Has anyone in this Fleet ever heard of Battery Maintenance. GOOD GOD. How many buses a day do I see with missing battery caps, no battery hold downs, corrosion all over, over flowing, underfilled, loosely connected batteries !!??
This is basic stuff, easy stuff, quick stuff. A battery needs a hold down. That ruins batteries when they aren't held down firmly.
How much money this company WASTES on batteries I would hate to see. Poor battery maintenance also over-works the charging system, shortening the life of it's components. Battery Maintenance is one of the most basic of all mechanical fundamentals. We need to get more attention on the basics.
P.S. Sometimes, batteries can be charged !! Holy Cow.
