MOTOBATT Battery MB51814 The typical design of powersports batteries available on the market has not changed for many years. MOTOBATT has asked its customers and studied the market to find out how powersports batteries are commonly used. The top requirements were: 1. High starting loads and more than ever before 2. Additional loads due to high performance accessories 3. Covering as many battery types as possible with one model Many of the requirements are met by different manufacturers through a higher cold start current (CCA). However, little is gained by providing a higher cold start current than is actually required for your motorcycle. The design of a battery always requires a compromise because the physical battery size is limited by the container size. It follows that the higher the cold start current (CCA) (increased number of thinner plates), the less ampere hours (Ah) it gets - and vice versa. The key to success is to develop a battery that achieves a balance between maximum c...
