Engineered in
conjonction with Volvo Car Corporation
Conductance technology is based on the
mesurement
of conductance, which measures a battery's ability to produce
current. It
is a measure of the plate surface available in the battery, which
determines
how much power the battery can supply. It is the fastest, sfest
and easiest
test method available for accurarely determining a batterry's true
state of
health. It also separetes the battery's condition from state of
charge,
thereby permitting accurate assessment of discharged
battery. |
Beyond developing technologically advanced battery
testing charging and monitoring
products, MIDTRONICS is a leader in battery related research.

Unique Conductance Technology Conductance describes the ability
of a battery to conduct current. It is a measurement of the plate
surface
available in a battery for chemical reaction, which determines how much
power
the battery can supply. Years of laboratory and field test data
have proven
that conductance provides a reliable indication of battery state of
health and
a direct correlation to battery capacity. As a battery ages, the
plate
surface can sulfate or shed active material, which adversely affects
its
ability to perform. Conductance can be
used to
detect cell defects, shorts, and open circuits which can cause the
battery to
fail. Using Conductance, MIDTRONICS testers and diagnostic chargers
are
able to determine the battery's true state of health and provide an
indication
of the battery's remaining life.
MIDTRONICS Conductance Technology is recognized worldwide
as the new standard for determining battery condition and controlling
battery
charging, and is the required test method for battery warranty
decisions at
most automotive OEMs worldwide. Major backup power users worldwide
use
Conductance testing as their guideline for battery management
decisions.
