold downs is […] The post Why Battery Hold Downs Matter appeared first on Midtronics.| Midtronics

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
