Battery Tips
If you’ve been tracking developments in EV battery technology, the acronym LMR has been appearing with increasing frequency over the past year. Researchers have studied lithium manganese-rich chemistry since the 1990s, but it spent decades as a promising concept that...
Vehicles equipped with digital key technology introduce new battery diagnostic challenges for dealerships. Unlike traditional key fobs, digital keys rely on constant low-voltage system stability, wireless communication modules, and authentication protocols. A weak or...
Dealerships are moving away from reactive battery replacement and toward predictive, data-driven strategies. Rather than waiting for no-start events, forward-thinking service departments are using advanced diagnostic tools and stored test history to identify battery...
