This jump starter is capable of performing multiple starts from just one charge and can be used for all petrol vehicles and diesel engines up to 10-litre capacity, so includes motorcycles, cars, 4x4s, vans, commercial vehicles and boats. It will jumpstart Lead, AGM, Gel and Calcium batteries all in under 30 seconds. “It also takes just two hours to recharge the jump starter with advanced PD60W charger, sold separately, or four hours via the USB-C charging cable, and there’s a handy indicator on the front to show how charged it is, which allows users to know how many jump starts they’re able to do with this piece of equipment. There is reverse polarity protection if connected the wrong way to the battery terminals and it will sound an audible warning if the battery voltage is too low, less than 1V, indicating the battery is too depleted to be recovered.” For more information, visit: www.ringautomotive.com Battery E-Learning Finally finishing up on training, a fresh batch of battery ELearning has been made available via the VARTA Partner Portal, which is designed to complement the company’s face-to-face-training as well as its YouTube-based content. Commenting on the expansion, Ulrich Germann, Training and Technical Support Manager at the VARTA Training Academy said: “Our E-Learning offerings are aimed at everyone who deals with batteries in their daily business. We want technicians and sales advisors, wholesalers and retailers to be able to understand the new technologies and today's complex vehicles." There is more to the training than just the vital matter of keeping technicians up-to-date on modern battery systems though, as Ulrich explained: “In addition to general topics such as Warehousing and Storage or the VARTA brand and USPs, there is also more in-depth technical material such as Vibration Resistance or Deep Cycling Capabilities.” The next technological leap is already underway according to Ulrich: “After a successful launch, a new series on the topic of drivetrain electrification and the role of the 12V battery in electric vehicles is ready for learners in the portal. The new modules focus on differing types of vehicle technology available in the market, and the role of the 12V battery for each of these.” John Rawlins, Marketing Manager UK and Ireland, added: “We are very pleased to be able to support the UK and Irish aftermarkets with these free-to-access E-Learning courses, and hope that technicians and factor staff find them useful and informative. Our intention is to provide bitesize online training to complement the face-to-face training we already provide.” VARTA E-Learning courses are currently available within the VARTA Partner Portal.
