Brief technical information.
Motorcycle batteries for modern bikes are
specially designed to provide high power in a compact size and
weight. Consequently these can be quite fragile, especially if
charged at too high a rate, which can damaged the internal plates.
This is why a domestic auto charger should not be used on motorcycle
batteries.
The Acumen technology automatically initiates a
recovery mode if required, which utilizes a higher initial voltage.
 Once normal charging is completed, an algorithm
based optimizing mode allows the battery to fluctuate between 13.4v
and 13.8v. In this way the battery can be safely, permanently
connected to the charger without worry that is boiling dry!
As it uses a minute current to maintain the charge, this means the
cost of electricity is negligible

Why You Need
an Acumen
Smart Charger....
Why is it that my motorcycle is brilliantly
engineered, can take me around the world, even my 10 year-old Suzuki
fires straight up whenever I want it, but any battery on any
motorcycle seems to die in a couple of years?!!
This is inconvenient, as the chances are we only find out when we
are ready to go for a ride.
But most of all is the cost - I just got a quote
for $100 for a small dual-sport battery! And unlike the old days
when batteries came in two or three sizes, today they all seem to be
special sizes.
All this cost and bother is avoidable.
By connecting a Smart Charger to your bike when it’s in the garage,
your battery is maintained to it’s optimum charged condition - and
avoids prevents the gradual drain to dead that kills batteries
making them unable to be recharged.
You can safely keep you bike charged in the garage for pennies a
year, and ensure it is ready to go when you are. This can extend the
life of a battery many times over.
Many sales pitches talk of ‘an investment’, but the Acumen
Platinum really is an investment that will save you money and time. |
