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
