BS Battery - "powering the racing world"
French battery and charger specialist BS Battery (Benjamin Sebban) has been a technical partner with the Yamaha GMT94 racing team for six years.
With the new World Superbike Championship season getting underway, the independent three-time FIM Endurance World Championship-winning team has a new rider in Philipp Öttl (German, #5), aiming for podiums on his latest-spec Yamaha R1.
That spec includes power delivered by a unique lithium battery developed in collaboration with BS Battery. For the 2024 FIM World Supersport Championship season, two-time World Champion Lucas Mahias will ride his Yamaha YZF-R6 - also powered by BS Battery, with a BSLi-02 lithium battery.
Racing has been core to the BS Battery DNA since 2017, expanding its technical sponsorship and R&D programmes in road race, enduro and rally racing. The partnership with Yamaha GMT94 "acts as a real added value for technical development and performance improvement," says Benjamin. "We know the demands that the racing environment places on batteries and now have the most advanced real-world solutions to make our lithium battery the most robust and reliable available."
"Our lithium batteries have a unique design with robust brass terminals and a composite fibre material case that can resist up to -230 degrees C. These batteries are lightweight with an extensive life cycle, covering most of the existing circulating park fitments - with 14 models in the range," explained Product Manager Romain Menduni.
"Thanks to such solid technical racing partnerships with leading racers and teams, we will be able to continue to test our products under extreme racing conditions and develop increasingly innovative lithium technology."
