Intact Bike Power Battery GEL C60-N30L-A
The intAct Bike-Power GEL batteries are the ideal choice for motorcyclists who need the highest starting power for demanding machines. These batteries offer up to 30% more starting power than conventional wet batteries and are therefore ideally suited for modern motorcycles with many electrical consumers. The electrolyte fixed in gel makes the batteries particularly vibration-resistant, leak-proof and absolutely maintenance-free. Therefore, they can be installed without any problems even in inclined positions of up to 90 degrees. The series includes around 30 different battery types, covering approximately 90% of all common motorcycle batteries.
The intAct Bike-power GEL batteries are filled and charged and therefore immediately ready for use. Thanks to their low self-discharge, they are also suitable for seasonal use and provide sufficient power for the starting process even after long periods of standing. With their OEM quality and very high vibration resistance, they are a reliable choice for demanding motorcyclists.

Information about treatment and care of their battery
A battery is only an energy store and any energy removed must be immediately 100% returned to it by the generator of the vehicle or externally by a charger, if the energy balance by short-time use or by generally few operating times with longer standstill phases rather negative.
To ensure a long service life of the battery, you should note the following:
- Use the battery only for its intended purpose (starter batteries to start and operate a vehicle with internal combustion engine).
- The surface of the battery must be kept clean and dry, no oils or liquids must be deposited on it to avoid the formation of leakage currents that can cause significant self-discharge.
- Check the battery level, if possible, at least every 6 months and refill purified water if necessary (do not refill accumulator acid).
- In case of high water loss, please have the function of the charge controller checked by a specialist. With optimal installation location and normal requirements, your battery will use little to no water, but these factors vary greatly depending on use.
If your vehicle tends to have a negative energy balance due to its use (short trips - longer periods of standing high comfort equipment - start-stop operation), the battery charge level should be checked at necessary intervals (2 - 3 months).
In order to always have sufficient starting safety and not to initiate damage to the battery, it should always be charged to at least 75%. This can be determined with the quiescent voltage or with an acid lifter.
Resting voltage:
12.51 V - 12.57 V = 75% charged
12.69 V - 12.75 V = 100% charged
Acid density:
1.25 kg/l = 75% charged
1.28 kg/l = 100% charged
This state of charge should have the battery at least, even if you still work with less, but this is always on the account of the shelf life.
Optimal would be 100% charge - for 100% benefit!
Since today's generation of vehicles places a significantly higher electrical demand on the battery, (due to your extensive comfort and electronic equipment) it can quickly come to a negative energy balance even with newer vehicles. When the amount of energy generated is mostly required by the on-board network and the remaining amount is not enough to fully charge the battery.
For vehicles that are only seasonally in use (convertibles, motorcycles, tractors, harvesting vehicles, construction machinery and construction vehicles), the same must be observed for the battery with regard to charging as described above.
Check the charge (open circuit voltage) of your battery at least every 2 months and recharge if necessary. Every battery is subject to self-discharge due to the constantly running chemical process, which inevitably leads to deep discharge of your battery if this is not compensated by charging. If this is still connected to the vehicle, the discharge may be even faster, as the vehicle may also be consuming standby current. It is best to disconnect the battery.
Deep discharge is not a warranty but always self-inflicted and usually associated with the total failure of the battery.
The ideal temperature to store a battery over a standing period is 10 - 15 degrees. Higher temperatures accelerate self-discharge and loss of water.
Eternal life has the battery nevertheless not - the capacity is used up at some point.
Always full charge + normal load = slow capacity degradation.
Insufficient charge + high load = rapid capacity degradation.
