...oe with a Charging issue, and only 2% remaining on the battery, landed in their workshop. Reviewing everything they had learned on the training course was a struggle. So a call to the technical helpline was made, to form an action plan. They first noticed that the Charging cable had been...
...sts Many Charging and starting system faults can be solved with the basic potential difference testing under operating loads. Any circuit should have little or no volt drop from end to end while under load. These include Charging power and ground circuits. Increased voltage drop levels se...

...Improved Charging and cycle times • Additional internal plate components • Leak resistant to 55 deg. AGM performance improvements include: • 4x extended cycle times • Sealed plates at 1bar preventing loss of active material • Very low internal resistance • High energy...
...or by disCharging a capacitor. The onset of complex control motors in vehicle systems demands a more responsive means of switching whilst, reducing where possible the current through the PCM. This method is referred to as pulse width modulation (PWM). By pulsing a circuit, the duty cycle...
...not over-Charging the technician thought. The technician who was very experienced in diagnostics, contacted me for advice on how to approach this issue, as they had not seen it before. As the vehicle was fitted with Stop Start and a battery monitoring module, we decided to scan all syst...
