Ring Automotive is urging technicians to prioritise battery health checks throughout the year. While winter is often associated with battery issues, summer heat can also cause significant damage.
High temperatures can evaporate battery fluids and accelerate corrosion, leading to long-term performance problems. But this damage can persist even when the weather cools down, making it more likely for batteries to fail during winter.
Ring advises technicians to regularly test batteries to identify potential issues and take preventive measures. A battery voltage below 12.5V indicates depletion and potential damage. However, with timely charging, even depleted batteries can often be restored to full functionality.
The Ring battery analyser (RBAG950) is a valuable tool for comprehensive battery and electrical system checks in 12V and 24V vehicles. It can test batteries, alternators, starters, and vehicle earth systems.
By promoting battery testing services, workshops can increase revenue and provide customers with essential maintenance. Ring Automotive encourages technicians to prioritise battery health checks to ensure optimal vehicle performance and prevent unexpected breakdowns.
