ECOBAT Battery Technologies (EBT), formerly Manbat, is teaming up with long-term partner VARTA during Automechanika Birmingham this June, to demonstrate all things EFB/AGM and encourage technicians to look to the future and benefit from the changing world of batteries.

As it has done previously, the company will also be using one of the event’s technical presentations, to be delivered from the Technical Training Hub in the show’s ‘Garage Quarter’, to give technicians a glimpse of the future by addressing the realities of the growth in lithium battery technology and the responsibilities faced by workshops as the global trend for electric vehicles continues.

Current technology will also not be overlooked as the market transitions from traditional to hybrid vehicles, which put greater demands on the vehicle’s battery management system and requires vehicle specific repair solutions.

EBT point out that technicians are in the front line, not only when it comes to diagnosing problems and making the repair, but also in educating motorists who are largely unfamiliar with this new technology. EBT will therefore be challenging them with the question: are they equipped for an electric future?

On the EBY stand (H81), alongside the VARTA range, EBT will be displaying its Lucas portfolio, as well as its very own Numax offering.

Sales Director, Paul Payne says, “Start/stop equipped vehicles, the continuing trend towards fully electric alternatives, environmental responsibilities and the wider opportunities outside of the traditional automotive sector are all points of interest that many visitors will want to discuss. We look forward to welcoming visitors to both the technical presentation and our stand.”
