How to choose a good motorcycle battery︱GEM Battery

The battery is the heart of the motorcycle. The battery determines your motorcycle's performance and your ability to enjoy a smooth and exciting ride.

what should motorcycle battery voltage be ? Many motorcycle batteries on the market are 12V,a normal 12V lead-acid motorcycle battery is made up of a plastic case containing six ‘cells’. Each cell is made up of a set of lead ‘plates’ – lead for the negative plate and lead-oxide for the positive plate – which are immersed in a sulphuric acid and water solution called ‘electrolyte’. The biggest difference between different lead acid batteries is how that sulphuric acid is stored in the battery.



How long will a motorcycle battery last ? There are two main types of batteries used in motorcycles – AGM batteries and conventional acid batteries. The consensus is, with a sealed AGM battery, you can expect an average lifespan of 3-5 years, but it could last up to 8 years if it’s been maintained. A conventional acid battery, on the other hand, has an average lifespan of 2-3 years, maxing out around the 5-year mark if it’s been maintained.


As you can see, these are pretty significant differences in lifespan. There are a few things to be aware of so you can get the best out of your battery.

1、Keeping Batteries Charged Up

2、Inspecting the Battery

3、Never Drain A Battery Completely


GEM Battery I MCSA series batteries have been manufactured, developed and upgraded over decades to meet various general purposes of motorcycles of different models and capacities.The battery capacity of MCSA Series are 12V4AH,12V5AH, 12V6.5AH, 12V7AH, 12V9AH, 12V14AH, 12V20AH, 12V28AH, 12V30AH.


Tips for good motorcycle battery maintenance:

1、Visually inspect your battery. All motorcycle batteries should be checked at least once per month.


2、Clean the terminals. The terminals should be cleaned to prevent corrosion which can cause problems starting the bike.  Cleaning regularly prevents the buildup of dirt and sediments.


3、Check the terminals a minimum of once per month to ensure that connectors are not loose. Loose connectors can mean the bike will not start or it will start only intermittently. They should also be checked after minor accidents or spills.


4、Inspect your battery for leaks. Regular maintenance also entails looking out for leaks or checking if they are wet. Sometimes water can get inside the casing and cause the metal connectors to rust. Leakage can indicate problems so it should be dealt with immediately.


5、If using regular motorcycle batteries, the electrolyte cells should be topped up with distilled water. The water level should be checked at least once every other week. Use the minimum and maximum markers etched inside the cells as a guide. Distilled water is recommended simply because it has no impurities in it. It therefore means that batteries do not need to work as hard to perform and they last longer as a result.


6、Keep your battery charged. Motorcycle batteries should be charged once per week. Allowing them to be completely exhausted will only shorten their life and impact their performance. While they can be jump-started like car batteries, it is always better to just take care of them so this will be unnecessary.
