Battery life can be frustrating with consumer devices, but healthy, long-lasting #batteries are mission-critical for enterprise devices and all-day computing, scanning, and printing. This week on the #TEConnectPodcast, Global Technology Systems, Inc.'s Rob Cass and Danny Rockett explain how and why batteries go bad and how VARs can make them part of their recurring revenue strategy. 🔎 🔋 “We look at batteries differently than most,” says Rob. Most people only think about batteries when needed, but the full cradle-to-grave lifecycle is important. He emphasizes forecasting to communicate needs long before a dead battery needs to be replaced. ⚡ What causes batteries to degrade and fail? “It all depends,” Danny says with a smile. Usage factors, environment, application—all have an impact. Batteries also age even when not in use and can age faster if sitting on a charger. ⁉ Dean calls out the potential dangers of “off-brand” or unknown batteries, which may not be compatible or have suspect manufacturing. Danny explains the idea of “rapid disassembly,” a term for a battery cell that is “not behaving properly” or has been sitting for too long. 🤑 Batteries can be a great source of recurring revenue for customers who have been holding on to their devices longer than ever. GTS offers a long list of legacy device batteries to meet those needs. 🤝 According to Danny, new batteries should be considered for replacement in 18 months to 2 years in a high-end usage situation. Be proactive rather than reactive to keep your customers’ devices running smoothly. “A battery conversation is a good conversation,” Dean encourages. Danny agrees, saying that most companies don’t have a battery management or maintenance process, potentially holding on to old or unused batteries until they become a safety issue. 💡 “At least do something. Don’t keep them around because then they become a liability.” Katie Sewall Allison Becker
