Repair batteries for optimum life

20 June 2022

It’s obviously important to ensure that the battery packs used to power electrical equipment are kept in optimum condition, but if individual cells become faulty or damaged then performance will be affected. 

Autocraft Solutions Group specialises in the repair, manufacture and assembly of battery packs that are principally used in the automotive industry. It has now developed Mobile EV Battery Service Centres, housed in transportable containers so that fault-finding and remediation work can be undertaken at a customer’s site. 

Lindsay Hague-Morgan, the group’s marketing manager, tells me that technicians can analyse individual cells and replace faulty ones. If a battery cannot be repaired, it can be sent to re-use partners for use in non-automotive applications such as solar panel systems. 

In this way, the useful life of the batteries can be maximised and, when the time comes, they can be re-used or recycled in an environmentally friendly manner.
