How do workshops select the right battery based on vehicle type and driving habits?
With the cold weather, the demand for battery replacement increases in garages. However, different vehicles and driving habits place different demands on the battery. So how do garages find the right battery for their customers?
Battery replacement procedures are becoming increasingly complex and time-consuming in modern vehicles and can take up to one and a half hours of working time, depending on the model. A proper replacement battery of original equipment quality is essential here.
At the beginning: Finding out which battery is the right one. Help is at hand at fit.yuasa.com, the most powerful online battery search in Europe with an extensive European database. It enables users to find the right battery quickly and easily, including detailed installation information. To search by country, simply enter the vehicle registration number or VIN number or perform a make/model search – and the system will provide a wealth of information, including technical data, detailed installation instructions, battery location, estimated installation time and much more.
Modern vehicles: For vehicles with emission reduction technology such as start-stop, it is important to replace the battery with one of the same specification, e.g. AGM start-stop battery, EFB battery, etc. Conventional battery types would cause vehicle faults here, including start-stop system loss. On modern vehicles with Battery Management System (BMS), this must be reset via the Onboard Diagnostic Port (OBD) to tell the vehicle when to replace the battery and avoid problems such as battery failure or system faults. The user-friendly Yu-Fit battery configurator from GS YUASA makes it convenient and easy to reprogram the BMS unit.
Standard vehicles: For vehicles with standard ignition, the selection of the battery should also be based not only on the technical data, but also on the driving behaviour and use of the vehicle. To do this, ask the customer exactly how long and how often the vehicle is driven, as well as the annual running performance.
For example, since the battery cannot be fully charged for short and infrequent journeys of less than 20 minutes and this can lead to damage, performance and service life can be optimised here by installing a battery with higher specifications. This reduces the likelihood of premature failure.
