CONSTRUCTION: The batteries are made with A123 cells, so they are the lithium phosphate chemistry. High performance batteries require BMS (Battery Management Systems). EV batteries (pure electric vehicles), Racing batteries, and Gasser batteries require different
BMS solutions. We include the required BMS electronics with all batteries.
VIBRATION PROTECTION: G-Force vibrations are very high and destroy batteries. We recommend a cushion surrounding the battery.
The cushion should be at least 3/16 thick and made from rubber (like computer mousepad rubber). Almost any padding material will help, but each motorcycle vibrates in its' own way. We recommend checking for vibration reduction after installing battery, both at idle and at cruising RPM.
HEAT: Our batteries do not bulge, vent, or have fumes. Normal heat is not a concern, unless you park in direct sunlight (for long periods in the desert), or have exhaust pipes too close to the battery.
CHARGING WITH VEHICLE ALTERNATORS & REGULATORS: Typical Lead Acid batteries have a huge voltage drop during cranking. Ours do not. Typical batteries continuously reduce voltage until they reach about 11 volts. Ours maintain high voltage (usually between 12 and 13 volts) during all battery usage. The trigger to begin a charge from the alternator or regulator may not realize that our battery is ready for a charge. So, you may need to adjust or replace your alternator or regulator to fit into the battery charging notice range.
If you experience this situation, you will not damage the battery, but will suddenly find the battery is empty. This situation will appear within thirty days of your installation. If you do not want to replace the alternator or regulator, AND if are within the original thirty days of purchase date, you may return the battery for a refund.
CHARGING WITH SHOP OR HOME CHARGERS: Do NOT connect to unattended chargers. Use a simple timer to automatically shut off charger if you must leave charger unattended. Do NOT expect “Smart” chargers or “automatic” chargers to shut off correctly. Chargers should be limited to max voltage of 14.5 volts (measured for accuracy).
TRICKLE CHARGERS & STANDBY CHARGERS: It is NOT recommended to use trickle chargers, as most models continue to charge after batteries are full (even if they say that they don't do that). We do NOT trust or recommend trickle (maintainer) chargers. Do NOT overcharge.
DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS:
Maximum full voltage charge: 14.5 volts
Maximum Continuous Amps during Charging or Discharge:
Models starting with 4s2p: 140 Models starting with 4s6p: 420
Models starting with 4s3p: 210 Models starting with 4s7p: 490
Models starting with 4s4p: 280 Models starting with 4s8p: 560
Models starting with 4s5p: 350 Models starting with 4s9p: 630
BATTERY BENEFITS: These batteries offer continuous power ALL THE TIME (the first 96% of "state of charge"). When they are partially charged, they will still offer full power and measure as FULL. This is a big difference from standard batteries, as there is NO SAG.
This can confuse new users, as you will appear to have a fully charged battery until the very end of the state of charge. This is a great improvement, especially for racers. It also means that you need to watch the charging methods and measure many times until you understand the capabilities and unusually fast charge abilities of the batteries. Timers are best when left on a charger. Limit the timer to short times until you know the results. A totally dead battery can recover as much as 50% of capacity and 100% of available cranking power in as little as one minute! This also means that the battery can accept high amps so fast that it can be totally filled from "dead" in as little as six minutes without damage to the battery. But, overcharging above 14.7 volts does damage the battery. Almost all chargers are built cheaply and many damage batteries without warning. Typical lead acid batteries start too bubble and create fumes and sparkle. Our batteries are not liquid, so they do not warn you or create fumes or bubbles. You must measure them electronically.
DAMAGE & DESTRUCTION EFFECTS: If the battery is overcharged, performance will be reduced, or the battery can totally destruct.
In a slight damage situation, the life cycle or number of charge cycles or power will be reduced, perhaps without noticeable performance. In a worst case situation, the battery will bulge, then flare and flame for approximately twenty seconds. This is not an explosion like a “bang”, but more closely to a safety flare or a fireworks flame shower that has intense heat and flames nearby the battery (usually about 9 inches on one or two sides) that can catch nearby items on fire. The battery will self extinguish and may not even damage the painted surfaces of adjoining frame or battery box. Pressure, heat, or flames are still very dangerous, and can cause damage to anything nearby, including persons. The remains of a destructed battery are non-toxic and do not contain lead or acid.
WARRANTY: Warranty will only be honored to registered purchasers with proof of registration. Conditions of Warranty are described in
Warranty Agreement. The manufacturer, distributors, sales agents, and users are only bound by the terms of the written (and acknowledged)
Warranty Agreement. Generally, the Warranty covers prorata replacement of battery and does NOT cover misuse, overcharging, trickle charging, damage to, damage from, or failure of electrical or mechanical, or other components, paint, consequential damages, derivative damages, loss of profits, shipping, or personal injury. The manufacturer wants full disclosure and fairness and will treat any warranty claim on an individual basis.
