Motorcycle batteries for Harley & Indian: Vibration-resistant & strong

Das Bild zeigt das Markenbike von intAct als Headerbild für die Kaufberatung Motorradbatterien.

In principle, you can use any two-wheeler battery for a heavy bike as long as it fits the technical data. In other words, the dimensions, voltage (volts), cold test current (amperes) and capacity (ampere hours). However, we want you to enjoy your battery for as long as possible and your Harley has high requirements: The typical sound means high vibrations, your heavy bike needs a lot of starting power, extensive equipment, infrequent rides or demanding terrain take their toll. A particularly powerful and durable battery makes sense here. We will show you which batteries you can choose from and help you make the best choice for you.

Which battery fits my bike?

It is best to measure the old battery to find out how big your new battery can be.
The picture shows a diagram for the correct measurement of batteries.

Then take a look at the connection poles, i.e. which pole is where and the shape of the poles.

You can also read the most important technical data from the old battery: the voltage (Volt), capacity (Ah), the cold test current (A (EN)), e.g. 12V 10Ah 210A (EN).
The picture shows the intAct Bike-Power GEL including the voltage and capacity specifications.

It's easier with our battery finder. Enter the make, model and year of manufacture and you will receive a list of all batteries that you can install in your motorcycle.

Vibration-resistant batteries for powerful motorcycles and demanding terrain

For strong motor vibrations

Everyone knows the roar of a Harley Davidson. It owes its sound largely to the displacement of its cylinders, in the classic V arrangement. A small number of cylinders not only creates a lot of "oomph", but also strong engine vibrations and therefore vibrations to which the battery is also permanently exposed.

Heavy-duty motorcycle batteries such as our intAct Bike-Power HVT series can do even more:

For particularly high starting power

Your large-volume cylinders also need a good "boost" and a battery with a correspondingly high starting power. Our HVT batteries start powerful bikes reliably and without grumbling.

For demanding terrain

Long tours, difficult terrain and in all weathers. A topic not just for bikes. Jet skis that defy the waves, snowmobiles that fight their way over frozen slopes and through deep snow. Our HVT batteries can withstand the challenges of any terrain and provide a reliable source of energy in almost any weather.

HVT batteries: Powerful performance for big bikes

So an HVT battery definitely makes sense, but when is the intAct Bike-Power HVT enough and when should you go for the intAct Bike-Power GEL HVT-HD?

Many consumers? intAct Bike-Power GEL HVT-HD

Have you installed a high-quality intercom and sound system to enjoy the ride together with your pillion passenger or your group? Heated grips and seats let you enjoy the first rays of sunshine in style? Batteries in heavy machines don't just start the combustion engine. They also power all the equipment during the ride. And not just the factory-installed consumers such as ABS, lights, etc., but also all the additional equipment installed. The alternator can hardly keep up with the energy demand. If you don't want to do without comfort and additional safety, we clearly recommend the intAct Bike-Power GEL HVT-HD battery. It has been developed for deep discharges from consuming loads and can withstand up to 50% of the charge being removed.

GEL battery for long downtimes

Do you only use your bike from time to time at the end of the working day or do you go for a select ride at the weekend when the weather is nice? And your bike is well protected in the garage in between?
Your battery still loses charge all the time. You can't stop the current output. Incidentally, this happens even faster at high temperatures. And the emptier it gets, the more it damages the battery. It ages prematurely. If you only ride occasionally and don't want to worry too much about your battery, the intAct Bike-Power GEL HVT-HD is the right battery for you.

In this HVT battery, the battery acid is thickened to a gel-like consistency by combining it with silica. This consistency makes the reaction in the battery slower and means that less energy is lost when standing around than with other battery technologies. If the charge nevertheless drops, it can withstand this better than other batteries. The GEL ensures that the grids are still protected against corrosion all round.

Lots of short trips? intAct Bike-Power HVT

Days of walking towards the sunset. That is the dream. The reality is short trips in between. By constantly starting the engine, more current is drawn from the battery each time than can be returned to the battery via the alternator during the short journey. The battery not only becomes increasingly empty, but also less and less efficient. It ages much faster. In this case, we clearly recommend the AGM-based intAct Bike-Power HVT.

Whether charging via the alternator or a connected charger, it can absorb charge even faster than a normal AGM motorcycle battery. The tightly packed plates between the glass fiber fleece make the difference and are the best way to compensate for short-distance deficits.

You will not be able to completely avoid charging this battery with a charger from time to time. Normally, however, it is rarely necessary. And if your battery does need to start your bike, even though it is not optimally charged, the intAct Bike-Power HVT still delivers significantly higher starting performance than other batteries. Even in difficult temperatures.

Conclusion: The right battery for your large-volume motorcycle 

The intAct Bike-Power HVT always makes sense if your battery needs to withstand strong vibrations and your large-displacement bike needs to start without problems even under difficult conditions.
