When it comes to automotive battery replacement, and against a backdrop of it no longer being a case of one-size fits all, ensuring the correct and optimum battery by vehicle type is used is of paramount importance. Why? Because perhaps the single most significant challenge facing suppliers of automotive batteries relates to incorrect use and the fitment of the wrong battery type, particularly when it comes to start-stop applications.

So with such technology now firmly established in the aftermarket, indeed when it comes to Banner GB AGM is now the second most popular seller, this is more important than ever.

The good news is that finding the correct battery by application is not only fundamentally important, but easier than ever before. It is here that suppliers such as Banner remain keen to actively promote tools such as its online portal – www.bannerbatteryfinder.co.uk.     

Such a system is very easy to use, where garage technicians need to enter the relevant vehicle registration into a novel ‘number plate’ shaped window and the search facility does the rest. As well as displaying the relevant Banner battery for the vehicle in question, supplementary information is presented in the form of the relevant part number, capacity, power rating and Suggested Selling Price (SSP), inc VAT.

Additionally, when visiting the portal, users immediately get the opportunity to receive Banner’s monthly bulletin via a website pop-up, ensuring they receive the latest news, articles and features relating to lead-acid batteries and their ongoing significance in today’s automotive aftermarket. 

LATEST FEATURES

Switching back to the portal itself, the system incorporates a number of further features designed to make the life of those who are called on to replace car batteries as simple and straight forward as possible.

Leading the refinements is the inclusion of comprehensive information relating to a battery’s exact location on the vehicle. No longer is it simply a case of looking under the bonnet. Knowing the correct location from the outset will undoubtedly prove beneficial.

Detailed fitting instructions. Step by step, the portal is on hand to ensure that battery removal and replacement is as seamless and stress free as possible.

Battery diagnostics. Check out all aspects of best practice and what is required when it comes to the field of diagnostics.

Enhanced technical information. Full technical data is on hand in an easy-to-understand and clearly presented format.

Commenting on the Battery Finder and website pop-up, Country Manager, Lee Quinney said: “Whilst the Banner Battery Finder is widely accepted across our motor factor customer base, our aim is to promote its presence and simple functionality to a wider audience, garages in particular, whilst also giving them the opportunity to make their voices heard by engaging with Banner via its regular e-bulletin. 

“Indeed with batteries being far more vehicle specific than ever, the importance of selecting the right battery for a particular vehicle has never been more consequential. This tool makes the process fool proof, which is something you should expect from a company that stands as an OE supplier to such leading vehicle manufacturers such as Aston Martin, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Skoda and VW,” he added.
