Battery Care

Welcome to the Leaning Tools section of cadex.com. Here you find practical experience and gossip from many conferences and academic institutions summarized in entertaining and easy-to-read presentations. Guys don’t want to read too much, so enjoy the engaging graphics as teaching tool.
 

How to Maintain Batteries
Batteries are often installed and forgotten. Some packs are replaced too soon but most are left in service too long and become unreliable. Learn what causes batteries to fail and how you can check their health with modern battery test equipment. The presentation also introduces smart batteries and rapid-test technologies.
