Motorcycles for street use as well as those for use in motocross and cross-country racing have special requirements when it comes to batteries. Ordinary flooded lead acid batteries are not quite up to the mark when it comes to demanding use. The electrolyte can spill and corrode the terminals as well as parts of the bike. It is far better to use more expensive but reliable and quality motorcycle batteries. Modern motorcycle batteries are available in a range starting at 3Ah and go up to 12Ah and beyond. The most suitable types for use in motorcycles are the VRLA battery and the AGM or absorbed glass mat battery. Both types are spill-proof and are maintenance free in addition to offering superlative performance with a longer life span. Specialist batteries for motorcycle use incorporate calcium-calcium lead alloy plates with the inherent advantages of extended charge retention, protection against thermal runaway during charging and better power delivery, assuring instant starts.
- Special paste composition and grid construction in these batteries means there are no problems of flaking or sulphation. Such batteries are resistant to vibration and shocks encountered in cross country motorcycle rides.
- Sealed construction with leak-proof construction in the rugged housing means the battery lasts longer, there is no problem of spills and you enjoy improved performance all the time.
- Maintenance-free AGM and VRLA types free you from having to check electrolyte levels and frequent topping up in addition to more cold cranking power and better storage properties. You can safely winter your bike and be sure the battery will not die on you.
- The plates are internally welded to a common rail connected to the terminals in a sealed, leak-proof construction assuring greater reliability and more power.
Cheaper, low quality batteries can never match the extremely high quality of materials and construction found in batteries from reputed brands. If you have a high end bike like a Harley-Davidson, an Aprilia, a Buell or a BMW, you want the same quality performance from the battery as you expect from the bike.
