Power Up Battery Brochure ROI 2021

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.
