GYS launches battery technical guide
The GYS battery technical guide is available now, click 'more details' below.

Modern vehicle electronics and the multitude of battery types add another layer of complexity when working with vehicle batteries.

GYS has long offered the right equipment to meet these requirements and has now produced a free technical guide to simplify product selection.

Keeping it simple and informative, GYS say there are five processes that you can do to a vehicle battery in the workshop; charge it, start it, support it; test it; change it.

Against each of these processes GYS sets out the technical considerations needed and the products that will correctly and safely carry out that process.

‘1, 2, 3 test’

Another key feature of the technical guide is the 1, 2, 3 test – GYS’ initiative to ensure battery maintenance is completed safely and effectively.

Whether it’s for charging, starting or battery support; GYS believe that the ideal tools must meet three simple criteria.

1. 1-2-3Safety: The equipment must be safe to use with the battery in situ, chargers must include protection to ensure that no damage can be done to the vehicle’s electronic system.

This can include overvoltage protection, polarity reversal and prevention of sparks.

2. All battery types: Equipment must have the ability to charge or work with the latest battery types, we now see new battery materials – AGM, EFB, Stop Start, Silver/Calcium – a traditional constant current charger cannot be recommended for the latest battery types.

3. Universal mode: The ability to safely charge when the battery type is not known, this is a very important ‘real world’ problem.

Technicians will have experienced the difficulty in locating and identifying the battery type in many vehicles.

GYS products offer a solution simply to connect and go, giving the assurance that the charge will be conducted safely without requiring the technician to identify the battery type.
