33 > continued from page 30 FOCUS Batteries Sharing the knowledge Gone are the days when changing a car’s battery took as long as a kettle to boil, and as no cars are the same, technicians need to know what they’re doing come batterychange time. Sometimes even finding a battery is hard enough, but replacing AGM types requires a thorough understanding of the work involved. “While in the past it was possible to simply disconnect the terminals and replace the battery, perhaps only with the precaution of ensuring a supply charge was present, the latest vehicles present a far greater challenge. Uninformed battery disconnection is likely to cause a loss of the settings and the memory functions of the vehicle’s electronic parts and the new battery could well need to be registered, or the direct shift gearbox have to be reset to its factory settings, in order for the vehicle to start or to placate the warning lights on the dashboard,” says Shaun Greasley, commercial director of TecAlliance UK and Ireland. “The whole process is also far more labour intensive and sometimes even requires information as to where the battery is located, as they are often no longer housed within the engine bay. It is therefore vital that workshops know the repair time in advance so they can accurately quote for the job. Super Hero tie-in gives Mutlu a boost Mutlu has joined forces with Warner Bros. to use DC Super Heroes of Justice League in its new marketing campaign. “The Justice League characters will be used creatively in a variety of innovative compositions that will both raise awareness of the Mutlu Battery brand and its comprehensive range of original equipment (OE) quality batteries, which are suitable for numerous applications across multiple sectors,” Mutlu says.
