Technical background of motorcycle batteries
Motorcycle batteries are an essential component of every machine and must meet the specific requirements of a motorcycle. There are different types of batteries, each offering different technologies and advantages. Here we explain the most important types and their technical features.
SLA on AGM technology: The maintenance-free solution
The intAct Bike-Power SLA AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) is one of the most popular technologies for modern motorcycle batteries. The main difference to classic batteries is that the acid in an AGM battery is bound in non-woven material. This keeps it solid so that the battery loses little fluid and is absolutely maintenance-free. It is robust against vibrations, which makes it an ideal choice for motorcycles in year-round use. AGM batteries also offer a higher safety reserve and faster charging capacity.
GEL batteries: Ideal for electronics-intensive motorcycles
The intAct Bike-Power GEL is characterized by a special technology in which the battery acid is firmly bound in a gel. These batteries are particularly suitable for modern motorcycles with many electrical consumers and ABS. They offer up to 30% more starting power than conventional batteries, are very resistant to vibration and have very low self-discharge. The sealed design makes it possible to install the battery in inclined positions. This makes them ideal for use in modern scooters and even in jet skis and snowmobiles.
Lithium-ion technology: lightweight and powerful
Lithium-ion batteries such as our intAct Bike Power Lithium set the standard for modern motorcycle batteries, especially in racing and on long off-road tours where weight and space play a decisive role. These batteries not only offer extremely high performance, but also remarkable longevity. They are particularly suitable for high-tech motorcycles that always need to be ready for use quickly. Lithium-ion batteries are lightweight, compact and have a high energy density, so they take up less space and can be charged more quickly.
HVT-AGM: Maximum power reserves for powerful motorcycles
The intAct Bike-Power HVT AGM battery is an extremely vibration-resistant battery that has been specially developed for motorcycles with a large engine capacity. With compressed and precisely fitted plate packs, it is particularly resistant to mechanical stress caused by vibrations. This technology ensures high cold-start currents and exceptional responsiveness when charging. If your motorcycle consumes a lot of power or you ride a lot of short distances, the HVT AGM battery offers an excellent solution as it recharges quickly.
HVT -GEL: Robust performance for demanding motorcycles
The intAct Bike-Power HVT GEL combines the advantages of gel technology with a particularly robust design. The gel technology ensures very low self-discharge and constant performance over the entire service life of the battery. It is ideal for motorcycles with many additional electrical consumers and ensures that the battery retains its starting power even under high demands. The HVT GEL battery is a particularly good choice for seasonally used motorcycles, as it retains its performance over longer periods of downtime.
