INTACT Bike Power GEL-HVT Battery YTX20L-BS

Bike Power GEL-HVT battery YTX20L-BS filled and charged, sealed GEL battery with particularly compressed plate packs electrolyte gel bound, absolutely maintenance-free.

intAct Bike-Power GEL-HVT
Closed GEL battery with particularly compressed installed plate packs electrolyte gel bound, absolutely maintenance-free

Width x depth x height = 87 x 176 x 154 mm
Cold start current: 350 A (DIN)

EXTREMELY ROCK RESISTANT
The hard-wearing bundle of energy puts away the strongest vibrations of HD and other large-displacement bikes well and also starts two-wheelers with a high demand for electrical energy (eg. B. with ABS).

GENERAL FEATURES:
- Perfect for HD and other high displacement 2-cylinder.
- Highest cold currents: For two-wheelers with high energy demand z. B. by ABS safety technology.
- Extremely resistant to vibration. Plate packs compressed and fitted accurately in the battery box.
- Robust housing made of impact-resistant plastic. For heavy mechanical stress.
- Leak proof. Can be installed at an angle, electrolyte bound as gel.
- Absolutely maintenance free.


INFORMATION - about treatment and care of their battery

A battery is only an energy store and any energy removed must be immediately 100% returned 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 standstill phases rather negatively.

To ensure a long life of the battery, you should note the following:
- Use of the battery only for its intended purpose (starter batteries to start and operate a vehicle with 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 the battery level, if possible, at least every 6 months and refill purified water if necessary (do not refill 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 trips - longer periods of standing high comfort equipment - start-stop operation), the battery charge level should be checked at necessary intervals (2 - 3 months).

In order to always have sufficient starting safety and not to initiate damage to the battery, it should always be charged to at least 75%. This can be determined with the quiescent 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 is not enough to fully charge the battery.

For vehicles that are only seasonally in use (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 self-discharge due to the constantly running chemical process, which inevitably leads to 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 capacity degradation.
