In\u00a0previous\u00a0years\u00a0aide automotive<\/a>\u00a0have seen battery tester sales increase over the winter period,\u00a0this\u00a0is\u00a0usually\u00a0a reaction from MOT, service garages or commercial workshops reaction to dead battery breakdowns. As the cold freezes\u00a0approach\u00a0it is\u00a0critical\u00a0to make sure all\u00a0vehicles\u00a0batteries\u00a0are in good working order and to\u00a0avoid\u00a0late or non\u00a0deliveries\u00a0in the commercial\u00a0delivery\u00a0sector\u00a0or for vans and cars in the fleet or\u00a0personnel\u00a0use sectors.<\/p>\n

The cold months are commonly known as the peak time for battery failure and roadside defects, many of which\u00a0result\u00a0in non starts, so there no better time than now to equip garages with a good battery tester to ensure that\u00a0vehicle\u00a0batteries are tested in all workshops and that they are in good\u00a0efficient\u00a0state.<\/p>\n

There are several factors\u00a0that\u00a0can affect the\u00a0ability\u00a0of batteries to perform efficiently, such as a drop in\u00a0temperature, the drive cycle of the vehicle and on a\u00a0commercial\u00a0vehicle\u00a0if the batteries are in balance.<\/p>\n

Research has\u00a0reveled\u00a0that\u00a0batteries\u00a0and general electrical faults can be responsible for up to 35 per cent of breakdowns. These include discharged or overcharged batteries, broken drive belts,\u00a0alternator\u00a0defects and starter problems.<\/p>\n

aide automotive\u00a0recommend\u00a0to test and charge batteries\u00a0regular, charging\u00a0batteries\u00a0will replace the lost capacity that modern day\u00a0gadgets\u00a0use, a\u00a0vehicles\u00a0recharging\u00a0circuit will only replace the lost capacity through driving. Sat navs, mobiles\u00a0phones\u00a0and DVDs for example could\u00a0slowly\u00a0discharge a\u00a0battery\u00a0and cause a flat battery\u00a0breakdown.<\/p>\n

aide automotive have been marketing the Midtronics Battery Tester for over 10 years, with some great customer\u00a0response\u00a0over this period the Midtronics\u00a0range\u00a0offer ease of use and accurate diagnose compared to other cheaper models.<\/p>\n

aide automotive<\/a>\u00a0have a\u00a0range\u00a0of new and used\u00a0Midtronics Testers<\/a>, with some used testers in perfect\u00a0condition\u00a0offering a good saving from a new tester.<\/p>\n

To equip a workshop with a excellent tester before the winter hits and keep\u00a0vehicles\u00a0on the road\u00a0contact\u00a0use by clicking on\u00a0Midtronics\u00a0Battery\u00a0Teste<\/a>r and ask for pricing and\u00a0specification\u00a0of\u00a012 volt\u00a0Battery\u00a0Tester<\/a>s or 24 Volt System Testers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
