Why do Batteries only last a Year?- page 2

*The green light lies* Does the green 'ready' light on the charger indicate a good battery? No. Even a low performing battery will show 'ready' when full.		*Battery maintenance made simple* Battery service prolongs battery life, weeds out the non-performers and increases user confidence. A simple, self-governing system is illustrated on the next page. The time required maintaining a large battery fleet should take less than 30 minutes per day. The user only picks a battery that is properly documented with service date and capacity readings printed on a battery label. Expired packs are brought in for service. With such a system, the user has full confidence that the battery will last through the shift.

Larger batteries do not necessarily carry more energy. Memory ridden batteries B and D (above) retain less energy than battery A. Weak batteries go to 'ready' quicker than good packs. They gravitate to the top and become the target for the unsuspecting user. Carrying larger batteries or switching to energy-dense chemistries does not improve system reliability if weak packs are left in the fleet.
