GEAR UP FOR THE BATTERY BLITZ

Sealed Performance Batteries asks: is your workshop Winter ready?

We are still a few months from Winter, but when the mercury starts to drop, workshops nationwide brace for the inevitable surge of flat battery woes.
But the real story isn’t just about the cold. It is about the Summer’s silent sabotage.
Scorching temperatures can accelerate chemical reactions and interfere with the vehicle’s charging system, leading to damaging sulfation or over-charging.
Come Winter, that weakened battery faces the Herculean task of starting a cold engine.
Sealed Performance Batteries (SPB), a leader in battery solutions, says you should consider if you are prepared to capitalise on this peak season, stating the key lies in proactive battery diagnostics.
SPB explains that first, you should use a reliable tester to implement a service lane battery testing protocol.
This isn’t just about spotting dead batteries; it is about identifying the weak links before they snap, preventing customer breakdowns and unlocking revenue potential.
“SPB empowers partners with state-of-the-art battery testers. Imagine providing customers with a detailed battery health report, offering reassurance and expert advice – a service that builds trust and loyalty,” SPB Marketing Manager, Callen Price, said.
Beyond testing, equipping your workshop with premium replacement batteries is paramount.
“Energizer Automotive batteries, renowned for their performance and reliability, are engineered to meet the demands of modern vehicles,” Callen explains.
“By offering a globally recognised brand like Energizer Automotive, you instil confidence in your customers, knowing they have a reliable and trusted product in their vehicle.
“Energizer’s extensive range ensures you’ll have the perfect fit for every vehicle that enters your workshop, and when your customers leave, they leave happy.”
Building a reputation for reliability is the cornerstone of a successful workshop.
“Stocking and fitting quality batteries translates to repeat business and powerful word-of-mouth referrals,” Callen said.
“Customers remember the workshops that keep them moving, and they will be grateful knowing they will not be stuck in a carpark in two weeks’ time.”
To truly excel during the battery season, SPB recommends you prioritise:
• Proactive diagnostics: implement comprehensive battery testing for every vehicle.
• Premium replacements: stock and fit trusted brands like Energizer Automotive.
• Strategic partnerships: leverage programs that provide cutting-edge tools and support.
By adopting these strategies, SPB says your workshop can navigate the battery season with confidence, ensuring customer satisfaction and maximising profitability.
“Don’t just react to the battery rush; anticipate it, and turn it into a season of success,” Callen said.
“Need reliable energy storage solutions? We are an Australian-owned company with over 25 years of experience and we are ready to help.
“With branches across Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth and a nationwide network of resellers, expert advice is just a call or email away.”
