How to discharge your lead-acid batteries

A lead-acid battery is the most expensive part of your equipment. Making sure it’s in good condition is not just important for keeping your equipment functioning properly - it can also save you lots of money because you won’t have to replace batteries prematurely.

A battery discharge test, or load bank test, is the only way to properly check if your batteries are performing at peak performance. This easy-to-use device makes creating your own customised, detailed and professional battery reports a piece of cake.

Watch the 5-minute video below to learn how to use a professional battery discharger.
