SHIDO dual charger with DC 1.0 and DC 4.0 options
Among its internationally recognised product lines , Belgium headquartered DC AFAM is owner and master distributor of the SHIDO line of batteries and chargers . " SHIDO lithium batteries offer an excellent level of performance , but to gain the best from them , they need to be charged correctly ". DC AFAM has developed its own SHIDO chargers for motorcycle and powersport applications and SHIDO dual battery chargers come with a unique and optimised algorithm , which allows for a safe charge of both lithium LiFePO4 and lead-acid batteries . " One of the key things to know ," says DC AFAM ' s Davy Dousselaere , " is that charging a deeply discharged lithium battery (< 10V ) should be done very carefully , starting with applying very low current . Applying high current from the start on discharged lithium batteries will cause premature failure . " Also , chargers where the voltage goes above 15 volt for a certain period of time will severely damage your lithium battery . Our SHIDO dual chargers will also be maintaining the charge on the battery after the charging is completed . " Every four hours the charger will check the voltage . When battery voltage drops below 1 ., 8 volt , the charger will start applying charge again . We can now recommend SHIDO chargers for lithium and leadacid batteries in all confidence ." They are designed with a clear split between lithium and lead-acid charging modes and battery recovery for deeply discharged batteries , battery health check after charging , maintaining mode and protection against reverse polarity , overcharging , overcurrent , overheating and short-circuits . There is user-friendly detection for reverse polarity , low-voltage or damaged batteries . SHIDO chargers are IP 65 rated ( waterproof ) and adjust for varying A / C line voltage to deliver consistent charging current . On the SHIDO DC 4.0 charger , there is a specific AGM mode for sealed batteries , a high quality and clear digital screen with live voltage reading and a hook attachment . They are suitable for 6V and 12V batteries - choose between 1A and 4A .

Eleveit ' s T-Spirit EVO was described when it was launched earlier this year as a model that is " about to become a ' must-have ' for all those who love both to face long journeys or travel on dusty dirt roads immersed in wild nature ". " Using the same technology as the popular X-Legend off-road boot , breathability , comfort and protection are the qualities that Eleveit ' s designers have been looking for with the T-Spirit EVO ". The upper is in microfibre with nubuck leather finishes for comfort and increased resistance to abrasion and the neck of the boot also has ergonomic and soft protection to make the fit safe and comfortable . Numerous PU protections are positioned in the ankle and tibia areas as well as thermoformed material protections in the toe and heel . The classic protection in the shift lever area is repeated in the left and right , with an internal suede leather heat shield to increase grip . The sole is in two-component , two-tone highperformance rubber , but Eleveit says that the real plus
of the T-Spirit EVO WP is the E-Dry membrane used inside for maximum waterproofness . Closure is with three interchangeable and adjustable TPU buckles .
