Implement standardized battery testing for heavy equipment attachments to ensure reliability, using templates and KPIs to minimize downtime and optimize inventory.
Ensure attachment performance with standardized battery testing.
Battery testing standards define protocols for assessing battery health in attachments, ensuring optimal performance and integrating with maintenance strategies.
These standards help identify weak batteries early, preventing failures in critical systems like hydraulic attachments and ensuring fleet reliability.
| Parameter | Threshold | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Voltage | <12.4V | Replace |
| Load Test | <80% CCA | Inspect |
| Charge Rate | <90% | Recharge |
| Electrolyte Level | Normal | Monitor |
| Terminal Condition | Clean | Routine Check |
Core equipment and processes for effective battery health checks, supporting inventory management
