According to GS Yuasa Battery Sales UK’s Marketing and Product Manager, James Douglas, using general battery lookup systems to find replacement vehicle batteries poses a particular risk. Here, he refers the industry to the company’s very own lookup tool.
Battery replacement is no longer a simple task. Fitting the wrong one to a vehicle can lead to damaging consequences, usually resulting in breakdown and a very short battery service life.
Modern day vehicles are increasingly complex. Most new models use next generation start-stop technology and are produced with a vast array of specification options. Many will have additional auxiliary batteries to accompany the main starter unit. Although there are many different lookup systems accessible to workshops, most cannot account for these multiple variables.
First launched in 2012, Yuasa’s trade battery lookup website is the original and most comprehensive solution available. It takes all of the aforementioned factors into account. It is for this reason that it is the most accurate, trusted and well used system in the industry.
When searching on most other battery lookup systems, the results can show multiple and dissimilar choices for a vehicle. Users can be presented with an array of different specifications with no obvious correct suggestion, causing uncertainty. These confusing results may lead to doubt and incorrect batteries being fitted, resulting in complications and premature failure.
With Yuasa’s online tool, users are guaranteed to find the exact battery on every occasion, helping technicians save valuable time and money, whilst boosting their own customer service and reputation.
This is primarily due to the company’s unrivalled database, which is updated daily by dedicated technicians. Furthermore, Yuasa works with garages to obtain feedback on inaccuracies in the data. This makes it the most accurate lookup tool in the industry.
Just the start…
There are many ways to find the right battery, but none are as accurate as ours. Since the tool’s launch in 2012, we’ve helped over 350,000 technicians across the country save time and money by finding over 3 million batteries.
Our online trade battery lookup tool has by far the most comprehensive database in the industry, with over 100,000 unique vehicle models listed. We urge all garages, distributors and technicians to proactively use our lookup system to prevent unnecessary battery-related failure due to the wrong battery being fitted.
Finding the right battery is just the start, though. Once correctly found, users can download detailed information, including battery location on the vehicle, accurate fitting times, and even the location of OBD (on-board diagnostics), if appropriate. This is complemented by full OE level step-by-step fitting instructions that can be printed for convenience. Garages can use the online fitting system to help with customer quotations and other enquiries.
Yuasa’s system is extremely user-friendly and ultra-fast. The system is completely free to use and can be accessed online here or simply by pushing a Yuasa USB Smart Button.
