Pre Order Information - Li-Ion Battery Range Now Available From VE (UK)

Mobile phones and other technologies have been using Li-Ion (Lithium Ion) batteries for years with great success due to their lack of memory effect, lower weight, lack of heavy metals, and fluid. VE (UK) are pleased to announce the arrival of this battery technology to the Scooter/Motorcycle world with a range of Li-Ion batteries suitable for most two wheeled applications.

The benefits of Li-Ion technology are impressive, with some of the key features listed below:

Weight:- on average a Li-Ion battery weighs around 1/3 of the weight of its lead acid equivalent.

No pollution:- Li-Ion batteries do not contain any acid or heavy metals like lead, cadmium or mercury, meaning that the batteries are more eco friendly.

No spills:- with no acid inside there is no chance of leaking corrosive fluids.

Improved cranking power:- Li-Ion batteries have on average four times the cranking power of a lead acid battery.

Fast charging:-  Li-Ion batteries can accept a charge rate of up to 28 amps (depending on model), with a battery charged to 90% of its capacity in around 6 minutes.

The battery’s also feature an built in charge indicator which displays the battery’s current state with a single press of a button. Combine this with a longer usable lifespan of over 2000 full discharge cycles compared to a conventional battery, which has a life span of just 150-300 cycles. Changing over to a Li-On battery makes great sense for the owner uses their machine extensively.

The publics consensus of the Li-Ion battery technology is well known to them, so expect your customers to be very interested in this battery range.
