Powerful, reliable and robust: New M4 and M6 motorbike batteries from Bosch

· Improved cold-start performance and reliable power supply

· With corresponding acid pack for filling batteries

· Premium M6 range with AGM technology for increased lifetime

The new, robust M4 and M6 motorbike batteries from Bosch are specially designed for motorbike use. The M6 motorbike batteries from Bosch with modern AGM technology are completely leak-proof, extremely shakeproof, and maintenance free. Owing to their high capacitance and electrical values during cold starts, they are particularly suited for motorbikes that are subject to extreme forces such as off-road enduros. The Bosch M4 batteries with lead-antimony technology have high safety reserves and reliable starting power. A corresponding acid pack for filling the batteries is included with all types of the M6 and M4 range. The Bosch M4 and M6 batteries are ideal for almost all European, Japanese, and American motorbike types and models and for quad-bikes, jet skis, snowmobiles, and lawn mowers.

The AGM technology ensures that the new M6 premium batteries from Bosch are completely leak-proof and extremely shakeproof. The AGM technology of the Bosch M6 battery is based on a web of fine micro fiber glass, which tightly binds the sulfuric acid in the lead accumulators to prevent leakage. The fiber glass webs are positioned between the lead plates and absorb almost all of the electrolyte. This means the battery cannot leak because it is virtually dry inside. Compared to normal motorbike batteries, the M6 batteries have a 20% longer service life. The M6 batteries ensure reliable starts even after long idle periods and in extreme weather conditions. Owing to the minimal water consumption of the M6 batteries, there is no need to top up the water for the entire service life. The batteries must be filled with acid before start up. The supplied acid pack contains a filling aid, which allows the battery to be filled simply and easily.

The wide range of M4 batteries from Bosch is suitable for almost all motorbikes. The M4 batteries have a long service life even under the most difficult conditions. The lead-antimony technology ensures reliable starts in all weather and allows low-maintenance operation. To re-fill the distilled water, the M4 batteries can be opened and then closed again. The M4 batteries are delivered including acid packs and a practical filling aid which makes it easier to fill the batteries with acid.
