New Battery Supplied & Fitted in Solihull
Battery supplied and fitted at your Solihull address — correct chemistry, coded where needed, old unit recycled. Van Jumpstart included, 24/7.
Choosing a battery is not just about physical size. Capacity in amp-hours, cold cranking amps, terminal layout, hold-down type and chemistry all have to match, and getting any one wrong causes problems weeks later rather than immediately.
Commercial vans park up cold overnight in Solihull and refuse to start when the temperature drops. That's parasitic drain plus an ageing battery — a jumpstart on the spot beats a tow every time.
Around Solihull the common jobs are morning no-starts on the yard, lunch-break dead batteries at customer sites, and end-of-day flatlines after tail-lift or refrigeration use.
Where we fit
interwar detached houses in the area means most fittings are kerbside or driveway jobs rather than garage work, which suits a mobile operation.
Locally that means Solihull itself plus the neighbourhoods that feed into it, with access via M42 J4/J5 and A34 Stratford Road and a practical radius reaching Shirley (~2 mi) and Olton (~2 mi).
Who books a fitting
People who have been quoted a workshop rate plus a recovery cost for a job that takes twenty minutes on a driveway.
Domestically, interwar detached houses and executive new-builds dominate around here, which shapes how these jobs are accessed and worked.

Know it needs a battery?
Tell us the vehicle and postcode and you get a fixed price before we set off. Old battery taken away. We route in via M42 J4/J5, roughly 8 miles out from Birmingham.
Specification, coding and fixing
- AGM and EFB units are registered to the vehicle's battery management system where fitted.
- Memory retention is used during the swap so radio codes, seat memory and steering angle calibration survive the disconnection.
- We check tail-lift, refrigeration, dashcam and tracker draw for parasitic drain that kills fleet batteries
- Van Jumpstart work here is judged against the vehicle's own specification rather than a generic pass mark.
Battery fitting questions
Q.Do you take the old battery away?
Yes, every time, for proper recycling. Nothing is left behind.
Q.Do you cover Solihull and the B90 area for this?
Yes. Solihull is inside our routine coverage from Oldbury via M42 J4/J5, roughly 8 miles from Birmingham. We also cover the surrounding neighbourhoods on the same run.
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.What warranty comes with the battery?
Two to four years depending on the type fitted — standard flooded, EFB or AGM — with the paperwork issued at the vehicle.
Q.Will I lose my radio code and settings?
Not with memory retention in place, which is used as standard on any vehicle that needs it.

The short version
The details decide whether a new battery lasts four years or fourteen months: chemistry, capacity, coding and a properly torqued hold-down. Either way you get the readings, the reasoning and a working vehicle before we leave.
