Clarios Launches Battery Manager Pro: Predictive Maintenance Cuts Fleet Costs $500/Year

Key Details Clarios Connected Services unveiled Battery Manager Pro at TMC 2026 in Nashville, a Battery-as-a-Service model that shifts fleets from reactive replacement to predictive maintenance. The system monitors battery health remotely and provides failure warnings up to 90 days in advance, enabling scheduled replacements during routine maintenance windows instead of costly roadside emergencies. Why It Matters Fleets currently lack visibility into battery condition, leading to either premature replacements of usable batteries or unexpected failures that strand drivers. Battery Manager Pro eliminates this guesswork while delivering estimated savings of $500+ per vehicle annually through prevented jump starts, avoided alternator misdiagnoses, and terminal-based maintenance instead of roadside repairs. Additional Benefits The technology extends battery life by 30-35% and monitors alternator and starter health to prevent unnecessary battery replacements when other components are the real problem. A fixed monthly subscription replaces unpredictable emergency costs while eliminating warranty disputes with OEMs - eliminating the back-and-forth with manufacturers entirely. Junior Barrett, Clarios' global director of business development, emphasized the system ensures you'll never face roadside emergencies with advance notice built into the model.
