Army Man I is about DC basic power
Army Man II is about AC power and higher voltages
Army Man III is about computer systems in today’s automobiles

This two part series was a live class in the spring of 2020. You will learn about NiMH and Li-ion packs and what, if anything, you can do to fix a pack as opposed to replacement. We discuss the RMD world, equipment, safety and much more. DO NOT attempt to do any hands-on work with the proper safety PPE and a hands-on class. This training is ONLY for experienced High Voltage technicians.

“L3 Webinar Test Prep Part 1” (TAR0L3)

“L3 Webinar Test Prep Part 2” (TAR0L4)

ASE has a hybrid certification exam called the L3. ACDC has been at every ASE test writing session and the previous events that ASE sponsored years ago.  ACDC has a 90 page full color Preparation Guide and web based support materials. Craig Van Batenburg (CEO, ASE Master and L1 Certified) took the L3 test the first day it was offered (January 2, 2015) and feels strongly that the ACDC L3 materials will be a huge advantage.  Here is what you get for $150 plus $16 for Shipping and Handling (48 states).

  • ACDC L3 Prep Book (90 pages, full color)
  • ASE style practice test questions
  • Two 1-hour recorded Webinars done live
