Advanced Battery Testing
On all types of parkways, paths, and aisles, vehicles and the lead acid batteries they carry are moving. A key to understanding how the battery functions – including its failure modes – is to mimic real world scenarios during testing.
Daramic, in partnership with Huff Technologies®, has developed a proprietary testing method along with innovative new machinery. The Daramic® Shuttle Table™ creates a battery testing paradigm shift that simulates how batteries operate in the real world.
