BS Battery – the lighter, stronger and longer-lasting battery for your bike

Winter is the time of year when batteries usually fail. To avoid being stranded without power when the weather and temperatures are at their worst, now is the time to fit a BS Battery to your ride.

Made for off-road bikes that are subjected to extreme conditions, as well as v-twin cruisers, ATVs and SxSs that rely heavily on electrical components, the all-new ‘Lithium Max’ range from BS Battery has arrived in Australia.

Founded in France in 2008, BS Battery has rapidly grown to become an OEM supplier and approved battery for major motorcycle brands. More than 400 products are in the BS Battery range, with an in-house R&D division developing new products and improving existing ones. This research is aided by involvement in motorcycle racing around the globe.

BS Battery is a supplier and sponsor for Aprilia Racing in MotoGP, GMT94 Yamaha in World Supersport and Sherco Racing in rally raid, plus international teams in MX, SX, enduro, trials and road racing. BS Battery also backs championships and teams at the national level.

BS Battery is making its Australian debut with the premium Lithium Max range – BSLi-02, BSLi-10 and BSLi-12. 

Offering up to twice the capacity of the Lithium range, Lithium Max was developed to suit new off-road bikes, as well as modern v-twin cruisers, ATVs, UTVs and SxSs with complex electrical systems.

Strong, but light, Lithium Max batteries are up to 70 per cent lighter than comparable lead acid batteries. Larger pouch cells than the Lithium range allow enhanced CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) and capacity – up to 900CCA and 18Ah.

Capable of more than 2,000 recharge cycles, Lithium Max batteries are built to handle harsh European winters, but they can also handle scorching Aussie summers, with an incredible heat resistance rating of 230°C.

Clever features include brass terminals for enhanced electrical performance and an LED screen that indicates charge level, while vibration- and shock-resistant components ensure durability.

All Lithium Max batteries are supplied ready to use, with fastening nuts and washers included. The BSLi-02 includes spacers, while the BSLi-10 and BSLi-12 fit existing lead acid battery casings, with no spacers required. All three models are rated at 12.8V, with the following individual characteristics:

BSLi-02 – 3Ah capacity, 36Wh, 180CCA 

• Made to suit new and late model off-road bikes

BSLi-10 – 15Ah capacity, 180Wh, 750CCA
