Abstract
Great effort is being made to pack more energy into a battery. Long run-time and small size are the virtues sought for today´s portable devices. But without a system to continuously weed out batteries beyond recovery, the benefit of expensive, ultrahigh capacity batteries is defeated. This paper examines battery fleet maintenance and methods to prolong battery life. The choice of battery analyser is discussed
