Huge congratulations to Jose Toledo and Stephen Blacksmith on their June anniversaries!

We're recognizing Jose for 25 years and Stephen for 10 years. Your contributions have made a real impact on our team and our mission. Thank you for your hard work, collaboration, and commitment to excellence. Here's to many more great moments ahead together!

ADAS calibration on an electric vehicle introduces a layer of high-voltage risk that doesn't exist on conventional vehicles. That risk doesn't disappear just because the work is on a camera, radar sensor, or windshield. The high-voltage system is still there, it may still be active, and the cabling runs closer to those components than most technicians expect. Treating ADAS work on an EV as purely electronic work without accounting for what's underneath is exactly how shops end up with safety incidents nobody saw coming. The solution isn't complex. It's about building pre-work verification into your standard process so the checks happen every time.

Battery comebacks don't just waste a tech-hour. They cost a customer relationship.

Every comeback that traces back to a missed test — or an ambiguous verdict — is a Google review waiting to happen. And with today's vehicles, basic CCA testing isn't enough.

Midtronics 12V diagnostic tools give dealers a better answer at every step:

**Warranty management that holds up.** Every test produces a time-stamped result — defensible to the customer and the OEM.

**Deep diagnostics that catch what CCA misses.** Conductance Profiling™ identifies batteries with low reserve capacity before they strand your customers.

**Trust built test by test.** Proactive battery checks turn every visit into proof you're looking out for the vehicle.

**More battery business, built in.** When every car gets tested, more bad batteries get caught — without adding a single tech.

The battery bay is a profit center. Midtronics makes sure it runs like one.

Without temperature correction, a battery that sat in winter cold can appear weaker, while one exposed to summer heat can seem healthier than it is. Temperature correction brings battery test results back to a consistent baseline, separating true battery health from environmental influence. Understanding this detail can make the difference between an accurate diagnosis and a costly mistake.

Temperature correction in battery testing adjusts the result to a standard baseline so that what you’re measuring is the battery’s actual health, not a

Great to be at Interschutz 2026 in Hannover this week — one of the world’s leading trade fairs for fire services, rescue operations, and civil protection.

We stopped by the ASM Schulungen stand to meet Kemal Dzomba, whose team has integrated the Midtronics xIM-100E EV Immobilizer directly into their fire service training programmes.
Electric vehicles can appear inactive after an accident while still being capable of movement. The xIM-100E connects through the charge port and displays immobilisation status within seconds. No high-voltage contact.
No complicated setup.

Two states, no room for confusion:
🟢 Green – Vehicle immobilized
🔴 Red – Take precautions

An additional layer of protection for the professionals who need it most.

A battery test only tells part of the story if nothing is recorded. When documentation is missing, conversations rely on memory instead of proof. That gap can turn into lost trust, disputes, and missed opportunities. Complete documentation turns a routine test into something that protects the shop and strengthens every recommendation.

Battery testing without documentation is an incomplete service, and in some situations it’s no service at all. A test result that lives only in a

A depleted hybrid battery shouldn't mean a scrapped battery.
When hybrid batteries drop to a low SOC, they cannot turn over the engine to start the vehicle. But you can’t just use a regular jump start on these high-voltage packs. You need a high voltage rescue charger. By rescue charging, you save thousands in part cost, hours in service time and reduce scrapped batteries sent to the recycler.
The xRC-3363 enables that high-voltage jumpstart.
It delivers up to 336V at 3A directly to the high-voltage battery — enough to get the ICE started — and save the HV pack. Compatible with both lithium-ion and NiMH batteries across a wide range of HEV platforms. Certified to CE, RoHS, FCC, and UL standards. Field-tested with major HEV manufacturers.

A faster, environmentally friendly path from dead hybrid to running vehicle at a cost savings.

A customer arrives with a battery purchased elsewhere and a concern that needs answers. The response defines the experience.
Objective testing and clear communication keep the focus on what the vehicle actually needs. Handled well, this moment can build trust and turn a one-time visit into a lasting customer relationship.

When a customer brings in a battery concern and the battery didn’t come from your shop, the right move is to test it, print the result, and advise them

This Memorial Day, we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

Their courage, dedication, and sacrifice will never be forgotten. From all of us at Midtronics, we extend our gratitude to those who served and to the families who continue to carry their legacy.

Wishing everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.

"Good Battery" on an ICE Diagnostic Doesn't Mean "Good Battery" in an EV.

In an ICE vehicle, the 12V battery cranks the engine. In an EV, it powers ABS, stability control, collision mitigation, power steering, emergency SOS — and engages the HV battery pack.

Traditional diagnostics test for engine-cranking health. EVs don't need that. They need SafetyPower™ Capacity — the ability to support the vehicle's critical low-voltage systems.
A battery can pass a cranking test but still fail to support the large amount of low-voltage draws in modern EVs.

SafetyPower™ Diagnostics was built for what EVs actually demand. Fast, accurate, purpose-built — available as a software enhancement to the DCA-8000.

Maintenance is changing. Batteries are more critical than ever.
