What is Conductance Profiling™

Today’s batteries must stand up to more demand on their resources than ever before. Batteries are expected to support every vehicle option – from power windows and seats, to heated steering wheels, to DVD and MP3 players—and still start the car. Plus, in start‑stop vehicles, they’re required to start the car a lot more often.

  • Conductance Profiling™ analyzes the battery’s reserve capacity capability
  • Combined with our industry proven conductance technology and proprietary algorithms, Conductance Profiling allows Midtronics tools such as the DSS-5000, the CPX-900 and the DCA-8000 to determine the battery’s ability to support the vehicle’s auxiliary power requirements, generating a low Reserve Capacity warning when the battery’s RC degradation may affect overall vehicle performance

Conductance Profiling benefits customers by:

  • Detecting batteries with low reserve capacity which, while may start the vehicle, may leave a customer stranded when doors are left open, lights left on, or other vehicle loads drain the battery
  • Spending less time waiting for bad batteries to be charged
