link hidden, please login to view and link hidden, please login to view, have entered a preferred partnership to release asTech Mechanical, a single device capable of accessing the majority of original equipment (OE) tools for shop owners. A recent study from Hanover Research and Babcox Media suggests that over 20% of repairs required an OE diagnostic tool to properly complete the repair job. However, many OE tools require a large upfront investment, costly upkeep, and specialized knowledge, creating barriers for many shop owners. Repairify and NAPA said asTech® Mechanical solves this issue by enabling shops to remotely connect to an OE tool, operated by a certified technician, to perform programming, calibrations, and vehicle health checks on a pay-per-use basis. “As a leader in the aftermarket repair industry, we’re dedicated to improving technician and shop efficiency,” said John Molidor, product category director – tools and equipment; paint, body, and equipment at NAPA. “Our partnership with

Motion technology provider
link hidden, please login to view announced it entered into a partnership with ATSG to become its primary sponsor. Through this agreement, Schaeffler will provide ongoing technical education support to the members of ATSG, which has offered technical support and repair information for transmission technicians for almost 40 years. Through its LuK brand, Schaeffler’s partnership with ATSG will “bring significant educational benefits to technicians in the aftermarket transmission repair industry,” the company said. Schaeffler added it will deliver technical educational content to ATSG members via in-person and online training events focused on trouble shooting and repair best practices.
“Having the opportunity to partner with ATSG demonstrates our commitment to providing both innovation and education to the aftermarket,” said Rob Steinmetz, product manager, Schaeffler. “As vehicles continue to become more complex, Schaeffler strives to support repair technicians with the resources they need to get the job done. We are thrilled to partner with ATSG and look forward to supporting its members.”
Reed Trueblood, managing director of ATSG, added: “We are eagerly anticipating the value and important resources this partnership will bring to technicians; Schaeffer’s dedication to excellence aligns with ATSG’s vision of driving innovation and empowering our customers with cutting-edge solutions.”
Throughout 2024 and 2025, Schaeffler and ATSG will host a series of training events, offering a range of opportunities for technicians to connect and learn. To sign up for these events and learn more about this partnership, visit

This winter, extreme weather patterns have been disrupting daily routines nationwide. Flooding, snowfall and subzero temperatures all have taken a toll on our roadways and vehicles, leaving many stranded or unable to leave their homes. For those who can make it out to the streets, driving conditions can be hazardous. Having a reliable, fully charged battery is critical during these weather events.
Several news reports lately have highlighted the negative effects of extreme weather on the growing segment of electric vehicles (EVs). Just as the lead-acid batteries found in conventional automobiles suffer during cold snaps, the battery packs found in EV and hybrid vehicles endure a similar kind of stress. As temperatures drop to freezing and below, EV efficiency (measured in miles per kilowatt-hour, or m/kWh) can be reduced by as much as 34%, shortening effective range. Unfortunately for EV owners, the reduction in range brought about by these cold temperatures means more frequent charging events.
As temperatures plunge, these charging events can take even longer. EV batteries need to achieve a minimum internal temperature before accepting a charge, so the vehicle prioritizes battery preheating before it begins the actual charging process, which itself is less efficient at low temperatures. These delays can lead to lines at public charging stations, and increased numbers of immobile EVs stranded roadside when batteries go flat before reaching a charging station.
Our customers with EVs still have the same type of 12-volt auxiliary battery commonly found in ICE-powered vehicles featuring stop-start technology. The BCI groups 400 and LN1 are just two of the popular AGM applications in this category. For ESS or hybrid vehicles, this battery is necessary for powering accessories when the engine is off, while EVs need a 12-volt power source isolated from their high-voltage traction systems. Maintenance-free AGM batteries are most often used in these applications, due to their ability to recharge quickly and a longer service life when compared to other types of lead-acid batteries.
Lithium-ion batteries (like those used in cordless tools around the shop) are becoming a popular auxiliary option for EVs as well as ICE-powered vehicles. Lithium-ion batteries have a higher energy density than their lead-acid counterparts, so they can pack the same amount of power into a smaller (and lighter) case. Tesla has been using lithium-ion technology for its auxiliary battery in the Model 3, S, X and Y since 2021.
Intelligent Battery Sensors
As batteries and charging systems become more advanced, use of an intelligent battery sensor (IBS) is becoming more commonplace. BMW has used battery sensors since 2002, and uniquely requires “registration” to notify the PCM that a new battery has been installed. This update allows the PCM to tailor the battery-management system to the output of the new battery. The sensor now has a reset “baseline” to make decisions on charging voltage, idle speed and other parameters that affect drivability and battery life. In addition to measuring current in and out of the battery, the IBS also may monitor battery state of charge, state of health and even temperature.
No matter if you’re daily-driving an ICE or an EV, a properly maintained battery and charging system is critical to reliable starting in all kinds of weather. Fortunately, given today’s battery technologies, it’s even easier to maintain and monitor these systems than ever before!
