EFB Battery Testing, what you need to know
Does your tester have the ability in testing EFB Battery technology?
Many tester manufacturers claim their testers have the ability to accurately test EFB batteries, which at face value is true.
However there are many EFB's out there that can only be tested using specifically designed algorithms, a technology that can only be found in the use of Midtronics dedicated EFB testing platform.
The Covid-19 crisis will be having a huge impact on your customers vehicles due to them sitting stationary for many weeks now. Batteries will be heavily discharged, and the overall health condition of the battery will be depleting. Rotronics specialises in the supply, service and repairs of battery diagnostic technology to many sectors including our […]

The risk of keeping a vehicle stationary for several weeks or months can be extremely costly, regardless of the vehicle age or manufacturer. The most common issue a vehicle encounters after being off the road and out of use for as little as a couple of weeks, is battery failure.

Winter is at the same time every year, but every year the majority of automotive and fleet transport owners, managers and users are ill-prepared for what is around the corner.
The chill of winter can affect a battery’s performance by up to 50%, so the Rotronics team has come up with some tips for you to help keep your vehicles on the road when you want them to be.
Regardless of what happens to the temperatures, the darker nights are a certainty and we need to give urgent thought to the extra loads that will be going on to vehicles.
There will be increased power demands due to lighting, heating systems, electrics, heated seats and de-misting windows and all of these elements put much more excessive drains on vehicles and therefore battery charging and testing is vital.
