Commenting on how the Ecobat Battery ONE BOX package can help garages make the most of the battery opportunity, Product Manager Andy Waite said: “In 2019, after researching the market, Ecobat Battery discovered that nationally 43% of workshops turned away Stop/Start battery replacement work due to either being unsure of the process, which meant they were losing out on the revenue it offers, estimated at £185 per installation at that time. “Ecobat Battery addressed the problem head-on and introduced the ONE BOX, a solution that consolidated all the equipment needed to test and install Stop/Start batteries into a single package. The components brought together in the ONE BOX bundle include an EBT780 battery analyser, an EBC8UK battery charger and OBD lead to support the vehicle’s ECU/data storage during the replacement process and an EBT420 battery validation tool to ensure the new AGM/EFB battery is correctly assimilated into the vehicle’s battery management system.” Andy added: “Ecobat’s ONE BOX opens the way for workshops that might still be turning Stop/Start battery replacement work away and allows them to access the business and increase their profits, with a straightforward, practical and inexpensive solution.” For more information, visit: https://ecobat.com/ourbusiness/ecobat-battery/ Below: Launch Tech UK recently launched ADAS PRO+ and ADAS Mobile, its new ADAS calibration equipment Right: 2x1 EV Adaptor from Cascos
