Training & Development
Comprehensive training programs for distributors, dealers, and service partners.
Battery Installation Training Program
As part of our ongoing commitment to excellence, we offer a comprehensive Battery Installation Training Program. This training helps you to:
Deepen Technical Knowledge
Keep abreast of the most recent developments in battery technology.
Installation & Troubleshooting
Develop hands-on skills in battery installation and troubleshooting.
Safety & Compliance
Understand industry best practices for safe handling and installation.
Customer Service
Learn to effectively communicate battery performance and maintenance tips.
What Partner Training Covers.
Six modules for distributor and dealer counter staff, workshop technicians and service partners. Depth is adjusted to the categories a partner carries and the experience of the team.
Product and range knowledge
Which battery, lubricant or tyre suits which application — JIS versus DIN fitment, EFB versus standard for start-stop vehicles, tubular versus VRLA for backup duty, and JASO ratings for motorcycle oil. Specifying correctly is where most warranty disputes are avoided.
Safe handling and storage
Batteries contain acid and vent hydrogen while charging. Covers personal protective equipment, ventilated storage, correct lifting, spill response, and why batteries should never be stored at partial charge.
Installation and fitment
Terminal polarity and torque, hold-down security against vibration, cable and clamp condition, and confirming tray dimensions before fitting. Loose hold-downs and over-tightened terminals are two of the most common causes of early failure.
Diagnosis and troubleshooting
Distinguishing a failed battery from a charging system fault — testing alternator output, checking for parasitic drain, and interpreting a slow crank correctly. Replacing a battery without checking the charging system usually means replacing it twice.
Warranty procedure
Registering a battery at point of sale, what evidence supports a claim, and how claims are submitted and assessed. Clean documentation is what makes a claim straightforward for the customer and the dealer alike.
Customer advice at the counter
Explaining service life honestly, advising on charging habits and seasonal storage, and handling the questions that come up most — which is what turns a one-off sale into a returning customer.
Most Battery Failures Are Not Battery Faults
A significant share of units returned as failed are working correctly. A loose hold-down lets vibration break down the plates. A corroded or over-tightened terminal produces the same slow crank as a flat battery. And a faulty alternator will destroy a brand new battery exactly as it destroyed the one before it — which is why replacing a battery without testing the charging system usually means replacing it twice.
Every one of those costs somebody. The customer loses time and confidence. The dealer absorbs a return that was never a product fault. And a claim moves through the warranty process that should never have entered it. A technician trained to check the charging system, the hold-down and the terminals first avoids most of it.
That is the commercial case for training, and it is why it forms part of standard onboarding for new distributors rather than an optional extra. Better specification at the counter and better diagnosis in the workshop reduce claims, protect margin and keep customers returning.

Formats to Suit the Team.
Arranged through the regional account manager according to market, team size and the categories carried.
On-site sessions
Delivered at a distributor's premises for counter and workshop staff, with hands-on installation practice.
Virtual sessions
Remote delivery for teams across multiple locations or where travel is impractical, covering product knowledge and procedure.
Train the trainer
For larger distributors, equipping an internal lead to run refreshers and onboard new staff without waiting for a scheduled visit.
Reference materials
Product brochures, specification sheets and fitment references for the counter, supported by the technical detail on each product page.
Partners: arrange training through your regional account manager or contact the regional team. Training is included in onboarding for new distributors. Employees: internal development programmes are arranged through the HR department, and open roles are listed on the careers page.
Common Questions
Training, Answered.
Who it is for, what it covers, how to arrange it and why it reduces claims.
Who is the training for?
Two separate audiences. Partner training is for distributor and dealer counter staff, workshop technicians and service partners — covering product selection, safe handling, installation, diagnosis and warranty procedure. Separately, internal development programmes support employees through continuous upskilling and career progression.
How does a distributor arrange training?
Through the regional account manager, or by contacting the regional team directly. Training is part of the standard onboarding for new distributors and can be scheduled again as teams change or new categories are added. Internal employees should contact the HR department; partners should not.
What does battery installation training cover?
Product and range knowledge for correct specification, safe handling and storage including PPE and ventilation, installation practice covering polarity, terminal torque and hold-down security, diagnosis distinguishing a failed battery from a charging system fault, warranty procedure, and customer advice at the counter.
Why does installation training reduce warranty claims?
Because a large share of apparent battery failures are not battery faults. A loose hold-down lets vibration destroy plates. An over-tightened or corroded terminal mimics a flat battery. A faulty alternator will destroy a replacement as surely as it destroyed the original. Technicians trained to check these first replace fewer batteries unnecessarily and resolve genuine claims faster.
Is training available in all markets?
Training is arranged by the regional team according to market and partner requirements, with on-site, virtual and train-the-trainer formats available. Distributors covering multiple locations or larger teams should discuss the most practical format when scheduling.
Does training cover products other than batteries?
Yes. While battery installation is the most technical area, sessions can cover lubricant specification — API and JASO ratings, viscosity grades and application — tyre selection including TBR and OTR sizing and tread codes, and product knowledge across car care, energy storage and appliances depending on the categories a partner carries.
