Why is battery configuration essential? 

Many modern vehicles feature battery management systems (BMS) that monitor battery performance and optimise vehicle energy usage. When a battery is replaced, the system must be updated to recognise the new battery. Failure to reconfigure the BMS can result in: 

• System faults and warning lights 
• Error messages displayed in the vehicle 
• Loss of Start-Stop functionality 
• Reduced battery lifespan and premature failure 

The GS Yuasa Yu-Fit+ ensures that every battery replacement is completed correctly, allowing workshops to offer a full and professional service while avoiding potential system malfunctions. 

Workshops with existing diagnostic tools 

Many workshops already own general diagnostic equipment capable of accessing a vehicle’s OBD system. Using these high-value tools for routine battery validation is inefficient as it ties up essential diagnostic resources required for complex fault-finding and other critical vehicle servicing. The GS Yuasa Yu-Fit+ is purpose-built for battery validation, ensuring workshops can carry out quick and accurate battery replacements without disrupting other essential diagnostics. 

It is also an ideal tool for mobile mechanics, fast-fit centres, tyre specialists, and breakdown services, providing a compact, easy-to-use solution for on-the-go battery replacements.

Why choose Yuasa?
Yuasa batteries are highly regarded for several core reasons that make them a superior option:

• Reliability and Longevity: Yuasa is renowned for producing batteries with long service lives and consistent, dependable performance. This means less worry about premature failure and a better return on investment.
  
  
• High Quality Construction: They use advanced manufacturing techniques and high-quality internal components, often resulting in superior vibration resistance, better charge retention, and overall robustness compared to many budget brands.
  
  
• Industry Expertise: With over 100 years of experience, Yuasa (now part of GS Yuasa) is a global leader in battery technology, continually innovating to meet the demanding specifications of modern vehicles.

What Being an OEM Supplier Means for you
The fact that Yuasa is an OEM supplier is perhaps the most convincing reason to choose it, as it validates the quality of the product:

• Meets Exact Vehicle Specifications: OEM means the battery is supplied directly to vehicle manufacturers to be fitted in brand-new vehicles coming off the assembly line. These manufacturers require batteries to meet incredibly rigorous performance, size, and safety standards.
  
  
• Guaranteed Fit and Performance: Since the battery meets the exact specifications set by the vehicle maker, a buyer can be confident that it will fit perfectly and deliver the precise power and capacity required by their vehicle's electrical system.
• The Gold Standard: Vehicle manufacturers choose Yuasa because their batteries are proven to meet the highest benchmarks for quality and durability. By choosing Yuasa, you are buying the exact same quality component the manufacturer trusts to power their vehicle from day one.

In short, when you buy a Yuasa battery, you are getting the original factory-fitted quality and performance, which is a significant upgrade over a generic aftermarket option.
