Transcript – Job Tip: Label your Batteries

Hi, I’m Robert Waschneck, Local Union 124 in Kansas City. A common problem you might run into on the job site is keeping track of all the different batteries, of which ones are charged and which are depleted.

So, a simple solution to that might be to come up with a simple numbering system, some sticky tags you can put numbers on or use the phase tape you have available on the job site and do a different color code on the different batteries. Now that might help you keep track of what’s been charged or depleted.

A secondary solution might be if you have a bad cell with a bad charge or bad battery, now you’ve got a number and you know to take that one out of service. I hope this tip helps you on your job site save you some time and aggravation.
