STARLINE BATTERIES OUR START STOP BATTERY RANGE EXPLAINED AGM Technology

Longer service life

Improved starting performance

Leak proof

Excellent charge acceptance

Greater deep cycle resistance

Maintenance free

AGM is the leading technology on 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

Longer service life

Improved starting performance

Leak proof

Outstanding charge acceptance

Greater deep cycle resistance

Maintenance free

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.

WHY WAIT TILL WINTER TO GET ENGAGED WITH BATTERIES? Make sure you are testing every vehicle that enters the workshop.

Testing batteries is a huge profit opportunity. It should take no more than ten minutes to check a car battery if you’re equipped with the right battery tester. Doing a battery health check will alert you to any underlying battery faults before they become an issue, in turn helping you to build customer confidence because they’ll know where to come back to next time. The stats speak for themselves and an opportunity for your garage could be just round the corner:

■ One in three vehicles entering a workshop could require a new battery

■ Three out of four customers will purchase and replace a battery the same day if the test accurately shows a weak/bad battery

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