Aliant ‘YLP’ lithium batteries feature improved cold start power, reduced weight and space saving design
Imola based Italian battery technology specialist Aliant has introduced a new ‘YLP’ range of ultra light weight and ultra compact lithium starter batteries.
The company says that this family of Italian designed, engineered and assembled batteries has been specifically designed for motorcycle use, with exclusive features such as an average 20% weight and 30-40% size saving compared to other lithium batteries.
Project Manager Davide Dal Pozzo told IDN that “the embedded BMS (Battery Management System) is a cell-optimising, microprocessor-controlled electronic board that has been designed especially for starter applications, to extend battery life, and make the batteries compatible with some lead acid chargers - a very important and convenient feature for workshops and riders.
“These batteries can deliver up to 12,000 starts and some 3,000 or more complete charging cycles, and are compatible with many of the most popular chargers and maintainers on the market. However they can also be quick-charged in less than 2 minutes with our own design of dedicated 10Amp charger.”
Davide told IDN that the motorcycle starter battery project started in 2009 and in that time the company has already progressed to a third generation of Lithium Iron design, based on LiFe P04 technology.
“ The company has really focused its efforts on low temperature performance and durability. These latest Lithium Iron Phosphate cells have been improved to supply high cranking current, right down to -10°C here in Europe, especially in Northern, Central and Eastern Europe, and especially on large displacement motorcycles. This is a major factor that, in our view, other Lithium battery designs simply are not addressing as effectively as we believe we are.
“We can be a reliable long-term partner for importers/distributors and their dealers because we have control over the product design and specifications; this means our customers can be assured that we will always be working hard to keep our products ahead and be able to offer them state-of-the-art solutions.”
The YLP series features five models that replace all the lead acid batteries from 4 to 18Ah.
Davide told IDN that the company is looking for international importer/distributor partners as well as dealers.
