An aging and changing car parc Every autumn and winter, car batteries fail, but are you prepared to take advantage of the extra business that you can make? Presently the average age of the car parc is aging, meaning more vehicles are falling into aftermarket, which ultimately means these will fall into the Independent Motor Trade, which will see more customers into your workshop.

Battery maintenance with VARTA 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, saving you time, and best of all not having turn work away to another garage or OES.

There are plenty of opportunities for a workshop to upsell or gain extra revenue, no more so than batteries. Batteries eventually fail – simple. Checking a customer’s battery should be part of the service you offer, if it’s working then great, you can give the customer the good news, if not then recommend the next course of action, most customers will be receptive to getting it changed.

Vehicle and battery age The average age of the vehicle car parc is aging, and the used car market is on the increase. What does that mean for the IMT, more cars that will need servicing and probably many batteries that will need replacing due to end of life.

We have been promoting for the last couple of years the importance of battery testing, but did you know what can make a battery fail and why a simple test can be preventative for your customer.

But how long should a car battery last?

In general, a vehicle will usually need a new battery after four to five years. This figure can depend on how the vehicle is driven, mileage, storage and other factors. However as the car parc ages and consumers are keeping vehicles for longer, the likelihood is that there will be more battery failures. The answer is simple, test every vehicle that enters your workshop and make sure your customer has a fit for purpose battery. Turn over and read on about how testing batteries can help you and your customers.

Weather conditions Hot and cold weather both stress a battery. In the warmer weather it can cause cells to crack, the colder weather will exaggerate these failures, meaning poor or non performance (Cranking power).

Short journeys and low mileage Both of these will put huge amounts of stress through

Battery corrosion Battery corrosion over time will affect the how the battery will maintain a charge and eventually the ability to start the vehicle. Always look for corrosion and test.

a battery, being undercharged for any period of time will affect the condition of the battery, leading to poor performance.

Are you checking every battery entering your workshop?

12 Volt power for hybrids & EVs

Testing the health of a customer’s battery is paramount to keeping their vehicle on the road. By automatically testing every vehicle you see, you’ll be taking your customer service to the ‘next level’. Whether you’re informing customers that they can rest easy that their battery is in good health, or giving them the opportunity to update their failing battery before they leave your workshop – both outcomes will have a positive impact on your workshops reputation, and increase your chances of repeat custom. If not, then you’re missing out on a huge profit opportunity…

voltage battery fails or switches off, to lock and unlock the car and also serve as an additional power supply to buffer the electrical system. They ensure that important safety functions such as ABS and ESP are working at all times. AGM and EFB batteries are far from being obsolete. Their construction and behaviour as well as their lack of electronics make them a reliable and robust power source.

the initial power source to start up the high voltage system; to ensure the uninterrupted function of safety critical systems, in case of a traction battery failure; also for key off-loads like the central locking system. Lead-acid AGM and EFB batteries have proven their reliability for years, making them the perfect choice for supporting the 12 volt electrical system on electric or hybrid electric vehicles. They step in when the high

12V Lead Acid Batteries continue to power all types of vehicles, from Conventional to Full Electric and every type of vehicle in between. There is a misconception that Electric Vehicles or Hybrid Vehicles don’t require a 12 volt lead-acid battery, but have you ever wondered what happens when the high voltage battery stops working? In addition to the high voltage traction battery you will find a second one: a 12 volt lead acid battery acting as

What do you need to think about in your workshop? More of these types of vehicles will start to appear in your workshop over time, as they fall out off service plans and warranties. Like conventional vehicles, testing the battery is probably more paramount, as the 12 volt battery will be working extra hard powering numerous infotainment units, safety elements, sensors and in car tech.

Starline has covered off the most popular sizes from 063 / 075 / 096 / 100 but there’s plenty more in the range that will take care of the more obscure sizes.

AGM Technology AGM is the leading technology in the market for the most exacting requirements. AGM batteries are engineered to cope with the excess heat created by regenerative braking and the continuous on/off action of the Stop-Start system. Importantly they power the electrics when the engine is in “sleep mode”, at traffic lights or stuck in jams. Only ever replace AGM with AGM or it will fail prematurely.

EFB Technology EFB technology satisfies requirements that lie somewhere between conventional starter batteries and AGM technology. Like AGM, EFB batteries power the electrics when the engine is in “sleep mode”. They ensure that sufficient energy is always available, even when a large number of energy consumers are operating during the stop phase. Only ever replace EFB with EFB, or it will fail prematurely.

When you think of batteries and need quality, Bosch immediately springs to mind. Partnering with one of the best battery suppliers makes perfect sense for LKQ Euro Car Parts as their ethos of quality fits perfectly with our need to deliver the best products to our customers. Bosch innovative technology makes these batteries resistant to high temperatures in the engine compartment. At the same time, acid consumption and corrosion are minimised. This translates into minimum self-discharge, extreme tolerance for short- distance driving and reliable operational safety throughout the battery’s service life. The automotive range is split into two types, Standard Lead Acid and Start-Stop (AGM and EFB) applications. Standard Lead Acid are the perfect fit for older vehicles that don’t have the same power consumption as newer models. Whereas Start-Stop will cover off new vehicles with higher power consumption and multiple electrical units that are installed in new vehicles.
