Power
as energy is a finite resource. As far as South East Asia is concerned
alternate energy sources like wind, solar, bio-gas power generation has not
been a focus in governments that are coming out of recession. The case of
Indonesia is a telling example; from a net exporter in the halcyon days of the
1970s Indonesia today is a big importer of fossil fuel to power its automobiles
and industries. Homes and industries have resorted to battery power in the form
of inverters and UPS systems to power their needs of lighting and charging
devices.
Battery
technology is witnessing innovation in the measurement and testing sphere. Battery
tester digital technology is at the forefront for two reasons; one it is very
affordable; and second the accuracy of measurement has
prolonged battery life. Batteries are expensive and it is important that
monitoring the status of the battery gives it a long life and justifies the
expense. A good digital battery tester will also work as a calibrator so that
optimum efficiency of a battery can be put to use. It is tweaking the battery
by monitoring the state of health of the battery; the analogy is akin to the
human body; timely monitoring and being aware keeps the human body functioning
efficiently and for a long time.
All
batteries have battery cycle; it is directly proportional to the
charge-discharge cycles. This is a finite number. So is overcharging and
undercharging. These factors are easy to monitor and keep the battery at its
optimum working efficiency.
