ATLANTA, May 1 /PRNewswire/ -- GNB Technologies has expanded its
Champion(R) brand line of starting batteries to include motorcycle batteries.
For the first time, there is a Champion(R) brand battery, with the distinctive
red and black bow-tie logo, available for virtually any bike on the road.
Champion(R) motorcycle batteries, available in a range of group sizes and
cranking amps, fit more than 90 percent of all the motorcycles, scooters and
mopeds on the market, including European models. They also fit ATVs, personal
watercraft, snowmobiles and riding lawnmowers.
"Sales of our Champion(R) brand automotive, heavy-duty and marine
batteries show that consumers recognize the value behind the bow-tie logo,"
said Steve Purcell, vice president of marketing, for GNB. "It's a logical
extension for us to brand our premium motorcycle batteries with the Champion
bow-tie," he said.
Part of the allure of motorcycles comes from feeling the power of being
one with the machine and the road. Champion(R) motorcycle batteries supply
15 percent more power than competitive brands, according to tests conducted by
an independent laboratory. More power means greater reliability, longer
battery life and additional capacity to handle extra electronic accessories
like radios, music systems and lights.
No cyclist wants to spend precious free time on extensive maintenance.
Champion(R) premium sealed motorcycle batteries feature gas recombination
technology that makes them waterproof, spillproof and maintenance-free. And
for added safety, special negative plates never give off gas during normal
charging. Champion(R) sealed batteries hold their specific gravity three
times longer than conventional batteries and are fitted with a special
sulfation retardant to fight battery-killing sulfation on plates. This adds
up to longer life and better performance, which means more time on the road
and less time in the garage.
Champion(R) unsealed motorcycle batteries are designed for maximum
starting power with easy maintenance. Advanced separator and
through-the-partition construction reduces resistance, which boosts cranking
power. A special lead/calcium alloy reduces self-discharge for superior
starting power even after months in storage. A durable, transparent cover
protects against seepage and corrosion while making it easy to check
electrolyte levels, so maintenance is a breeze.
The GNB Web site (http://www.gnb.com) features extensive information on
motorcycle and other batteries, battery recycling, and a unique battery
selector for a broad range of makes and model vehicles.
