With colder temperatures here, battery demand is set to rise. As we all know, winter places extra strain on vehicle batteries, making this one of the busiest periods of the year for replacements.

Factor in that the average vehicle battery lasts around five years, and a large number of cars currently on UK roads are now within the replacement window – meaning increased workshop traffic and sales opportunities over the coming weeks.

To help you prepare, we’ve pulled together a list of some of the UK’s most common vehicles currently on the road, along with the GS battery references most commonly required to service them:

• Ford Fiesta – 100, 096, 027, 075 (including EFB references)
• VW Golf – 027, 096 (including EFB and AGM references)
• Ford Focus – 096, 100 (EFB)
• Vauxhall Corsa – 027, 096, 012 (including AGM references)
• Mercedes A-Class – 115 (AGM)
• Nissan Qashqai – 096 (EFB)
• Ford Kuga – 096, 110, 012 (including EFB references)
• Mini – 012, 096, 115 (including EFB and AGM references)
• VW Polo – 012 (EFB)
• Kia Sportage – 096, 115 (including AGM references)

Maintaining good availability of these key references will help you stay ahead of winter demand and minimise missed sales during peak periods.
