Yuasa delivers ’empowering’ battery tech issues training to aftermarket distributor
Yuasa has been training an automotive distributer about best practice when checking and fitting batteries.

GS Yuasa, the global producer of automotive batteries, has delivered training to an aftermarket supplier about the ‘critical’ issues currently facing the industry, including the impact of emissions reduction on battery tech and how technicians can reduce technical issues.

Distributor Fyfes Vehicle and Engineering Supplies Ltd’s branch managers and wider staff successfully took part in a GS Yuasa training afternoon.

The training was carried out by GS Yuasa training manager Ian Newham and covered a number of critical issues surrounding batteries and future technologies.

Emissions reduction affects battery tech

The presentation began with the impact of emissions reduction and how this is affecting battery technology, before it moved on to technology and terminology, “empowering” the distributor to enhance their understanding of the technologies, how to deal with technical issues and reduce warranty issues, such as through incorrect application choices.

Choosing the correct battery application

The company also gained insight into Yuasa’s “Always Check The Battery” scheme, which enables workshops to routinely test a vehicle’s battery every time it goes in for service or repair work.

The Yuasa Battery Check covers three key criteria including specification, battery state of charge and battery state of health, while also offering useful tips such as why batteries fail.

Tony Fyfe, Fyfes managing director, said: “It’s important that our team are fully aware of the emerging technologies and how to communicate these to customers.

“We stock the widest range of batteries across our branch network so it’s essential customers have access to the right battery first time for a specific application.”
