Making battery identification easy

Alongside its premium quality brands, Manbat prides itself on the support services it also provides to its customers in order for them to make the best out of the opportunities that battery and battery related products present them.

The company has now launched another support led initiative, with the introduction of its battery look-up website, a battery identification focused tool, that specifically assists users with their battery verification issues.

When using the look-up – http://batteryfinder.manbat.co.uk/ – users simply need to enter the registration number of the vehicle in question into the search box and the site will use a sophisticated VRM look-up database to locate the correct vehicle and provide access to its vehicle-specific details. This information naturally includes the exact specification of the battery for which it is designed, and therefore provides an absolute assurance of the precise replacement the vehicle manufacturer has specified for that model.

In addition to the VRM look-up, the site allows users to find the correct battery replacement via two alternative routes should the registration number for some reason not be available. The first is via the vehicle’s own specific identification or VIN number, which it then links through to the database in the same way as the VRM search, the second is a vehicle search menu.

Here, an easy to use and intuitive suite of drop-down boxes will locate the vehicle in the shortest possible number of selections. So both routes make the identification process extremely quick, while maintaining the accuracy required.

“The introduction of a battery look-up facility allows us to expand the level of support we give to our customers with a tangible mechanism that they can use every day,” said Manbat’s marketing manager, Myles Pemberton. “Not only does it make the task of finding the correct replacement battery easy and accurate, it also allows them to link into several other useful resources, which can help them and their customers.

“By creating an account, which is completely free to members of the trade, users can login and access helpful information concerning several matters including fitting instructions and battery specification sheets, as well as battery handling information and do’s and don’ts when if comes to batteries both installed on the vehicle and in storage.

“Naturally, the look-up portal links in with the main Manbat website from where users can find out more about any aspect of the business including its UK branch network and sister companies that operate in Europe.

“It also contains a raft of information concerning the brands the company distributes and the alternative sectors those brands cater for. This is particularly useful for customers exploring the option of expanding their offering to include other sectors such as leisure or marine, where the profit margin is substantially greater than it is in the ultra competitive world of automotive and commercial vehicle batteries.”
