" We have been developing innovative solutions of many kinds for several years and our ready-to-use batteries have already built a strong reputation around the world ." Designed specifically for powersports applications , BS battery ranges such as its SLA and SLA Max are ready-to-use batteries that are said to offer " plenty of benefits such as high performance , increased power , extended life , extreme vibration resistance and multi-positional fitment ". Approved as OE equipment by many of the

leading global motorcycle manufacturers , BS Battery says it has the widest range of ready-to-use batteries , with more than 80 sealed , ready to use and pre-charged motorcycle battery applications in stock and ready to ship . " We had already upgraded our dry maintenance-free battery range to SLA and SLA Max ready-to-use technology simply because they are better - better performance , greater durability , much easier to use with no acid handling and maintenance . " Now , with the new regulations , BS Battery is in the perfect position to help distributors and their dealers to stay ahead and stay smart . “ We already meet the new European standard - our SLA and SLA Max batteries really are the best solutions for dealers and end users as they take away the increasingly unpopular complexities of dealing with acid fill technology . They are designed to make life easier for users , dealers and distributors . " Because our batteries are already factoryactivated , we are able to ensure that every day we have the right products in stock and ready to ship from our European Logistics Centre because they are maintained , tested , recharged and under control all the time ." Compatible with SLA and SLA Max batteries , the BS15 charger " optimises lead acid battery power and life with microprocessor control , with no risk of overcharging , as does our BS60 , a pro-smart battery charger , and the BK15 , an automatic bank charger designed for professionals ".
