Don’t trust just anyone with your Battery Fitment

Thu, 14 Mar 2024 06:38:35 GMT

Bridge Batteries is committed to providing comprehensive and professional service to our customers. With the ever-evolving technology in modern cars, ensuring the correct car battery configuration is essential for optimal performance and longevity.

Gone are the days when replacing a battery was a simple swap-out procedure. Modern vehicles are equipped with sophisticated CO2 production control systems, such as smart charging and Idle Start Stop (ISS), which demand precise battery configurations and registration with onboard computer systems.

Car Battery Replacement Experts Bridge Batteries uses the best diagnostic tools to ensure your car battery replacement is done right, every time.

Failure to adhere to these specifications can lead to a cascade of issues, none of which are covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

Potential consequences of neglecting proper battery configuration:

Undercharging or Overcharging: Incorrect battery parameters can lead to undercharging or overcharging, both of which can damage the battery irreversibly. This damage isn't covered by warranties, leaving vehicle owners with unexpected repair costs.
Loss of ISS Functionality: Particularly the Idle Start Stop system, designed to reduce emissions and improve fuel efficiency, relies on precise battery parameters. Failure to configure the battery correctly may result in the loss of this functionality, impacting both environmental performance and fuel consumption.
Loss of Non-Critical Vehicle Systems: Many modern cars rely on intricate electronic systems for various functions. Improper battery fitment and configuration can disrupt these systems, leading to malfunctions or failures that compromise the overall driving experience.

Our highly trained, local Battery Experts at Bridge Batteries use the best-in-class diagnostic tools and the right battery every time. The BT608 battery diagnostic tool is a great example of what Bridge Batteries uses. It is a leading-edge solution designed to streamline the configuration process for vehicles equipped with smart charge and ISS systems. This tool plays a pivotal role in ensuring:

The vehicle recognises the installation of a new car battery.
The charging system adjusts to accommodate the new battery's characteristics.
The vehicle utilises the correct charging parameters tailored to the new battery.

The BT608 isn't just a configuration tool; it's a comprehensive diagnostic powerhouse. From testing 6 & 12V batteries using adaptive conductance to analysing 12 & 24V charging/cranking systems and even reading and erasing basic non-critical error codes, this tool offers unparalleled versatility and functionality and is best practice.

If you need a new car battery for an ISS Stop Start or smart-charge car battery replacement, ask what diagnostic tools they use. Unfortunately, some car battery shops will fit what they have and hope for the best.

By being informed about the advanced tools and techniques employed during the installation process, your vehicle and battery will last longer and not cause any unintended consequences.

In today's fast-paced automotive landscape, staying abreast of technological advancements isn't just our promise; it's a necessity. With the BT608 and highly trained battery technicians, your car battery replacement is assured, warrantied, and registered. Choose the best car battery replacement, choose Bridge Batteries with the best battery prices.

The risks of fitting your own car battery

Mon, 08 Aug 2022 08:21:44 GMT

Mistakes can often be made when changing your own car battery.

Car batteries can generally last for five years provided they are given proper maintenance. Its longevity is however also dependent on other factors such as the climate, the vehicles operation, how you use your vehicle (start regularity & distance travelled). Overcharging or undercharging the battery can also cause premature failure.

Before you consider doing it yourself, think of the following :

Do I have the necessary safety gear ?

Am i strong enough to lift the battery out and a new on in ?

Am I technically savvy to complete this ?

Do I have the necessary tools and devices ?

Am i prepared to accept the consequences if things go wrong ?

Is it just easier to get it done by the experts ?

Firstly, using a voltmeter, test the battery voltage, then start the car and test that the alternator is charging the battery correctly. Often people replace a battery due to a faulty alternator. If you have decided that it is your battery, then ensure you have a memory minder that ensures your vehicle retains its electronics and data before removing the old battery. The biggest risk with changing over a car battery is when trying to disconnect the dead battery in the wrong order. Before changing your car battery, you should ensure that the new battery you are replacing it with is fully charged. Then start with disconnecting the negative cable first followed by the positive cable. Undo any of the hold down clamps/brackets and ensure they are well clear of the battery terminals to avoid an accidental short. Be very careful not to drop or misplace the nuts. Lift the dead battery by removing it in an upright position. This is to prevent its acidic solution from leaking out. Respect the weight of the product when lifting as often its in an awkward position and can easily cause an injury to your back or hands. Place the old battery in a safe place to avoid contact with acid residue. You can then place the new battery at the position of the former one.

So wouldn't it be easier to just just call into the Bridge Batteries & Solar and get your vehicle electrics tested to ensure the correct solution is provided.......and without getting your hands dirty ! We can also dispose of your old battery safely and environmentally friendly for free.

Extending the life and performance of your battery

Wed, 23 Mar 2022 00:37:43 GMT

Here at Bridge Batteries we know the cost of a new battery is sometimes an unexpected cost however on that is relevantly minor when it comes to being an essential operation to your vehicle. And when you have to incur such a cost, we want our customers to get the maximum life out of their new battery so there are a number of things you can do to maximise its performance and life :

1. Check your batteries state of charge regularly. Most sealed maintenance free vehicle batteries will have a visual indicator on top of the battery, however a voltmeter (if it’s a maintainable type) or a battery monitor will give you a much more accurate indication. The stabilised voltage of a fully charged battery should read higher than 12.5 volts. A proper voltage will ensure your alternator is doing its job and prevent shortened life from undercharging or overcharging. A running voltage of 13.8 – 14.5 is normal depending on your vehicle but anything well outside this range could be damaging your battery and can indicate your alternator is not functioning correctly. We can do these tests for you so if in doubt, drop in and see the team for a free battery health check.

2. Inspect the terminals and cable for signs of corrosion, damage, looseness or breakages. These should be neat, clean and tight.

3. Ensure the top of the battery is clean of any dirt or grime. This build up can cause surface discharge.

4. Apply a heavy duty anti-moisture, anti-corrosion lubricant to the terminals and cable connections.

5. If you have a maintainable lead acid battery, regularly check the electrolyte levels. If low, top up with distilled water to just above the lead plates or the indicator level shown inside each cell. Do not overfill as the electrolyte will expand during the charging process and may spill out. We sell distilled water if you need it.

6. Check for any signs of physical damage to the battery such as bulging or warping. This is normally due to overheating or overcharging and will significantly lower the life of your battery. Unfortunately if you find this condition exists, then its best to replace your battery immediately to prevent a breakdown when you least expect it. Come in and see us if you want to verify the battery condition.

7. If you plan on storing your battery long term or use its used seldomly (marine crafts, motorbikes, caravans), ensure to check the voltage regularly and charge when the voltage drops below 12.5 volts or keep the battery charged using an appropriate trickle charger. Ensure to check over the battery first before placing on charge. We stock and sell chargers for your needs.

8. If you do happen to flatten your battery, for example by leaving the lights on, place the battery on charge as soon as possible. The longer the battery sits in a discharged state, the more damage that will occur to the battery due to sulphation, a natural science that occurs inside the battery when discharged.

9. Preventative maintenance is key. The battery is the heart of your electrical system, whether it be in your vehicle or running your electrical components in your caravan. Keep it healthy and change it when necessary. We recommend changing out your battery periodically, about every 3-4 years to prevent getting stuck on the side of the road or a warm fridge.

If you have any more questions on how to look after your battery. Call us at Bridge Batteries in Murray Bridge or drop in for a free battery test.
