A dead Transit, Sprinter, Vivaro or Crafter on a DY3 driveway usually isn't a garage job. A proper mobile jumpstart with a 2000A+ pack gets you running in minutes without a recovery truck.
Most van jumpstart jobs around Sedgley come from the DY3 and DY3 postcode areas, plus the surrounding villages toward Coseley.
What's included on a van jumpstart in Sedgley
- Heavy-duty 2000A+ lithium jump pack rated for diesel commercials up to 7.5t
- Alternator output tested at idle and at 2000 rpm before we leave, so we know the recharge will actually work
- Battery voltage and cold-cranking amps measured with a proper Midtronics-style tester, not a cheap voltmeter
- We check tail-lift, refrigeration, dashcam and tracker draw for parasitic drain that kills fleet batteries
- AGM and EFB stop-start vans handled correctly — no fitting a standard flooded battery in an AGM slot
- Battery registration/coding done on the OBD for vans that need it (Sprinter, Crafter, T6, Custom)

Van Jumpstart — common questions
Q.What if the van battery keeps going flat every week?
That's parasitic drain — usually a dashcam, tracker or aftermarket electrics wired to permanent live. We do a milliamp draw test and identify the circuit.
Q.My van cranks slowly then dies — is that the battery?
Usually yes, but sometimes it's the starter drawing too much current or a bad earth. We test all three on the driveway before recommending a replacement.
Q.Can you jumpstart a large diesel van?
Yes — our packs are rated for LCVs and small trucks up to around 7.5 tonnes. A booster designed for petrol cars won't do it; ours will.
Q.Do I need to register a new van battery to the ECU?
On Sprinters, Crafters, T6 Transporters and newer Custom Transits — yes. We carry the OBD tool and code it as part of the fit.

General questions
Q.What if it's not the battery?
We'll tell you honestly — sometimes it's the alternator, the starter or a parasitic drain. Better to know than to buy the wrong part.
Q.Do you charge a callout fee just to look?
No blind callout fee. You get a fixed price on the phone based on your postcode and vehicle before we set off — no surprises at the driveway.
Q.How quickly can you get to me?
Typically 45–60 minutes across the West Midlands from our Oldbury base — faster off-peak and at night when the roads are empty.
