For any job in the workshop to be successful, effective problem identification is the first priority

However, CTEK says that many might not be aware that to achieve the highest quality scan, consistent battery support is essential.
CTEK Regional Manager for APAC, Paul Oddy, says he has seen the pitfalls of inadequate diagnostic troubleshooting setups in workshops nationwide with precision, time efficiency and above all, safety, all put at risk with poor performing battery management solutions during this critical part of any workshop job.
Paul explains that the knowledge about battery support is increasing but at the same time, many workshops are still unaware of its importance.
“As our vehicles are technically advancing, the need for battery support increases,” Paul said.
“Fundamentally, when vehicle voltage levels fall below normal levels during a diagnostic reading, the accuracy of the results delivered should be questioned.
“With unclear data on hand, you reduce your chances of successfully rectifying the customer’s issue, risk damage to the vehicle’s electricals and add unnecessary time, complexity, and cost to each job.”
Reliable battery management products that can deliver a consistent 60A power supply and 12V battery support voltage are critical in ensuring those issues can be avoided, says CTEK.
Furthermore, products that allow selectable output voltages ensure that a manufacturers’ minimum service specifications can be adhered to within the nearest 0.1V.
“Having complete control over the system ensures the technician can remove any variables that could impact the result,” Paul said.
“In addition to that, CTEK has been able to manage sudden power spikes with products such as our PRO60, minimising the influence of the external influences that are impossible for us to ever fully control, but could cause mischief at the wrong moment.
“As workshop owners, great customer service remains the leading importance in the success of the business, so an initial diagnostic check should be the starting point for all work.
“We’ve seen significant uptake for the PRO60, thanks to its advanced fanless cooling system eliminating derating, reverse polarity protection bringing added safety, its complexity-reducing eight-step ‘auto adaptive’ charging process and ability to operate with all types of 12V lead-acid and Lithium LiFePO4 battery chemistries.
“With fatigue, environmental factors and the quirks of particular vehicles often leading to errors in this crucial process, workshop owners are able to reduce lost time and cost through installing state-of-the-art battery charging systems that ensure every diagnostic check is accurate.”
