Synergy

The Battery Replacement Programme

Simplifying battery replacement for our partnersWe are investing in the success of your workshop, helping you to grow and to prosper. That is why we have developed

Synergy, a new programme from Exide Technologies that simplifies battery replacement, reduces labour costs, and

helps make your business more profitable.

Through our OE experience, we see firsthand that batteries are becoming more advanced

than ever before. This is a positive development for all of us, but it has introduced

technological changes that are causing some confusion in the market today.

Exide has responded to this confusion and developed a new programme to free our

partners from the increased costs and barriers associated with battery replacement.

Read on to discover the steps we have taken to make everything easier and more

efficient for your business.

Preparing your workshop for the futureSynergy is Exide’s new programme that helps you overcome the complexity of replacing batteries in the latest cars

today. Synergy also positions your business for tomorrow’s inevitable battery developments.

In modern cars, the battery is much more central to the vehicle’s

electrical management system. You can no longer just remove a

battery and replace it with another.

You need to consider the impact on the ECU settings of the

vehicle, and the possible warning message that may show on

the dashboard. You also need to consider the possible underlying

effects on the technology that ties the battery to the car, such as

start-stop power train platforms.

Exide has found a way to assist with these issues and get

your workshop ready for the future.

Some diagnostic equipment has been unable to reliably manage

the relationship between the car and battery, and this has brought

unnecessary labour costs to your business.

To help improve this situation, Exide met with many of the

diagnostic equipment providers and shared the views of our

customers.

To respond to the needs of Exide’s resellers and the broader

aftermarket, many of the diagnostic equipment providers will be

working on software updates to allow workshops to manage and

fit batteries more effectively. This lets you save money and get

the most from your existing equipment.

To find out if you will be receiving an update, contact your

diagnostic equipment provider for more information.

Most workshops already have diagnostic equipment

(approximately 90%), and most will receive a software update that

will allow them to replace batteries using their existing equipment.

For workshops that do not currently have diagnostic equipment

(approximately 10%), we have developed a battery replacement

tool that helps address many of the challenges you face – and it

costs just a fraction of what you pay for the traditional options

available on the market.

Synergy

Exide’s Synergy programme aims to resolve battery replacement problems for

workshops with or without diagnostic equipment. It allows you to spend your

time and money more effectively, and to focus on growing your business. We

were pleased to learn that many of the diagnostic equipment providers plan to

update their software, and help you prepare for the future.

90% of the market

Most workshops already own diagnostic

equipment, and most of them will be able to replace and

manage batteries with the equipment they already own.

If you own diagnostic equipment that cannot yet replace

batteries, at a future point you will likely receive a software

update that will give you the functionality you need.

Workshops without diagnostic equipment can replace

batteries with Exide’s new BRT-12 battery replacement tool.

It lets you service batteries on modern cars, capture more

market share, and protect your position in an increasingly

competitive environment.

The BRT-12 battery replacement tool also costs significantly

less than anything else on the market.

The facts about battery replacementThere is a lot of confusion around battery replacement in modern automotive platforms. Here is an overview of the

challenges you could face, and how you can resolve them for your customers.

Codes not always needed

Some manufacturers require battery codes to be inputted into

the ECU when the battery is changed. In many cases, you can

simply enter a random number and it will still work most of

the time. Exide’s new BRT-12 battery replacement tool comes

preloaded with many of the required codes, and in most cases it

can also retrieve the last code that was entered.

Error message on the dashboard

When we work on the car, very often error messages will be

displayed on the dashboard. In the case of batteries, an error

message will show on the dashboard when the battery needs to

be replaced.

After the battery is replaced, the error message may

remain on the dashboard until the system is aware that the change

has occurred. You can update the system using battery-ready

diagnostic equipment, or the Exide BRT-12, and the message

should disappear.

Exide has developed a programme that helps workshops save

money and get the most from their existing technology.

We have developed two solutions, each targeted to your business

and the investments you have already made.

Workshops with diagnostic equipment

If you already own diagnostic equipment, you will likely receive

a future software update that will allow you to replace batteries

without the need for additional equipment.

Exide wanted to protect your existing investment, and that is

why we were determined to find a solution that worked with

your existing diagnostic equipment – without exposing you to

additional costs.

Workshops without diagnostic equipment

Workshops without diagnostic equipment can get the

BRT-12, the battery replacement tool from Exide Technologies. It

gives you the capabilities you need at a price you can afford.

SynergyWorkshops with diagnostic equipmentYou will likely receive a software update for your existing diagnostic equipment from your equipment provider,

allowing you to replace and manage batteries. Now you can reduce the time spent on servicing batteries, and protect

your existing investment in diagnostic equipment.

Some diagnostic equipment has been unable to replace batteries

properly on some of the new technology platforms. To address this

issue, Exide met with many of the diagnostic equipment providers

and explained why our customers needed new functionality to

manage and replace batteries.

Many of the equipment providers have said they are planning to

release a software update to give you the functionality you need,

which should make battery replacement much easier.

The car battery has become increasingly important.

With the introduction of start-stop and regenerative breaking

systems, batteries are now more closely tied to the overall

architecture of the car. This is why batteries need to be controlled

centrally within the vehicle, and it is why you need new

functionality in your existing diagnostic equipment.

As more new cars come on the road, you will become increasingly

reliant on technology to replace and manage batteries.

Your existing diagnostic equipment will likely be updated to

handle this requirement, allowing you to avoid making any costly

investment in new hardware.

Contact your existing diagnostic equipment provider and find

out if you will be receiving an update. Once it is installed, battery

replacement will get much easier and more efficient.
