ELECTRICAL BATTERY INFORMATION Very rarely is a battery faulty, a battery fails mainly from not knowing MAINTENANCE FREE - SEALED TYPE BATTERIES how a battery works and from neglect. Always follow instructions ACTIVATION - Remove sealing foil covering filling holes, fill battery with provided with each battery. Listed below are a few pointers to follow. electrolyte supplied with battery following instructions enclosed with battery. CONVENTIONAL BATTERIES When all electrolyte supplied with battery has drained into the battery you must leave the battery to stand for 1 hour. ACTIVATION - Remove filler caps / plugs, remove and discard breather New activated batteries require an initial charge, after adding cap. electrolyte a new battery is only about 80% charged. Fill battery with electrolyte up to upper level indicated on battery. The battery should be charged to at least 12.8 volts or more (only use Do not over fill battery and do not fill with distilled water. a recommended charger see page 258-260) following instructions Leave battery to stand for 30 minutes, if acid level has fallen top up as provided on the battery. required using electrolyte not distilled water. Distilled water should When charged, seal battery with caps provided and press down firmly, only be used to top up batteries in the future. when sealed there is no need to replace caps or add electrolyte. A battery must be fully charged before use, so an initial charge is MAINTENANCE - Although they are called maintenance free required (only use a recommended charger See pages 258-260). batteries, they still need to be maintained. Charge battery for 3 to 5 hours at a current 1/10 of the stated battery Check batteries at least once a month on a regular basis when in use, capacity e.g. 12 AH requires 1.2 Amp more so when not in use, for a battery will always discharge quickly While charging check acid level and if required top up with distilled especially if stood for any long periods of time and having alarms fitted water to upper level, then charge for a further 1 hour at the same rate etc. If battery voltage drops below 12.4 volts the battery requires allowing the distilled water and acid to mix. charging, fully charged batteries should read 12.8 - 13.0 volts. When charging is complete replace filler caps / plugs, do not obstruct If battery reads 11.5 volts or less the battery has become over breather outlet and fit breather tube as required, making sure that the discharged and its internal resistance may be too high to charge at a tube is not trapped and not kinked in anyway. normal charge voltage, so it may be necessary to raise voltage of the MAINTENANCE - Check regulary the battery, terminals and acid level. battery to 20 volts max and charge for 5 minutes approx, if ammeter If level drops below lower level, top up with distilled water. shows no change after 5 minutes a new battery is required Maintain battery in a charged condition, always charge fully if battery Remember a battery will always discharge, only use recommended becomes discharged. battery chargers and follow instructions carefully.

Production process for all BS batteries is directly inspired by the process in place for high quality industrial batteries. BS BatBS Battery perfectly deal with the four typologies of M/C batteries: Conventional, Maintenance Free, Factory Activated & Gel BS Battery has shown a clear expertise in Factory Activated (FA) and Gel batteries. BS-Battery product range fully cover the entire Powersport market: More than 200 battery types have been developed (+ 200 relative with acid pack) FACTORY ACTIVATED (SLA) These batteries have all the features of a Maintenance Free with increased power due to a radial grid design and additional plates. ELECTRICAL THE MAIN ADVANTAGES OF SLA BATTERIES ARE : Factory activated and ready to go Higher life cycle (up to three times longer than conventional batteries) Easy to install (no risk of acid filling leak) Plate sulfatation minimized These batteries are perfectly suitable for motorcycles, scooters, ATVs (All Terrain Vehicles), UTVs (Utility Vehicles), watercrafts, snowmobiles and lawnmowers. MAINTENANCE FREE (MF) This technology also called VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) represents sealed batteries with gas recombination which brings less maintenance with no water refilling needs. These batteries are supplied with acid pack, and would be activated by filling the acid before first use. THE MAIN ADVANTAGES OF MF BATTERIES ARE : Reduction of plate sulfatation Higher life cycle (up to three times longer than conventional batteries) Less maintenance (no water refilling needs) Longer voltage hold These batteries are perfectly suitable for motorcycles, scooters, ATVs (All Terrain Vehicles), UTVs (Utility Vehicles), watercrafts, snowmobiles and lawnmowers. CONVENTIONAL Conventional batteries are lead acid flooded batteries. These batteries could be delivered dry charged with or without acid pack, and need to be filled before first use. Conventional High Performance batteries include a sulfatation retardant technology which reduces battery-killing plate sulfatation. This means longer life for the batteries, especially in standby or storage mode. These batteries are perfectly suitable for motorcycles, scooters, ATVs (All Terrain Vehicles), UTVs (Utility Vehicles), watercrafts, snowmobiles and lawnmowers. web: www.staniforths.co.uk | Email: [email protected] 244 BATTERY TECHNICAL FEATURES FACTORY ACTIVATED (FULLY SEALED FROM FACTORY) HEAVY DUTY CONVENTIONAL (YUMICRON) BATTERY REF VOLS CAP DIMENSONS TERM ASSEMBLY BATTERY REF VOLS CAP DIMENSONS TERM ASSEMBLY (AH)LWHTYPE LAYOUT (AH)LWHTYPE LAYOUT BTR4ABS 12 2.3 114 49 86 I BB25LC2 12 2.5 80 70 105 Wires BTZ6S 12 5 113 70 105 A BB3LA 12 3 98 56 110 B BT7B4 12 6.5 150 65 93 A BB3LB 12 3 98 56 110 B BTZ7S 12 6 113 70 105 A BB4LA 12 4 120 70 92 A BT9B4 12 8 150 70 105 A BB4LB 12 4 120 70 92 A BTZ10S 12 8.6 150 87 93 A BB5LB 12 5 120 60 130 B BT12ABS* 12 9.5 150 87 105 A BB7A 12 8 135 75 133 B BT12B4 12 10 150 69 130 A BB7CA 12 8 130 90 114 E ELECTRICAL BTZ12S 12 11 150 87 110 A BB9AA 12 9 135 75 155 B BT14B4 12 12 150 70 145 A BB9B 12 9 135 75 139 B BTZ14S 12 11.2 150 87 110 A BB9LA2 12 9 135 75 139 F BCP1812 12 18 180 75 165 G BB9LB 12 9 135 75 139 B BB10LA2 12 11 135 90 145 D BB10LB 12 11 135 90 145 B BB10LB2 12 11 135 90 145 D BB12AA 12 12 134 80 160 B BB12AB 12 12 134 80 160 B BB12ALA2 12 12 134 80 160 B BB12BB2 12 12 160 90 130 D BB14A2 12 14 134 89 166 D BB14B2 12 14 134 89 166 D BB14LA2 12 14 134 89 166 D BB14LB2 12 14 134 89 166 D BB16ALA2 12 16 20771.5 164 F MAINTENANCE FREE (SUPPLIED WITH ACID PACK) BB16B 12 19 175 100 155 B BATTERY REF VOLS CAP DIMENSONS TERM ASSEMBLY (AH)LWHTYPE LAYOUT BB16BA 12 16 160 90 161 A BB16CLB 12 19 175 100 175 A BTZ10SBS 12 8.6 150 87 93 A BB16LA2 12 16 175 100 156 F BTZ12SBS 12 11 150 87 110 A BB16LB 12 19 175 100 155 B BT12ABS 12 9.5 150 87 105 A BB18LA 12 18 180 90 162 C BT12BBS 12 10 150 69 130 A BB18LA2 12 18 180 90 162 C BT14BBS 12 12 150 70 145 A B50N18LA2 12 20 205 90 162 C BTX4LBS 12 3 114 71 86 A B50N18LA3 12 20 205 90 162 A BTX5LBS 12 4 114 71 106 A B60N24LA2 12 28 185 125 176 G BTX7ABS 12 6 150 87 94 A BTX7LBS 12 6 114 71 131 A BTX9BS 12 8 150 87 105 A BTX12BS 12 10 150 87 130 A BTX12LBS 12 10 150 87 130 A BTX14BS 12 12 150 87 145 A BTX16BS 12 14 150 87 161 A BTX18LBS 12 225 85 165 A BTX20BS 12 18 175 87 155 A BTX20LBS 12 18 175 87 155 A 245 telephone: 0114 2462027 | Fax: 0114 2454232 BATTERY TECHNICAL FEATURES CONVENTIONAL (SUPPLIED WITH ACID PACK) BATTERY REF VOLS CAP DIMENSONS TERM ASSEMBLY (AH)LWHTYPE LAYOUT B6CB83B 6 8 120 70 95 B6N22A 6 2 70 47 96 B6N22A8 6 2 70 47 96 B6N42A 6 4 71 71 96 B6N42A4 6 4 71 71 96 B6N42A5 6 4 71 71 96 B6N42A7 6 4 71 71 96 B6N4A4D 6 4 61 57 131 ELECTRICAL B6N4B2A 6 4 102 48 96 B6N4B2A3 6 4 102 48 96 B6N4B2A4 6 4 102 48 96 B6N551D 6 5.5 90 70 100 B6N61C 6 6 99 57 111 B6N61D2 6 6 99 57 111 B6N63B 6 6 99 57 111 B B6N63B1 6 6 99 57 111 B B6N112D 6 11 150 70 100 B B6N11A1B 6 11 122 62 131 B B6N12A2C 6 12 156 57 116 B B6N12A2D 6 12 156 57 116 B BS Battery BTZ10S for new 2013 MV Agusta F3 & Brutale models.
