Yu-Fit+ is the next-generation evolution of the discontinued Yu-Fit, an essential tool for workshops and mobile technicians for over ten years. With new safety protocols and the increasing technological complexity of modern vehicles, battery validation is more crucial than ever. Yu-Fit+ ensures that GS Yuasa customers can continue to provide professional and seamless battery fitting services, maximizing vehicle performance and battery life.
As vehicle technology advances, more manufacturers are implementing systems to protect their electrical components. Yu-Fit+ allows users to configure and validate batteries in vehicles requiring authorized access using SFD and VSA security protocols, ensuring that battery replacements are completed successfully without causing system errors.
Equipped with an enhanced internal processor and expanded memory capacity, Yu-Fit+ delivers faster performance and broader vehicle compatibility than ever before. It allows technicians to:
Validate new batteries quickly in under 60 seconds.
Access the latest vehicles with safety protection, including those from the Volkswagen Group.
Works directly from the vehicle's OBD port without requiring an external power supply.
Perform periodic checks via GS Yuasa's PC Suite to maintain compatibility with evolving vehicle systems.
Most modern vehicles have Battery Management Systems (BMS) that regulate battery performance. If a new battery is not validated correctly, the vehicle may display warning messages, disable the Start-Stop function, or experience premature battery failure. Yu-Fit+ eliminates these problems, ensuring a professional and trouble-free battery replacement process.
James Douglas, Marketing Director of GS Yuasa Battery Europe Ltd, stated: “At GS Yuasa, we continue to lead the way in battery technology and vehicle advancements, ensuring our customers have access to the latest tools and equipment to save time, reduce costs, and grow their battery businesses. Yu-Fit+ reflects our commitment to providing workshops and technicians with the most advanced tools, online battery finders, and the widest range of batteries available on the market.”
"Workshops and technicians already using Yu-Fit should consider upgrading to Yu-Fit+ to ensure compatibility with the latest vehicle models and manufacturers' safety protocols. The new tool provides greater parts coverage, faster processing speeds, and access to safety systems, making it an essential investment for any company looking to stay ahead in the evolving battery market."
