Our absolute top product in motorcycle batteries is the intAct Bike-Power Gel series.
This series was specially developed for modern motorcycles with various electrical consumers and ABS.
Through the combination of the fleece separators and the fixed electrolyte in gel, up to 30% more power is achieved compared to conventional motorcycle batteries.
The batteries also impress with a very low self-discharge and a very high vibration resistance.

GENERAL FEATURES:
- Even more cycle resistant than Bike-Power AGM and Bike-Power SLA of the same box size.
- Low self-discharge. For seasonal use.
- Very high vibration resistance. Electrolyte bound as a gel.
- 30% more starting power than a classic battery of the same box size. For motorcycles with many consumers, also ABS.
- Absolutely maintenance-free. Sealed block battery for which refilling is not possible and not necessary.
- Filled and Loaded. Ready for immediate use.


INFORMATION - about treatment and care of their battery

A battery is only an energy store and any energy taken must be immediately 100% fed back to this by the generator of the vehicle or externally by a charger, if the energy balance by short-time operations or by generally few operating times with longer stand phases rather negatively precipitates.

To ensure a long service life of the battery, you should observe the following:
- Use of the battery only for its intended purpose (starter batteries for starting and operating a vehicle with an internal combustion engine).
- The surface of the battery must be kept clean and dry, no oils or liquids must be deposited on it to avoid the formation of leakage currents that can cause significant self-discharge.
- Check battery level, if possible, at least every 6 months and top up with purified water if necessary (do not top up accumulator acid).
- In case of high water loss, please have the function of the charge controller checked by a specialist. With optimal installation location and normal requirements, your battery will use little to no water, but these factors vary greatly depending on use.

If your vehicle tends to have a negative energy balance due to its use (short journeys - longer periods of standing - high comfort equipment - start-stop operation), the battery charge level should be checked at the necessary intervals (2 - 3 months).

In order to always have sufficient starting safety and to avoid damaging the battery, it should always be charged to at least 75%. This can be determined with the open-circuit voltage or with an acid lifter.
Resting voltage:
12.51 V - 12.57 V = 75% charged
12.69 V - 12.75 V = 100% charged

Acid density:
1.25 kg/l = 75% charged
1.28 kg/l = 100% charged

This is the minimum charge level the battery should have, even if you still work with less, but this is always on the account of durability.

Optimal would be 100% charge - for 100% benefit!

Since today's generation of vehicles places a significantly higher electrical demand on the battery, (due to your extensive comfort and electronic equipment) it can quickly come to a negative energy balance even with newer vehicles. When the amount of energy generated is mostly required by the on-board network and the remaining amount is not sufficient to fully charge the battery.

For vehicles that are only used seasonally (convertibles, motorcycles, tractors, harvesting vehicles, construction machinery and construction vehicles), the same must be observed for the battery with regard to charging as described above.

Check the charge (open circuit voltage) of your battery at least every 2 months and recharge if necessary. Every battery is subject to a self-discharge due to the constantly running chemical process, which inevitably leads to a deep discharge of your battery if this is not compensated by charging. If this is still connected to the vehicle, the discharge may be even faster, as the vehicle may also be consuming standby current. It is best to disconnect the battery.

Deep discharge is not a warranty but always self-inflicted and usually associated with the total failure of the battery.

The ideal temperature to store a battery over a standing period is 10 - 15 degrees. Higher temperatures accelerate self-discharge and loss of water.

Eternal life has the battery nevertheless not - the capacity is used up at some point.
Always full charge + normal load = slow capacity degradation.
Insufficient charge + high load = rapid degradation of capacity.

Important information for our customers regarding the disposal of used batteries:

As a distributor of vehicle batteries, we are obliged to charge you a deposit of 7.50 Euros including VAT per vehicle battery in accordance with § 10 BattG, if no old vehicle battery was returned to us by you at the time of purchase of a new vehicle battery. The deposit will be refunded to you upon presentation of a written or electronic proof of return in accordance with § 10 para. 1 cl. 4 BattG, which must not be older than two weeks at the time of presentation, or upon return of an old vehicle battery. You can either return the used vehicle battery directly to us free of charge (for address, see imprint) or to a collection point set up by the public waste disposal authority (possibly subject to a charge). If the used vehicle battery is not returned to the distributor collecting the deposit, the authorised collector who takes back the used vehicle battery is obliged, in accordance with § 11 para. 3 BattG, to confirm the return without deposit reimbursement to you as the end user in writing or electronically on request. In this case, please return the return confirmation to us together with the deposit voucher, stating your order number, so that we can refund the deposit amount to you as quickly as possible.

Please note:

We will refund the deposit after you have sent us the disposal receipt (e.g. by email, fax or letter - see imprint). As used vehicle batteries are hazardous goods, they must not be returned to us by post or parcel service under any circumstances.
You will be refunded the amount using the same payment method that you selected when placing your order.
