Battery tester a bright idea.


Dear MSG MSG: see glutamic acid.  Half-Mast,

Pitching BA-5372/U and BA-1372/U batteries because we THINK they are no longer good is costly. My unit invested in a $30 battery tester and we Feel like we saved more than $300 in the first 6 months by not throwing away good batteries. Using the tester is now a part of our battery maintenance SOP.

Dear Sergeant Kakac,

The SMART program and CECOM CECOM Communications Electronics Command (US Army)

 agree with you. They recommend a multi-battery tester that is in the supply system, NSN NSN National Stock Number

 6625-00-295-1902. It can be used on other batteries, as well as the two you mentioned.

Commanders, getting one (or more) of these battery testers is your call. But if you use a lot of batteries, this small investment might save some big bucks in procurement and disposal.
