"Proven to be the best manufacturer for lithium starter batteries in the motorsport and tuning markets, it proves that Landport is a real battery specialist, covering all different markets. Together we're sure we will make this agreement a big success!"
With a capacity range of 10Ah - 50Ah (12V) and various case size options, the XCEL-Lite range is "engineered to meet the requirements of high compression and highly tuned engines," says Tim. "The Braille XCEL-Lite range is a unique and uniquely powerful series of high-performance lithium-ion starter batteries that are designed specifically to provide enormous cranking amps while still remaining ultra-lightweight."
"These batteries deliver exceptional starting capacity and provide tremendous weight savings over traditional lead-acid battery technologies," says Oliver Fall. "In fact, they last up to 3-5 times longer than lead-acid batteries (AGM), making them a smart investment for any racing team or high-performance enthusiast - with all the benefits of their lighter weight."
The XCEL-Lite range is designed to fit original equipment replacement sizing, ensuring a hassle-free installation process. They are also engineered to provide excellent resistance to shock and vibration, ensuring reliable performance in even the most demanding conditions.
"Braille takes great pride in its handcrafted manufacturing process, which takes place in the USA. This allows it to maintain the highest levels of quality control and ensures that every battery it produces meets its rigorous standards."
Oliver added that "in addition to their impressive performance capabilities, the XCEL-Lite range also features low self-discharge rates, making them an excellent choice for out-of-season storage. This allows users to store their battery for extended periods of time without worrying about it losing its charge."
