Motorcycle Battery VTB-8 V-Twin JMT Lithium-Ion

High-tech for all V2 Twins from Harley

By replacing a standard lead-acid battery with a JMT lithium-ion battery, up to 5 kg of weight can be saved without significant effort.

The following advantages speak for JMT lithium-ion batteries:

- about 1/3 the weight of a comparable lead-acid battery

- unbeatable cost/weight savings ratio

- can be installed in any position, as no acid is contained

- contains no heavy metals

- balanced discharge/charge of all cells through balancer

- fast charging with high current possible (up to 90% in 6 min)

- very low self-discharge (max. 5% per month)

- still good performance at high temperatures up to 60°C

- safe technology and long lifespan

- special black, textured surface for optimal "look"

- very high cold start power

- excellent vibration resistance

- highly durable terminal connections ensure a trouble-free start and a long

lifespan

- delivery includes a terminal cover, also in black

Lead-acid batteries can only utilize 30% of their capacity due to their specific properties, while lithium-ion batteries can use nearly 100% of their capacity. For this reason, the lithium versions of JMT batteries require only 1/3 of the capacity of a comparable lead-acid battery for the same starting performance.

A uniform state of charge of all cells is also ensured by a built-in processor ("balancer").

Please note that only suitable chargers may be used for charging. We recommend JMP chargers. The maximum recommended charging currents can be found in the technical data below.

Under no circumstances should chargers be used that attempt to desulfate deeply discharged batteries below 10 volts with a voltage of more than 14.9 volts before they start the actual charging.

The maximum charging voltage of 14.9 volts must not be exceeded under any circumstances.

The manufacturer guarantees sufficient starting capacity down to -5 degrees Celsius.

Technology

JMT lithium-ion batteries use iron phosphate (LiFePO4) as cathode material and employ the lithium-polymer process in manufacturing. This means they cannot catch fire or explode under normal operating conditions.

The technology and manufacturing process ensure the highest safety standards for lithium batteries.
