Battery types There are some for installation in the motorcycle. But which one has to go in? When buying a new motorcycle battery, the prices can e.g. T. turn out to be quite different. In addition to the price, the one used also plays a role battery technology an important role. There are also major differences here. The different technologies Lead acid, gel, AGM and HVT should be briefly explained here. There are also a few tips for proper use the respective battery types.
AGM battery
In an AGM battery, in contrast to a standard wet battery, the acid is bound in a fleece. AGM is the abbreviation for the English term "absorbent glass mat", which translates as "absorbent glass fleece“Means and thus essentially describes the core of the technology. This is due to the binding of the battery acid gas tight and practical leakproof and in addition maintenance-free. An AGM motorcycle battery also offers further advantages in the form of a high Cycle and vibration resistance and higher Cold start currents. The AGM battery was designed for motorcycles with a high energy requirement and the associated high stress on the battery. The lid or the pressure relief valve should no way be removed as this will destroy the battery. AGM motorcycle batteries are extremely hot, however less effective. On the other hand, extreme cold is not a problem.
Motorcycle batteries with gel technology
A gel battery is characterized by the fact that, as the name might suggest, the battery acid is permanently in one gel-like and therefore solid state was convicted. For this reason, it can be position-independent, i.e. even schräg, to be built in. And it cannot leak even if the housing has been damaged or destroyed. The gel battery is characterized by the fact that it is very robust and therefore particularly suitable for machines from the Off-road area is. The type of battery does not affect long-term use or heat. Same goes for some Deep discharges (> 50%), which she puts away with relatively no problems. Due to the high cycle stability, the gel battery has a very long service life, which offsets the expensive purchase price.
Lead-acid battery
The lead-acid battery is, so to speak, a classic among vehicle batteries and features the best price-performance ratio. One disadvantage, however, is that you get the battery acid have to fill it in yourself, as this is supplied separately. On the other hand, this leads to a prolonged one Shelf life. The used Calcium-calcium technology gives the battery good (cold) starting properties. Except for special cases, it is largely maintenance-free. Only the refilling of evaporated water can be necessary here and there. However, it is important to avoid deep discharge of the battery. For longer idle times z. B. in winter, the battery should be disconnected. In this way, the service life can be massively extended.
HVT batteries
HVT batteries are particularly vibration-proof and robust, which makes them primarily suitable for installation in motorcycles 2-cylinder V-engines (e.g. Harley Davidson). They are completely closed and therefore leakproof and maintenance-free. Other advantages are the large safety reserves, just one low self-discharge and a high Cycle stability. They are also suitable for motorcycles that come with ABS equipped.
