Midtronics Battery Testers can be used on any type of vehicle from cars, to light or heavy commercial vehicles or motorcycles. A battery tester details the health and functionality of the battery. It\u00a0identifies the efficiency\u00a0 and reports on the\u00a0state of charge, voltage and capacity. All Midtronic battery testers have the option to print a hard copy report\u00a0 and can be recorded with the service sheet.<\/p>\n
“Midtronics test method allows battery testing and diagnostic charging to be safer, faster, simpler and conducted in front of the customer. Each battery test takes just 7 seconds. Midtronics Battery Testers will provide a higher service level, increase\u00a0battery revenue and efficient battery management for the workshop”,\u00a0says Matthew Burke of aide automotive<\/p>\n
It is a common myth that a vehicle recharges a battery while driving, however this is not true, it merely replaces the lost capacity used. A battery needs to be recharged fully to avoid breakdowns. Modern trucks power a lot of electrical items such as TV’s, microwaves and kettles while static. This will drain the battery and not replace the capacity so recharging is essential if the full life of a battery is to be maintained!<\/p>\n
