Battery Facts
Battery Facts of Life
HOW TO MAKE IT LAST LONGEST?
KEEP YOUR BATTERY 100% CHARGED AT ALL TIMES AND NEVER ALLOW IT TO GO FLAT.
PEOPLE ARE FORGETFUL! THEY FORGET TO HOOK UP THEIR MAINTENANCE CHARGER WHEN PARKING THE BIKE. RESULT? BATTERY GOES FLAT & EVENTUALLY DIES.
WHY?
AS A BATTERY DISCHARGES THE ACID SEPARATES INTO WATER & SULFATES. WATER FREEZES & EXPANDS & COULD BUCKLE THE PLATES OR EVEN CRACK THE CASING.
SULFATES ARE ATTRACTED TO LEAD. THE LONGER YOU LEAVE IT THE GREATER THE BUILD-UP OF SULFATION ON THE PLATES UNTIL THE BATTERY CANNOT ACCEPT NORMAL CHARGE.
SOME ORDINARY SMARTCHARGERS NOW ‘PRETEND’ TO ‘ELIMINATE’ SULFATION. THEY RELY ON YOU TO KEEP THE CHARGER HOOKED UP! FACT IS: THEY CANNOT ‘REVERSE’ SULFATION!
THE ONLY CHARGER WITH 22V RECOVERY VOLTAGE (AS RECOMMENDED BY YUASA) THAT CAN REVERSE SULFATION BUILDUP IN A ‘GOOD’ BATTERY (NO MECHANICAL DAMAGE) AND GET IT TO ACCEPT CHARGE AGAIN IS OPTIMATE.

By far the best charger we have in the shop. Was amazed at two lipo battery's that were both bellow 0.5v and both were able to be reset and charged and now working as new in their respective bikes. The added bonus is the power supply function for when we are flashing ecu's or running diagnostics on Ducati's we can maintain full power to the bike without the need to run slave batteries and chargers.
Perfect for our shop and diverse range of bike we have to work on.
We try for log time to find charger with Power-supply mode so we can tune can run the diagnostics with out power loss
this one is the best product ever .
We have recently purchased the IDC5 TEXA to support / Diagnose our Ducati Multistrada Enduro for personal use. We have found that Dealing with TEXA Aus easy and very helpful,
Using the TEXA and installing the TEXA was a straight forward process and the assistance that has been provided is second to none ,
The device has been able to assist in the Diagnoses of a fault that has seen the bike at the dealer for a extended period of time, this has seen the bike returned with performance issues that the owner was not happy with.
With most modern day equipment electronics are controlling the engine , we have found that the TEXA IDC5 is able to view and monitor these parameters to assist in diagnosing faults,
What we discovered is that we had no engine codes but after utilising the TEXA we were able to narrow down the fault to a sensor that was not reading correctly, this was only achieved by utilising the TEXA IDC5.
Moving forward we see our selves utilising the device on our current bikes for service interval resets and any major work that is required.
This is a tool that is a must have for a business that is dealing with modern day equipment,
Great product and fantastic after sale support

by far the single best investment I have made. Working on modern motorcycles and custom builds that we do lets us see exactly what's going on with the bikes and that there are no unseen issues.
With all modern bikes we service we always scan the bike and printout a report to attach to the invoice so the owners know they are receiving the service that we charge for and factual reports, resetting service intervals and diagnosing faults is now super easy.
We have had this for many yeas now and if we come up against a fault that we haven't seen before then a quick call to Steve and he's always been great with advice and service is excellent.
We have had the Texa IDC5 system for approximately 5 years now, allowing us to offer and perform FULL factory level servicing and Diagnostics.
Yuri Mechanical specialise in exotic brand servicing and also carry out ecu reflashing to all injected bikes including the very latest Euro5 bikes. Some of these require full system adaption & resets after bench mode programming and we can perform this confidently with the Texa system.
Moto-Tech Diagnostics not only sell the tool but are able to back it, with in-depth tech info during trading hours. This is not only reassuring but reduces downtime and losses.
Yuri Mechanical Highly recommends the Texa IDC5 to any shop wanting to stand out from the crowd. Investing in the Texa system will not only allow your business to grow but will also offer peace of mind when accepting service enquiries, no matter what the brand or model.

I had to wait 3 years from when I first wanted to buy this system until it was in my hands.
Nothing to do with supply, or cost or anything like that, I was working at a major brands dealership and no matter how much I argued that we needed it, and how good it was, they wouldn't let me buy one.
6 months ago I went out on my own, the dream of being an Independent Workshop (complete with Capitals) and the very first piece of major workshop infrastructure I bought was the TEXA diagnostic system.
After talking it through with Steve , he came down to the shop and set it up, went through everything and made sure it was running perfectly, and has answered any questions I have had very quickly, and with an immense store of knowledge. He didn't tell me I needed the most expensive option, he didn't hard sell anything, he was straight forward, outlined what he and the system could and couldn't do and helped every step of the way.
This is the single best diagnostic purchase I've ever made, and I expect to be singing its praises for years to come.
So once again,
Thanks, Steve, for making this such an easy decision
