‘Plug & Play’ SLA batteries
French specialist BS Battery has launched the ‘SLA’
battery range - a “comprehensive line of sealed,
activated and ready to start batteries that are the
right solution for dealers and their customers,” says
General Manager Benjamin Sebban.
“With no more acid to handle during the initial
battery activation procedure, the ‘SLA’ concept is the
ultimate user-friendly motorcycle battery solution –
true “Plug & Play”.
Featuring AGM technology (Absorbed Glass
Material), Benjamin says that the ‘SLA’ range is
“designed for higher performance and extended life,
providing premium quality and improved safety.”
They are available in standard and heavy-duty
versions - for larger capacity machines that need
higher cranking amps, such as BMW and Harley-
Davidson models.
BS has a full line of 50 ’SLA’ battery types, covering
more than 85% of the motorcycles currently on the
roads in Europe. They are 100% sealed for easier and
safer transportation, handling and installation.
Proud 2018 sponsor of French MotoGP rider Johann
Zarco, BS Battery also sells a wide range of lead acid
batteries for powersport applications - motorcycle,
scooter, ATV, snowmobile, and jet ski. The company
operates in 54 countries worldwide and is an OEM
as well as aftermarket vendor, supplying batteries for
various major motorcycle, scooter and ATV
manufacturers.

Macna ‘Vosges’ 3-layer modular
jacket with ‘Night Eye’
Dutch apparel specialist Splash Design has
introduced the ‘Vosges’ jacket to its top-
selling Macna line.
Described as a “true all-road jacket, ready
to hit the road and probably some dirt,
too”, it is said to be “packed with lots of
smart innovations and offers a great deal of
comfort and functionality to the
adventurous touring rider”.
It features a 3-layer system, with removable
Raintex membrane and the warm thermo
liner, and ventilation panels on the chest
and zips on the arms for extra airflow that
exits on the back of the jacket. For cold
weather riding the ‘Vosges’ is prepared for
Macna’s optional battery operated ‘Hot
Vest’ – the battery will provide up to three
hours of heat (subject to setting).
Additional features include an adjustable
‘Comfix’ collar, and ‘Vosges’ is wind collar
prepared, has trouser connection zips,
attachable LED light for night-time visibility,
reflection panels and Macna’s exclusive and
award-winning ‘Night Eye’ fabric – a
coating of tiny, reflective beads that makes
the rider clearly seen in traffic headlights
even on the darkest nights.
There are ‘Safe Tech’ CE protectors at the
shoulders and elbows and a back pocket for
56
the optional CE back protector; arm
adjustment straps; ‘Easy Cuff’ makes sure
there’s no loop/snap tangle at the end of
the sleeve - just a small zip to attach the
membrane to the outer shell.
