Argus Analyzers Launches Innovative Suite of Powerful Hand-Held Battery Performance Analyzers
Jamestown, RI (ContentDesk via ContentDesk Direct) November 1, 2005 -- Argus Analyzers www.argusanalyzers.com announced today the launch of its AA series, a line of hand-held battery analyzers that delivers the most useful, comprehensive and affordable battery performance information now available to the automotive service and industrial battery service markets. The AA series includes four models starting at $99 which are now available and shipping in the US, Europe and Asia.
According to AAA, battery problems represent the single largest cause of vehicle downtime. With over 230 million private and commercial vehicles on the road in the US alone, the need for fast, accurate and economical battery diagnostics is essential in order to anticipate and avoid battery problems.In the past, auto technicians have relied on dated technologies, including volt meters and toaster-style load testers, which cant perform predictive diagnostics and pose certain safety problems. The electronic testers available until now offer limited technology which has not progressed for over ten years, making the analysis process cumbersome, time-consuming and expensive.Argus Analyzers solutionthe AA series--is a preventative measure.
By making comprehensive battery health information quickly and easily accessible as well as cost effective, auto technicians can now anticipate battery failure - helping valued customers avoid unnecessary auto problems due to dead batteries. With the AA500, its now fast and convenient to proactively test the battery of every vehicle that comes into my shop, something Ive never been able to do, commented Bryan Bryer, owner of Central Garage. In less than 15 seconds, I have enough information to tell my customer its time to replace the cars battery rather than wait for the battery to fail leaving my customer stranded then forced to find a jumpstart or tow. Argus has come up with a battery testing tool that is affordable enough for me to put in every bay at my garage. Argus Analyzers hand-held line employs two patented new test technologies, Crank-CheckTM and High Frequency Impedance, which overcome the critical shortcomings of conventional battery analysis technology." Crank-Check analyzes the batterys performance during an actual starting sequence, providingreal-time information about the starting capacity of the battery relative to the actual load." High Frequency Impedance (HFI) technology measures the internal resistance of the battery. It is similar to existing conductance test approaches, with a few important exceptions: the test can be performed while a battery is in use, eliminating the need to effectively take the battery offline to test. The Argus HFI test is faster, and not confused by interference from vehicle or charger systems.
Additionally HFI is highly accurate over a large range of battery sizes from 30 CCA to over 2000 CCA."Argus' Crank-Check technology provides the most accurate assessment of a battery's cranking health, Bryer continues. There is just no other product out there that gets me this critical battery performance data. The HFI approach to determining battery capacity is the fastest and most accurate available. The technology is so robust we can test battery capacity without worrying about interference from either the vehicle or charger systems. This saves us time, money and eliminates annoying and costly misdiagnoses.
The Argus battery testers provide the information our technicians need to truly understand how a battery is performing so they can make informed and proactive recommendations to their customers. This is a huge improvement over the limited pass/fail results offered by technology in the past."Argus Analyzers hand-held line features four models including the AA 200, 300, 400, and 500--starting at $99--for applications ranging from cars, trucks, and boats, to industrial equipment, telecom equipment and electric vehicles.About Argus AnalyzersBased in Jamestown, Rhode Island, Argus Analyzers www.argusanalyzers.com is composed of an innovative team of scientists, engineers, and manufacturing and marketing professionals with extensive experience in battery and power technology.

Certified Electronic Technician Releases Battery Reconditioning Guide
Dickinson, Texas (ContentDesk) February 1, 2006 -- The Battery Reconditioning Report can save the user hundreds of dollars over a lifetime of rechargeable battery usage. This guide clearly illustrates how anyone can recondition their own Ni-Cd and Ni-Mh batteries. As experience with electronics and the power tool industry, Kevin Dixon (aka. The Battery Geek) noticed a trend in the cordless power tool market. Kevin says "Their is considerable frustration among power tool users that their batteries don't last as long as they would like and replacement batteries are expensive".
In fact, the battery is the most expensive component of power tools, The Battery Reconditioning Report attacks this problem head on and will allow battery users to get up to 5 times the life out of each battery. Ken Rauen, Science Advisor and founding member of New Energy Congress says "The battery reconditioning ebook is a smart set of techniques, some of which I knew for years and have applied to seemingly...

About your Apple Ipods battery life
The Apple Ipod battery is made out of Lithium Ion. Lithium Ion batteries give out a lot more power than the basic nickel based batteries. They have a longer life span and they are used to give power to lots of different items, such as laptops and cellphones.
If you plan on going on vacation without your Apple Ipod or if you plan to be without your Apple Ipod for any kind of extended period, you should only store it at half charge. If you store your Ipod at full charge, it will lose about 20% of power per year.
You will also need to store your Apple Ipod in a cool place during your vacation.
Lithium Ion batteries charge in two stages. During the first stage, the battery will be charged very quickly to about 80% capacity, then stage two will start, finishing off the last 20%. Stage two takes a lot longer to finish, because stage two will decrease the current while holding the voltage at a platue.
If you need to replace your Lithium...
