Tesla has parted ways with the traditional 12V battery in its latest models Y & 3. GYS discusses its solution to this and reminds readers of the importance of supporting the battery during safety critical ADAS calibration.
Its introduction of 16V lithium batteries in the Model Y came as a surprise to an industry that deals almost exclusively with 12V battery systems. Following the launch of 16V Model Y, Tesla now also fit the same 16V Li-Ion battery to the Model 3, presenting an immediate challenge to the car repair industry. GYS has introduced a solution. The 24V Connected (CNT) versions of GYSFLASH now offer battery support to Tesla 16V Lithium.
Battery support units are required to sustain a vehicle’s electronic system during diagnostic and ADAS work. They ensure a stable voltage and instantaneously deliver required current, preventing disruption and protecting delicate and expensive electronic components. BSUs have become essential for all workshops, especially during ADAS work. GYS claims it offers the most advanced battery support units on the market, with a product suitable for all applications, including Tesla 16V Lithium batteries. A high-quality battery support unit will be able to keep a lead or lithium battery at a perfectly stable voltage during diagnostics.
ADAS calibration supported
Battery support during ADAS calibration is critical since continuous power is needed to operate vehicle systems and sensors. If voltage drops during calibration, disruption or even failure of the calibration process can occur. As ADAS calibration places battery voltage under heavy load, voltage will fluctuate if not properly supported. This can affect the accuracy of sensor readings and calibration procedures. Quality battery support units, such as GYSFLASH, stabilise the voltage, ensuring consistent and reliable voltage. ADAS calibration, testing, and other Key on/Engine off operations require this high level of stability.
Interruptions in power supply during calibration can lead to loss of data, forcing recalibration and wasting time and resources. Additionally, power surges or spikes can result in very expensive damage to engine computer units. BSUs act as a backup power source to the vehicle battery, eliminating the risk of data loss or ECU damage due to power loss or spikes.
ADAS plays a vital role in vehicle safety, therefore correct calibration is essential. Battery support units ensure the systems can be calibrated without compromising the safety of the vehicle. GYS offers intelligent systems that are ideal for ADAS calibration and general diagnostics. Fully customisable, GYSFLASH Connected (CNT) battery support units allow the user to easily add, modify, or delete charging modes via USB; custom or predefined configurations allow the unit to perfectly adapt to the required application.
In addition to advanced diagnostic mode, GYSFLASH battery support units offer charging, showroom, and tester modes making them indispensable to the modern vehicle workshop. With rapidly advancing vehicle technology, it’s important to keep up with the demand of a modern vehicle battery.
