VARTA. THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND START-STOP It s a fact that the majority of top car manufacturers trust VARTA products to always deliver. Our strength lies in developing strong working relationships with car makers to develop the best batteries for the best new vehicles. Recently, close collaboration with top names such as Audi, BMW, Ford and Mercedes-Benz, has led VARTA to develop advanced Start-Stop batteries. Major Automotive Manufacturer Contracts Honda AUDI BMW EfficientDynamics Ford ECOnetic GM ecoflex HYUNDAI Blue Drive KIA EcoDynamics Land Rover Mercedes-Benz BlueEFFICIENCY MINI MINIMALISM SEAT Ecomotive SMART micro hybrid drive Volvo DRIVe 11

THE ADVANCED BATTERY AT THE HEART OF THE START-STOP SYSTEM Everyday driving, especially in the city with frequent stops, puts a considerable strain on a Start-Stop battery. In fact, it s not uncommon to start and stop four times every kilometre. This means that the battery must cycle on and off constantly, and often needs to start the vehicle with only a partial charge. A Start-Stop battery will often use energy from the alternator or regenerative braking to quickly restore energy. As a result, the Start-Stop battery is specifically designed to power these countless starts without any significant loss in capacity. Because we ve worked with original equipment manufacturers for decades, you can be sure a VARTA Start-Stop battery will always perform at its best. Energy flow of the START-STOP PLUS Battery Energy flow of the START-STOP Battery Energy flow of the CONVENTIONAL Battery Start-Stop batteries are designed to meet intense cycle requirements caused by a high number of starts. Conventional batteries are not a solution and their installation may lead to premature failure. 12

TECHNICAL CHALLENGES FOR THE WORKSHOP There s a lot more to replacing a Start-Stop battery than simply removing the old one and installing a new one. Connected to the on-board electronics by a battery management system (BMS) or intelligent battery sensor (IBS), the battery is the heart of the Start-Stop system and key to maximising the environmental benefits. In order to maintain comfort and keep consumption down, many vehicle manufacturers link the installation of a new battery in a Start-Stop vehicle to a memory reset. To do so, it s vital to have the right diagnostic tool. But that s not all. Selecting the right battery and the various installation processes (see photo) present further challenges. So it s essential to have up-to-the-minute installation instructions to prevent damage to the vehicle s electronics or mechanical components and to ensure quick, reliable starts. So how many independent workshops are properly equipped to replace Start-Stop batteries? We asked 1,200 top European workshops if they felt ready. And because almost 60 % said no, we developed a unique service program to support both workshops and wholesalers. Read on for details of how VARTA gives you reliable answers to every Start-Stop question to help you profit from this fastgrowing sector. 13

SmarT technology, services and support for your business The VARTA Start-Stop Service Program (VSSP) is designed specifically for independent workshops. This comprehensive program provides everything your business needs to replace Start-Stop batteries professionally and profitably.
