Intact Bike Power Battery CB 4L-B, 4AH with acid pack
Width x depth x height = 121 x 71 x 93 mm
Cold start current: 20 A (DIN)
Intact Bike Power motorcycle batteries -
that means pure performance.
The robust technology, precisely matched to the special loads in motorcycle operation, ensures a long service life and reliable starting power in the 12 volt range. In the version incl. acid pack, a suitable acid pack is supplied with all batteries.
Information about treatment and care of their battery
A battery is only an energy store and any energy taken 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 service life of the battery, you should note the following:
- Use 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 state of charge should have the battery at least, even if you still work with less, but this is always on the account of the shelf life.
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.
ImPORTANT NOTE:
The battery acid (sulfuric acid 38 -42%) is according to. EU 2019/1148 about a precursor for explosives. We draw your attention to the fact that the acquisition, distribution, possession and use by persons of the general public is subject to a restriction pursuant to Art. Article 5(1) and subject to.
For more information, please refer to Regulation EU 2019/1148.
