Battery Testers Education and Training

Learn to use the types of battery testers you need on the job

A battery load tester measures the power left in a battery. A UPS battery tester can be used for small and large batteries, up to batteries for heavy duty industrial vehicles. A battery tester with adjustable settings is recommended, but you can also purchase battery testers that output a simple pass/fail reading.

To choose the right type of battery load testers for the right situation, refer to manufacturer recommendations. A battery charger tester with manual adjustments may look difficult to use, but you can learn how to adjust these settings to get the proper reading. For battery testers education and training, look for opportunities like:

1. Online training to learn about testers.

2. Seminars that teach procedures for an UPS, 12v, or AA battery tester.

3. Classroom training for learning the basics of a battery tester.

 

Find online courses to learn UPS battery testing techniques

There are many online courses that can teach you how to use UPS and other types of battery testers. Courses often focus on testing a specific type of battery, such as industrial batteries or automotive batteries. Courses also provide training how to use simple and advanced battery testers.
Try: Alber provides many training opportunities to learn more about battery testers, including online training modules, classes and seminars. Kevin Sullivan's Autoshop101 provides online training classes that can guide you through using car battery testers.

Attend classroom training for battery conductance tester training

You can also attend classroom training to learn battery testing. This is helpful for many who already know how to use simple battery testers and want to move on to more advanced technologies. Classroom training provides hands-on experience and often continuing education credits as well.
Try: The AVO Training Institute offers a two-day course on batteries maintenance and testing. This course is designed for those who already have a background in electricity or battery systems. IDC Technologies provides a course on UPS battery systems that is available both on-site and online.

Train to use a battery load tester at a seminar

Many manufacturers hold seminars to teach people how to use their battery testers. Some seminars are held online, while others are presented in person to those who attend industry events. Both types of seminars teach attendees how to use a specific type of battery tester and troubleshoot issues.
Try: Battery Power, Products & Technology Magazine offers webinars and other types of training courses for the battery industry. Classes cover topics like best practices, technologies and equipment training. Battcon, a battery industry trade show, provides three seminars where you can learn more about batteries and technologies used to create and test battery power.
