SUMMARY:The Evolution of Battery Diagnostics: Meeting Today's Electrical Demands
DESCRIPTION:Battery complaints are often symptoms of broader electrical system issues rather than true battery failures. Misdiagnosis not only drives up costs but also leads to unnecessary replacements\, repeat repairs\, and customer frustration. This session explores why these errors occur and shares practical diagnostic strategies that help technicians pinpoint root causes\, boost repair accuracy\, and improve shop profitability. \nPresented by EnerSys | ODYSSEY Battery.

SUMMARY:Stop the Comeback Cycle: Why System Selling Wins for Shops\, Techs\, and Customers
DESCRIPTION:Savvy shop owners know how important it is to repair it right the first time. Selling a system repair solution is one of the most effective ways to keep techs happy\, increase inventory turns\, and importantly…reduce unhappy comebacks. Join Gates to learn more about ‘system selling’ and some industry trends that you can use to educate your customers on why you aren’t selling a fix\, you’re selling a solution. \nPresented by Gates Corporation.

SUMMARY:The Next Generation of SCR Performance: Preparing for 2027 Emissions Regulations\, DEF Quality\, and Deposit Prevention
DESCRIPTION:With 2027 emissions regulations approaching\, diesel aftertreatment systems will face significantly tighter NOx standards and more demanding operating conditions. These changes will place increased pressure on Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems to perform with greater precision and reliability. At the same time\, deposit formation within SCR systems is emerging as a critical challenge that can impact vehicle uptime\, maintenance costs\, and emissions compliance. \nThis session will explore how the 2027 regulatory landscape is reshaping DEF performance expectations\, why deposit prevention is becoming the next major frontier in SCR reliability\, and what the aftermarket must understand to support fleets and customers. Attendees will gain insights into the causes of SCR deposits\, how they affect system efficiency\, and the innovations being developed to help ensure long-term emissions performance. \nPresented by Old World Industries.

SUMMARY:Why Most Aftermarket B2B Commerce Launches Fail
DESCRIPTION:B2B buyers in the automotive aftermarket — repair shops\, fleet managers\, and dealers — have already moved their procurement online\, and the distributors and suppliers who built digital commerce infrastructure early are pulling ahead. But most mid-market companies still launch ecommerce the wrong way: treating fitment accuracy\, ERP integration\, and account-level pricing as ‘phase two’ features instead of the table stakes that wholesale buyers require on day one. This session draws on firsthand experience with mid-market aftermarket replatforming projects to share the patterns that separate high-ROI commerce launches from expensive rebuilds — and a practical framework attendees can apply to their own digital roadmap. \nPresented by Classy Llama.

SUMMARY:Today’s Batteries - Power vs. Energy
DESCRIPTION:Evolving vehicle technology depends on a reliable battery for power and energy. Your modern vehicle is like a computer on wheels and needs the right lead product for maximum performance. Batteries are being asked to do more than just start the car and keep it moving. Understanding the importance of battery diagnostics and matching replacement technologies to vehicle requirements is reshaping maintenance and repair strategies. \nPresented by Stryten Energy.
