Yuasa, the world’s leading battery manufacturer and Original Equipment (OE) supplier to the world’s top bike brands, has become the first battery manufacturer to offer registration lookup for motorcycle, automotive and commercial vehicle batteries.

The ground-breaking feature means that for the first time users can use a number plate to find the correct battery for all common vehicles registered in the UK, be it a motorcycle, commercial vehicle, car or light van.

The new function is available on Yuasa’s USB Smart Button and Online Battery Lookup system for the trade, and also its new consumer website www.yuasaeurope.com. All vehicles can also be found by VIN/Chassis number or Make/Model lookup.

As Europe’s most advanced battery lookup tool, Yuasa’s super-fast USB Smart Button and Online Battery Lookup system is designed for the trade and already used by over 75,000 technicians. This powerful tool saves workshops valuable time and money by allowing technicians to find the right battery and detailed fitting information quickly and easily.

Yuasa is giving technicians and retailers a free USB Smart Button which provides push-button workshop access to the system. Anybody interested in requesting one or trying the system online should visit www.yuasaeurope.com/smartbutton

Our customers can now use a number plate to find the right battery for any common vehicle registered in the UK.
