More often than not, the battery that comes with your motorcycle is an old-school lead acid battery. Once your battery dies, going for an AGM or Lithium motorcycle battery is a good idea. Although AGM and Lithium motorcycle batteries are more expensive, they offer many benefits. MotoBatt and USPS are leaders in this category, we'll find out why you should consider going for a MotoBatt or USPS AGM and Lithium batteries.

MotoBatt.

MotoBatt was founded in 2008 to fill the niche of premium powersports batteries, this included motorcycle batteries. MotoBatt primarily makes two kinds of batteries, Quadflex AGM and Pro Lithium. Aside from batteries, MotoBatt also produce high-quality motorcycle accessories such as smart battery tenders that work with different types of batteries and portable jump starters.

Why AGM?

AGM or Absorbent Glass Mat technology has many advantages as a motorcycle battery compared to traditional Lead Acid batteries. First of all, AGM motorcycle batteries are factory-sealed and activated. This means that aside from being spill-proof, they can also be mounted in a multitude of ways. AGM motorcycle batteries are significantly lighter than the equivalent Lead Acid battery, reducing the total weight of your motorcycle.

The way AGM battery works is each plate in the battery is wrapped in a fibrous glass matting that absorbs the liquid electrolyte, preventing it from sloshing around. This also means that the plates are well-cushioned, stopping them from vibrating around. Vibration can cause the breakdown of the plates and causes short circuits which leads to early battery failures, AGM technology prevents this from happening.

AGM motorcycle battery has a lower self-discharge rate compared to traditional Lead Acid batteries, making them a suitable choice for motorcycles that hibernates in the winter. AGM motorcycle battery has higher amps compared to equivalent conventional Lead Acid battery, giving AGM motorcycle battery the ability to discharge deeper and recover repeatedly under vehicle alternator charge or through maintenance charging. 

AGM motorcycle batteries from MotoBatt come with QuadFlex technology. QuadFlex provides a unique four-terminal design with two positives, two negatives, and height spacers. This gives MotoBatt QuadFlex AGM battery a near-universal fitment, allowing for flexibility in mounting and installation. MotoBatt QuadFlex AGM motorcycle batteries use high-quality, heavy-duty plates to ensure longevity and reliability.

US Powersports AGM batteries provide all the benefits of going with an AGM motorcycle battery on your motorcycle without the associated costs. US Powersports Battery AGM motorcycle battery comes factory-sealed and activated allowing for a maintenance-free lifestyle.

Why Lithium?

Compared to conventional Lead Acid motorcycle batteries, Lithium battery is 3x lighter. This greatly reduces the total weight of your motorcycle, ideal for use in competitive environments. Lithium motorcycle batteries provide more amps, giving them superior cranking performance in a range of temperatures repeatedly compared to traditional Lead Acid batteries. Lithium motorcycle batteries have a very low discharge rate, giving them the ability to retain charge over a very long period. Compared to conventional Lead Acid batteries, Lithium motorcycle batteries have a much higher life expectancy, being able to go through over 2000 cycles compared to Lead Acid 500. Lastly, Lithium motorcycle batteries have a much shorter recharge time compared to the equivalent Lead Acid battery.

The MotoBatt Pro Lithium range offers a high-quality Lithium motorcycle battery for a very reasonable price. Choosing to go with the MotoBatt Pro Lithium battery gives you an advantage over your competitors on the race track or allows flexibility in mounting the battery on your custom project bike.

Conclusion.

In this article, we found out that AGM and Lithium motorcycle batteries offer many advantages over traditional Lead Acid batteries. Choosing to replace your OEM Lead Acid battery with an AGM or Lithium battery from MotoBatt and US Powersports is a good idea as they offer the advantage of newer technology at a reasonable price. Until next time!
