CTEK’s Training Manager answers frequently asked body shop questions 🚗🔋 💡Did you know that around 75% of vehicles stored in a workshop have a battery that needs attention? By that, we mean it needs charging, conditioning and, in certain cases, replacing. With modern vehicles relying on sophisticated and costly electronics, lead-acid batteries are being used under more challenging conditions than ever before. As a result, battery care has become a pressing issue, particularly as inadequate maintenance leads to a rapid decrease in battery life. ⚡The high-power demands of modern vehicles and the drain from devices like tracking systems and alarms mean that a battery can become flat in a matter of days, which is not ideal for body shops. 🔋To avoid the problem of a flat battery when a car is left standing in the shop, we recommend charging and conditioning the battery as soon as it arrives to bring it up to maximum capacity. Additionally, checking the battery's state of charge regularly is essential. In the following interview, Tony Zeal, SKILLBASE training manager at CTEK, will answer some of the most frequently asked battery-related questions. Just in time for Charge Your Car Day next week! ⭐ #ctek #ctekchargers #professionalworkshop #ctekcharging #supercharged #charger #innovation #tech #gadget #car #cars

Charge Your Car Day 2023: A day to celebrate and acknowledge the importance of battery charging 🚗💡🔋 On the 5th of October, it’s Charge Your Car Day! Your vehicle's battery has always been a steadfast companion; it has faithfully helped the vehicle transport you from one destination to another. Whether you're driving an internal combustion engine vehicle or an electric car, the battery plays a crucial role in powering your vehicle's functions. 🔋 Expressing gratitude for its dedicated service is best done by turning to a CTEK charger. With a CTEK charger, you can rejuvenate your battery, providing it with the energy it needs to keep you on the road for extended journeys. 💡 Regularly maintaining your 12V battery is crucial to ward off sulfation and maintain its peak performance, all while striving to prevent unexpected breakdowns. However, if you are in a breakdown situation, opting for CTEK's CS FREE adaptive booster is a smart choice over traditional jump starters. ⚡Electric and Plug-In Hybrid vehicles also rely on battery charging. The 12V auxiliary battery powers vital components such as the vehicle's lighting, radio, heating, and air conditioning. To ensure optimal performance, regular maintenance is essential. While the car's internal DC-DC system charges the 12V battery, it can often only reach a full 100% charge when connected to an external battery charger. This year, we are committed to reinforcing the motto - Get moving, Stay moving and Keep charging! ⭐ Or visit our dedicated landing page: https://www.ctek.com/charge-your-car-day #ctek #ctekchargers #chargeyourcarday #ctekcharging #supercharged

CTEK provides battery support to Mercedes Drogenbos in Belgium 🔋🚗 CTEK has a close collaboration with the Mercedes dealership in Drogenbos. By using CTEK's PRO 120 battery support unit, CTEK has significantly reduced the time it takes to perform CPU updates on the cars in the workshop, with a reduction of over 50%. This case study explores how CTEK products have helped with battery support and maintenance in the workshop and the benefits to the dealership in terms of business efficiency and customer satisfaction. The workshop consists of 22 bays, enabling the dealership to meet their customers' repair and maintenance needs and CPU updates required by the manufacturer. These mandatory CPU updates took an average of 50 to 60 minutes with existing battery support equipment. Their goal was to reduce the time required for completing the CPU updates to less than 30 minutes. Mercedes Drogenbos opted to introduce CTEK battery support equipment to meet these needs. They ordered three CTEK PRO120 battery support units for use during the CPU updates, mounted on the CTEK Trolley PRO for easy transportation between the bays. With the PRO120 battery support unit installation, the CPU updates take around 22 minutes under the 30-minute standard tariff. #ctek #PRO120 #ctekchargers #ctekcharging #supercar #supercharged #innovation #tech #car #workshop #carcharging
