The super-light LP Lithium Ion batteries weigh between 0.4kg and 1.5kg. This represents a massive weight saving over standard lead acid motorbike batteries, which generally weigh around 4-5kg but can be as heavy as 8.7kg.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to an innovative design, featuring four terminals instead of the usual two, just eight part numbers cover virtually every post-2004 bike engine on UK roads. They are also suitable for a wide range of leisure applications, such as quad bikes, jet skis, golf carts, garden machinery and of course, KITCARS.<\/p>\n<p>Martin Gray, chief executive officer (CEO) of Euro Car Parts, said: \u201cGiven the amount bikers spend on carbon fibre parts, the ability to gain such a weight advantage from a battery is a big plus. Further still, because the Lithium Ion units are solid, with no risk of spills, they can be fitted in any position, even upside down. They will accept a faster charge too, so they\u2019re a great all-round upgrade.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Buy direct from Euro Car Parts, either via <a href=\"https:\/\/eurocarparts.com\/\">eurocarparts.com<\/a> or in-store. The website features a nearest store finder and shoppers using the \u2018Click &amp; Collect\u2019 service can pick up their parts at their local branch within 15-minutes of placing an order online.<\/p>\n<p>Please note: Lithium batteries require special chargers. Fortunately, Euro Car Parts stocks these too, along with a huge range of other motorcycle parts and accessories.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Euro Car Parts, official prime battery supplier to the RAC, has launched a new range of Lithium Ion motorcycle batteries by leading European distributor Landport <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/2016\/04\/22\/bike-power\/\" title=\"BIKE POWER\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9961","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9961","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9961"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9961\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9961"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9961"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9961"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
