PRO GuIDe Battery Tender Li-ion with BMS and activation switch Florida based Deltran's new Battery Tender brand next generation Lithium batteries are said to be "safer, smarter, lighter weight and deliver longer battery life," according to Clinton Green, VP Sales for North America. "The advantages of Lithium-ion batteries are immense," says Clinton. "Increased fuel economy, a constant current compared to the variable current you can get from AGM batteries, up to four times longer battery life and a 99% more efficient charge and up to two times lighter than the equivalent conventional battery are just some of the most obvious advantages." Features of the Battery Tender Lithium include quad terminals providing for accessory hook-up options; Smart Battery Management System (BMS) that monitors, optimises and protects the battery; a battery activation wire that connects the battery activation switch to the BMS; a fireproof coating for thermal protection - an engineered mechanism that supports high current flow during voltage discharge - and an IP67 water and dust resistant bottom case with high melting point. The BMS detects possible overcharge or discharge and will shut off the battery to prevent permanent battery damage; the user can reactivate the Lithium battery by pressing the battery activation switch on the quick disconnect cable to allow the battery to be charged again with a Battery Tender Lithium-specific 'Holeshot' hoodie charger. The quick disconnect cable has three terminals - one to positive, one to negative and the third to the battery activation switch. In addition to its S-Line own brand helmets programme ('Venge' S441 full-face, S770 'Kyle' jet, American design SWAP’S Industry S818 MX style), French specialist Sifam has added to its apparel programme with this 'Holeshot' hoodie for men - "an urban and casual jacket that protects." Made of thick and reinforced cotton (Dupont Kevlar), the 'Holeshot' is "extremely soft and protective with an elastic hem at the base and cuffs for a perfect fit. It is designed for comfortable and safe riding". Further features include CE approved elbow and shoulder protectors with a pocket for an optional CE back protector, and additionally has Dupont Kevlar reinforcements at the elbows, shoulders and back "for better resistance to abrasion".

The accessory range also includes two other models, the B34 and B330, with different dimensions and load capacity. The top case of the GIVI Monolock line is known for its flowing contours and a rounded design, but the shape of the B32 BOLD breaks this mould with a satin silver band. The 32 litre load capacity with a maximum load of 3 kg can accommodate a full-face helmet (405 x 303 x 433 mm L x H x D). Similar sized top cases, but with a more "traditional" design, are the B34 (34 litre capacity, 425 x 340 x 455 mm) and B330 (33 litre capacity, 436 x 314 x 440 mm) models, both available in the "Tech" version and customisable with covers in different shades. All three new S903A smartphone support 34 AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2019 models include a rack and universal fitting kit, with an optional security lock. GIVI has also designed the new S903A smartphone support (Smart Mount RC) to be directly attached to the rectangular shaped brake/clutch reservoir and says it is "highly appreciated by owners of maxi- scooters lacking rear mirrors on the handlebars such as the T-Max and the Burgman 650, as well as the Forza 125/300, and by many other motorcycle owners with difficult to adapt supports". The positioning flanking the bike avoids obscuring the instrument panel and makes it less vulnerable to knocks and bumps compared to installation on the rear mirror arm. Now motorcycles equipped with handlebar halves and rear mirrors positioned on the fairings can use this support if they have a rectangular oil reservoir cover. It is made from aluminium, CNC-machined from solid, successively micro shot peened, polished, anodised and laser-branded. The grooves on the base act as both a weight saving feature and as slots to enable installation on the brake/clutch oil reservoir B32 BOLD cover. There are three specific screw kits available and it allows a wide range of adjustment. GIVI S.P.A. Flero (BS), ITALY Tel: [phone] [email protected] www.givimoto.it www.idnmag.com
