Spring air whets the appetite for outdoor activities

Start the outdoor season with Banner batteries

The arrival of spring awakens the longing for outdoor, leisure activities and quite literally, nature lovers simply cannot wait to get started. Therefore, Banner provides valuable tips and a wide range of batteries to ensure that the removal from winter storage of leisure vehicles runs smoothly and the start of the season is as stress-free as possible.

Leonding, 12.3.2024. Not only motorbikes, scooters or mopeds, but also campers, caravans, motorhomes, ATVs/quads, jet skis and tractor mowers require appropriate starter battery maintenance in spring. Optimised charging after a demanding winter can prevent annoying breakdowns or starting problems.

A power-packed start to the two-wheeler season

As battery experts of Banner explain, “If the recommendation to maintain the bike battery retention charge is neglected, after winter storage the battery quite frequently requires replacement. Moreover, even locating the battery often presents owners with a challenge.” In most cases, the battery is hidden under the seat or the panelling, sometimes in a plastic box or a thermal protection cover. Therefore, Banner recommends the use of a tilt- and leak-proof battery from the Bike Bull GEL or AGM PRO series for any type of installation, but especially for batteries with a lateral or inclined positioning.

On-board-power with hobby and leisure batteries

In particular, sailing and e-boats, yachts, motorhomes, camping and caravan vehicles should be made ready for the season. Suitable power suppliers for these applications can be found in Banner's Energy Bull, Running Bull and Traction Bull Bloc product families. If the object in question has not been used for a prolonged period, it is essential that the starter and on-board power supply batteries be checked. It is advisable to regularly measure the open-circuit voltage with a battery tester or voltmeter. A maximum discharge depth of 50 per cent can significantly maximise battery service life expectancy, which as a rule decreases in line with discharge depth.

Correct charging is crucial for a long battery life

Irrespective of whether batteries for hobbies or tractor mowers for lawn care in public parks or private gardens are involved, charging plays an important role in every area of application. Banner recommends voltage-regulated chargers from its Accucharger series, as these guarantee optimum charge retention. As experts of Banner stress, “These chargers are ideal for longer downtimes such as vehicle storage in winter and guarantee a reliable source of energy for renewed use in spring.”
