Removing the starter battery or motorcycle battery
If you want to remove a start-stop battery: inform the vehicle system before removal.
First disconnect the negative cable (usually black), also called ground or earth, from the negative terminal of the battery.
Then remove the positive cable (usually red) from the positive terminal of the battery.
Charging during long idle periods
If the vehicle is stationary for long periods and you make a lot of short journeys, it is advisable to charge the battery regularly with a charger, even if the battery has a low self-discharge rate or high cold-start performance. The exact intervals depend …
The plates in a battery will corrode if they are not completely covered by battery water.
Reasons for corrosion Sealing damaged before filling in dry pre-charged batteries Closed, low-maintenance batteries such as the intAct Bike-Power Classic are dry …
Always choose a battery that suits your individual requirements
Each battery technology has particular strengths, but also weaknesses. Depending on the requirements your battery has to meet in the respective application, or which properties you want, some battery technologies are more suitable or less suitable.
It is important to weigh up the properties.
Depending on the type, this battery is low-maintenance or maintenance-free.
Low maintenance version - TV types
Low-maintenance batteries can be recognised by the removable sealing plugs on the top, the vent hose and the white or transparent housing. In …
Ideally, batteries should be kept dry. Even slight moisture can promote leakage currents.
If you've noticed condensation on your battery frequently in the past, such as with temperature fluctuations, or water can get to your battery, it's worth considering …
A coherent equation: A lot out, a lot in.
Every battery loses power over time.
If it is loaded normally and is always fully charged, the capacity is slowly reduced.
If it is often overloaded and insufficiently charged, the capacity is reduced much more quickly, i.e. the battery ages much faster.
Ideally, …
Always choose a battery that matches the load
Depending on the type of battery, it is designed for certain loads:
Starter batteries must deliver as much current as possible during the starting process. The cold start current, measured in CCA, is informative here and shows how much starting power …
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 …
Filling a dry pre-charged battery
Dry pre-charged batteries must be filled with battery acid and charged before installation.
