Battery season will present a huge opportunity for your workshop this winter With cars on your ramps, use this as an opportunity to test every battery that enters your workshop. Not every car will need a battery replaced, but the statistics show though that it could be as high as 1 in 3 vehicles. By testing, you’ve created another benefit for the customer and your workshop. Present your findings good or bad, if it’s good news, it’s a customer service win. If it’s not, it means that the customer has the choice to replace or decline, with 3 out of 4 customers usually taking up the offer of replacement. Checking should take no more than 10 minutes with a standard lead acid battery. Test every vehicle that comes into the workshop Cold weather means one thing for batteries – Problems. But not just batteries other products also fail with the cold weather. Think of it as an opportunity when these other products fail to give your customers a battery health check, chances are that 1 out of 3 vehicles that enter the workshop will have a problem. Maximise your customer service and revenue streams this winter.

3 out of 4 customers will purchase and replace a battery the same day if the test accurately shows a weak or bad battery

Checking a standard Lead Acid battery in the workshop should take no more than 10 minutes

Every 1/3 vehicle entering the workshop

40% of national breakdowns occur from a direct result of battery failure

could require a new battery

Like For Like

■ When replacing an old battery, it is important to replace with like-for-like or like-for-better technologies, and not to fit a conventional battery to a vehicle with a start/stop system (the vehicle won’t function properly for very long!).

■ The type of vehicle and the amount of electrical power needed to supply the starting functions

■ Fitting the correct battery technology type first time will keep your customers happy and on the road, helping you avoid costly repeat repair work.

and electrical consumers determines whether an AGM, EFB or Conventional will be required.

The latest ADAC roadside assistance statistics show, nearly 42% of all car breakdowns are caused by a failing battery. Common causes of these failures can be due to the natural rise or decrease in temperatures meaning most drivers now turn the air conditioning on at the highest setting, creating a surge of electricity being used. As well as this, the modern person relies on GPS devices, mobile phone chargers and large colour display screens when using their vehicles that all put a massive strain on batteries. For example, when vehicles are in traffic jams the engine is not producing much power, meaning the alternator can no longer meet the demand for electrical energy.

Don’t forget the Start Stop revolution

By 2025 over 80% of vehicles produced will have Start Stop technology, these modernising vehicles need modernised batteries to offset the increased demand for electricity available in the vehicle. Experts have created Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) and Enhanced Flooded Batteries (EFB), designed to outperform traditional flooded batteries which no longer provide the output needed especially for the Start Stop function. In short, the main factors

affecting battery life are: ■ Extreme Temperatures ■ Irregular Use

■ Short Trips ■ Older Vehicles

For these types of batteries, you’ll need a specific tester, to get the right readings. At LKQ Euro Car Parts we have the right testers available that can do both Lead Acid and Start Stop, these machines provide a print out of the readings, so you can show your customer.
