The Battery Replacement Programme
Simplifying battery replacement for our partnersWe are investing in the success of your workshop, helping you to grow and to prosper. That is why we have developed
Synergy, a new programme from Exide Technologies that simplifies battery replacement, reduces labour costs, and
helps make your business more profitable.
Through our OE experience, we see firsthand that batteries are becoming more advanced
than ever before. This is a positive development for all of us, but it has introduced
technological changes that are causing some confusion in the market today.
Exide has responded to this confusion and developed a new programme to free our
partners from the increased costs and barriers associated with battery replacement.
Read on to discover the steps we have taken to make everything easier and more
efficient for your business.

Preparing your workshop for the futureSynergy is Exide’s new programme that helps you overcome the complexity of replacing batteries in the latest cars
today. Synergy also positions your business for tomorrow’s inevitable battery developments.
In modern cars, the battery is much more central to the vehicle’s
electrical management system. You can no longer just remove a
battery and replace it with another.
You need to consider the impact on the ECU settings of the
vehicle, and the possible warning message that may show on
the dashboard. You also need to consider the possible underlying
effects on the technology that ties the battery to the car, such as
start-stop power train platforms.
Exide has found a way to assist with these issues and get
your workshop ready for the future.
Some diagnostic equipment has been unable to reliably manage
the relationship between the car and battery, and this has brought
unnecessary labour costs to your business.
To help improve this situation, Exide met with many of the
diagnostic equipment providers and shared the views of our
customers.
To respond to the needs of Exide’s resellers and the broader
aftermarket, many of the diagnostic equipment providers will be
working on software updates to allow workshops to manage and
fit batteries more effectively. This lets you save money and get
the most from your existing equipment.
To find out if you will be receiving an update, contact your
diagnostic equipment provider for more information.
Most workshops already have diagnostic equipment
(approximately 90%), and most will receive a software update that
will allow them to replace batteries using their existing equipment.
For workshops that do not currently have diagnostic equipment
(approximately 10%), we have developed a battery replacement
tool that helps address many of the challenges you face – and it
costs just a fraction of what you pay for the traditional options
available on the market.
Battery Replacement Programme
Synergy
Exide’s Synergy programme aims to resolve battery replacement problems for
workshops with or without diagnostic equipment. It allows you to spend your
time and money more effectively, and to focus on growing your business. We
were pleased to learn that many of the diagnostic equipment providers plan to
update their software, and help you prepare for the future.
“”
90% of the market
Most workshops already own diagnostic
equipment, and most of them will be able to replace and
manage batteries with the equipment they already own.
If you own diagnostic equipment that cannot yet replace
batteries, at a future point you will likely receive a software
update that will give you the functionality you need.
Workshops without diagnostic equipment can replace
batteries with Exide’s new BRT-12 battery replacement tool.
It lets you service batteries on modern cars, capture more
market share, and protect your position in an increasingly
competitive environment.
The BRT-12 battery replacement tool also costs significantly
less than anything else on the market.

The facts about battery replacementThere is a lot of confusion around battery replacement in modern automotive platforms. Here is an overview of the
challenges you could face, and how you can resolve them for your customers.
Codes not always needed
Some manufacturers require battery codes to be inputted into
the ECU when the battery is changed. In many cases, you can
simply enter a random number and it will still work most of
the time. Exide’s new BRT-12 battery replacement tool comes
preloaded with many of the required codes, and in most cases it
can also retrieve the last code that was entered.
Error message on the dashboard
When we work on the car, very often error messages will be
displayed on the dashboard. In the case of batteries, an error
message will show on the dashboard when the battery needs to
be replaced.
After the battery is replaced, the error message may
remain on the dashboard until the system is aware that the change
has occurred. You can update the system using battery-ready
diagnostic equipment, or the Exide BRT-12, and the message
should disappear.
Exide has developed a programme that helps workshops save
money and get the most from their existing technology.
We have developed two solutions, each targeted to your business
and the investments you have already made.
Workshops with diagnostic equipment
If you already own diagnostic equipment, you will likely receive
a future software update that will allow you to replace batteries
without the need for additional equipment.
Exide wanted to protect your existing investment, and that is
why we were determined to find a solution that worked with
your existing diagnostic equipment – without exposing you to
additional costs.
Workshops without diagnostic equipment
Workshops without diagnostic equipment can get the
BRT-12, the battery replacement tool from Exide Technologies. It
gives you the capabilities you need at a price you can afford.

Battery Replacement Programme
SynergyWorkshops with diagnostic equipmentYou will likely receive a software update for your existing diagnostic equipment from your equipment provider,
allowing you to replace and manage batteries. Now you can reduce the time spent on servicing batteries, and protect
your existing investment in diagnostic equipment.
Some diagnostic equipment has been unable to replace batteries
properly on some of the new technology platforms. To address this
issue, Exide met with many of the diagnostic equipment providers
and explained why our customers needed new functionality to
manage and replace batteries.
Many of the equipment providers have said they are planning to
release a software update to give you the functionality you need,
which should make battery replacement much easier.
The car battery has become increasingly important.
With the introduction of start-stop and regenerative breaking
systems, batteries are now more closely tied to the overall
architecture of the car. This is why batteries need to be controlled
centrally within the vehicle, and it is why you need new
functionality in your existing diagnostic equipment.
As more new cars come on the road, you will become increasingly
reliant on technology to replace and manage batteries.
Your existing diagnostic equipment will likely be updated to
handle this requirement, allowing you to avoid making any costly
investment in new hardware.
Contact your existing diagnostic equipment provider and find
out if you will be receiving an update. Once it is installed, battery
replacement will get much easier and more efficient.
