Batteries

What’s behind todays door?

A December to Remember Every day we will have a new offer you won’t want to miss including the big three; tools, consumables and oils. Plus,we know everyone loves a treat or two as well so look out for our offers on mince pies, chocolate and other sweet treats.

With the winter looming the cold mornings and evenings are here and that can mean only one thing. A big increase in failing batteries. Over the coming winter months, the demand will peak and this provides a huge opportunity for you. As with everything, technology advances at a rapid rate and the humble vehicle battery hasn’t escaped that. Vehicles have become increasingly power hungry. They are packed full of tech and the battery must be in tip top condition to meet the needs of the vehicle tech otherwise it will fail. Batteries have changed, vehicles have changed, and we want to raise awareness around the importance of testing every vehicle that enters a workshop. Working closely with our battery suppliers we’ve put together a series of information pieces that covers everything you need to know about batteries and the changing technology, the importance of health checks and equipment you’ll need. Talk to your local branch to get your pack.

Whena tester isused thatdoesn’thavea separate search forbattery typeAGMandEFB it basicallypasses itas “good”because thealgorithm in the tester is incapableof reading the differentbattery technologyof stop startvehicles. It then tests thebatterywithin itsownpre-set parameters for standardbatteries.

There is ONLY0.8V differencebetween test resultsbeing Green and Red . That’s LESS thanaAAAbattery (1.5V).Despiteonlya smalldifference in voltage, there isa HUGE difference inbatteryperformance. Battery in GOOD condition Battery requires ATTENTION Battery in POOR condition, requires replacement
