All bikes called old bikes “Battery Revolution in Progress” AGM&GEL Pro Battery is incredibly amazing

Those using open-type batteries are almost forcibly being switched to MF.
Open-type batteries have nothing but drawbacks and virtually no merits.

ProSelect’s AGM/GEL batteries
can be used as-is for those using open-type batteries.
Unlike lithium batteries, there’s no need to replace the regulator.
If you’re still using an open-type battery now, I think it’s fine to replace it right away.

Just replace it as-is and it becomes MF

Mach, Z, Katana, and GSX-R should all be switched to ProSelect batteries at lightning speed.

Open-type batteries have various drawbacks.

  • Electrolyte refilling is necessary
  • Electrolyte mist is coming out from around the cap
  • Hydrogen gas is coming out from the battery breather
  • Corrosion around the area is unavoidable
  • Battery breather hose must be kept away from open flames
  • When charging, the electrolyte decreases, so remove it before charging
  • The price is surprisingly expensive

Since they rust and require a lot of maintenance, honestly I don’t think there’s any merit to using them.
The only merit I can think of is that they might somehow recover more easily? Last longer? That’s just the image.

If you want to maintain your motorcycle cleanly, simply, and easily, you should definitely switch to MF.

You should choose a battery from a brand with fewer issues

Ruining a battery and it breaking are different matters.

Most people probably ruined it rather than it breaking I think.
The worst thing is
when the battery breaks due to being completely discharged repeatedly.
Motorcycle batteries have relatively small capacity
and will fail if left disconnected from the vehicle for extended periods.

Charging occasionally and riding the bike regularly is important.

This ProSelect battery is handled by Custom Japan in Kansai.
We’ve sold quite a few using this battery, and so far there have been zero issues.
In the past, a certain brand’s batteries would break three times in a row? Or were they broken from the start? That happened often.
Of course you get a replacement under warranty, but “in the end the customer doesn’t want this battery anymore”
There are products in this world
that are beyond the level of having a warranty or not.

If the battery breaks, you won’t be able to ride anymore even if you’re out, so please choose something reliable.

Drawbacks of open-type batteries

Battery electrolyte constantly decreases, so refilling is necessary.
And you can’t charge the battery or check the fluid level without removing it.
Furthermore, when you refill the electrolyte, the voltage drops, so charging is also needed.

In other words, it’s a battery that requires a lot of hassle.

Hydrogen gas and dilute sulfuric acid mist are slightly emitted from the battery,
which corrodes the surrounding area.

The battery breather hose is quite important;
if it gets crushed in the layout, it puts pressure on the battery
or the hose can come off from the pressure and damage the harness and frame.

Also, during charging or after riding, hydrogen gas comes out from the breather hose,
so the battery can easily explode from sparks from a grinder.
It’s a battery that requires careful handling in many ways.

AGM battery with the same size that can be converted to MF as-is

You can get a wonderful battery that just needs to be removed and replaced at a reasonable price.
The terminal width is slightly different,
so depending on the model, some minor modifications may be needed.

It’s a wonderful battery that eliminates all drawbacks with just a simple replacement.
Furthermore, ProSelect batteries use GEL electrolyte even though they’re AGM, so horizontal mounting is also possible.

No special voltage control like a regulator is needed, so it’s simple.
A while back I was using WESTCO batteries,
but the price was fairly high and the terminal shape was special, so there was something to think about,
but with the spread of ProSelect batteries, battery selection has become much easier.

Just pay attention to the terminal direction and width.

The ProSelect battery is just slightly wider.
If the original battery terminal has been bent, you’ll need to make some adjustments.

If you don’t install the battery terminal so it makes full contact,
the battery’s effectiveness will be reduced.

All batteries come with initial charging and terminal nut sponge

If you keep the battery fully charged, the starting power and spark will be excellent!
Just having a fully charged battery makes a huge difference in feel

To prevent loss of the battery terminal nut and improve maintainability,
if you attach double-sided sponge under the nut, it will make things much easier going forward.

The beginning is crucial! A little effort now makes things easier later.

So that’s why you should switch your open battery to ProSelect battery!

If you’re using an open battery, try the AGM ProSelect battery once.
