Always choose the right battery for the application
When choosing a battery, it basically depends on what it is to be used for.
The most important distinction is between starter batteries, including motorcycle batteries, and cyclic batteries such as traction or supply batteries.
Starter batteries, including …
Dimensions before starting power
First of all, a battery must fit in your vehicle or machine. Check the dimensions of your old battery or the available space in the battery compartment of your vehicle.
The placement of the terminals, i.e. where exactly the positive and negative terminals …
Checking the liquid level against sulphation
In a battery or accumulator, the chemical reaction between the active material of the grids and the acid generates current (electrons emitted) to supply the loads or stores current (electrons) provided by the charger or alternator.
If the acid only partially …
Care should be taken when handling batteries
Chemical processes take place in batteries. They are influenced by external circumstances such as temperature or humidity. That is why it is worth taking care. During use, storage, installation and transport. For your own protection and for the protection …
Why does the intAct Bike-Power AGM not have a vent hose?
The intAct Bike-Power AGM is a VRLA battery, i.e. a valve-regulated lead acid battery. The little gas that is produced is returned to the circuit by gas recombination and overpressure is prevented by the safety valve. The usual venting of wet batteries …
What is wear and what can you do about it?
With a worn battery, the active material has degraded due to excessive load. Modern vehicles with many consumers constantly place higher demands on the battery. The capacity of the installed batteries is often not designed for this.
Prevention
The choice …
Charge filled and charged battery before installation.
A battery that is not fully charged when installed will not reach its full capacity in the future and will have a significantly shortened service life.
Even factory-filled and charged batteries can lose charge during storage. We recommend that you also …
Fluid evaporates in batteries during the chemical reaction to generate electricity, more so in a wet battery than in an AGM or GEL battery where the acid is fixed in non-woven or as GEL respectively. Unlike these sealed batteries, the vapor in the sealed …
Charging correctly step by step
Tip: For full performance: Charge before first installation!
1. preparation
Check that your charger matches the battery.
Does the charger support the correct charging voltage?
Does the charging current provided match the battery?
What charging curve …
Why are the labels coming off my battery?
Detached labels indicate wear due to excessive temperatures.
Tip: Always give your battery time to cool down before charging or use a charger that charges temperature compensated.
Tip: If you operate your vehicle or device in a very hot environment, choose …
