Società Genarale Ricambi (SGR)

Energy Safe - transport-friendly AGM VRLA battery technology


Owned in Italy by Accu Italia, Energy Safe is a line of industrial and multi-application batteries produced by a company that can trace its origins back to the 1950s. More recently, the ES branded motorcycle battery programme was created in 2013 as a joint venture between Società Genarale Ricambi (SGR) and Accu Italia - two businesses with a shared heritage.

Accu Italia was founded by engineers Franco and Alberto Saporetti to distribute German made VRLA batteries with GEL technology. Fast forward, and SGR is owned by their descendants and operated by Chairman Andrea Saporetti.



For over thirty years, Energy Safe 6-12V batteries have had an excellent reputation for innovation, quality and reliability. Drawing on the R&D that has gone into making the brand, Energy Safe is a major player in the industrial sector. In motorcycle industry terms, that has given the ES brand the platform to build a range of increasingly efficient technological solutions and an entry into MotoGP as technical sponsor of the LCR Honda team. 

"This partnership offers even more opportunities for the development of high-performance batteries thanks to the data collected during the races and the high demands that race bikes place on their batteries."

Still based on AGM VRLA technology (Advanced Glass Mat - Valve Regulated Lead Acid) and designed to be completely maintenance-free, they are manufactured in accordance with international standards such as IEC 6056-1, 60896-21 and 60896-22.

"Offering a broad spectrum of capacities, from 1 Ah to 204 Ah, Energy Safe meets a wide range of energy needs. The batteries are designed with an expected life of 3/5 years for general purpose models and 10/12 years for long life models at a temperature of 20°C. 

"Furthermore, Energy Safe batteries offer maximum flexibility in terms of transport, being suitable for air, sea, rail and road transport."

Available for use in motorbikes, scooters and ATVs, whether conventional standard batteries, maintenance-free or factory-activated high-performance batteries, ES produces exclusively in ISO:90001 certified factories to guarantee the highest quality standards.

"The Energy Safe portfolio also includes battery chargers and testers with the latest technology - for the maximum possible service life of your battery."
