Make your batteries last

Heat, storage, and charging habits that decide whether a pack lasts two years or five.

From the bench at JC Tools, San Jose ·

Heat is the enemy

A pack left on a dashboard in July ages faster than one that's been used all day. Let a hot pack cool before charging, and keep spares out of the sun.

Don't store them empty

Store packs partly charged, not flat. A pack that sits empty for a season may not come back.

Test before you replace

Half the dead packs we see are fine; the charger failed. Bring both and we'll test them at the counter.
