The Power of Electric Vehicles: THE VARTA AGM xEV Battery Electric and Hybrid Electric Vehicles are becoming more popular every year. Since most of them are still reliant on a 12V battery, it brings new challenges depending on the specific type of propulsion. Electric vehicles (EVs) are classified by their degree of electric powering. Next to the regular Internal combustion engine (ICE) there are three essential electrified types: Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), Plug-In Hybrid-Electric Vehicle (PHEV) and Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV). We at VARTA have a name that covers them all: xEV.

Varta Battery Fitting Instruction Exclusive to Omnipart Customers

The importance of 12V batteries in EV 12V batteries remain as an essential part of any car – even electric vehicles. They are needed to start the EV, support low voltage power needs while driving and in case of an emergency or failure of the high voltage battery. They serve as a second power source to ensure an uninterrupted operation of safety-critical systems such as ABS and ESP even when the high voltage battery is compromised. They are also needed to activate the high voltage drivetrain and support all electric consumers that require power when the ignition is off, such as the central locking system, anti-theft systems and over-the-air-updates.

With the increased complexity of battery replacement on newer vehicles and especially Start-Stop models, we have worked closely with VARTA to provide a step-by-step guide. For Start-Stop batteries fitment can be tricky and the location of these batteries are not always easy to find. Take the Range Rover Velar; the battery is stowed away in the boot. These guides aim to take away the complexity of fitment, and saving our customers time.
