Battery Maintenance | Can I Use a Battery Tender on my Shorai Battery?

Posted on January 9, 2012
Shorai batteries are not like other batteries. They are small and lightweight. If you pick one up with your hand you'll swear there's nothing inside the case. But they offer amazing cranking power for your powersports. Shorai makes batteries to fit most motorcycles, ATVs, scooters, and personal watercrafts. These are true upgrades compared to the standard lead acid batteries that we've been using for so long. But, will your old Battery Tender Maintenance Charger still work with your new Shorai battery? read more...

All else is outward display--so much tinsel and decorations. read more...

Motorcycle Review 2012 KTM 450 XC-W | 300 Mile Update

Posted on December 14, 2011
Fit and finish are what you would expect from KTM, which is just as good or better than anything else out there right now. My old Husaberg was clearly designed by engineers. Yes, it was a great bike, and until now my favorite (despite the bitter parting we had at the end) to ride. Definitely designed to perform well, but without thought of actually working on the thing. The 2012 KTM is a different bag. They seem to have taken the best from the Husaberg as far as performance, improved upon it even, and added in the bonus of a very service friendly design. read more...

Warranty Test Tutorial

Posted on December 12, 2011
One of the facts of life is that batteries fail. Some take years, but eventually they will all bite the dust. Rest assured it is uncommon for our customers to experience battery issues, as less then 1% of the powersports batteries we sell end up requiring a warranty. Our Scorpion brand and Yuasa brand from Motocross come with a 1 year replacement warranty against manufacturer defects. If the battery is suspect and is still under warranty, we will replace it. read more...

Robin's Corner | Series vs. Parallel

Posted on December 7, 2011
When a battery pack is set up in “Series” it changes the voltage of the battery pack. So if you have two batteries that are each 12v 100amps once you hook them together you now have 24v but still only 100amps. When the battery is hooked in series you have the cable going from negative to positive.

When you have a battery pack that is in “Parallel” it changes the amps and Not the voltage. So if you have a battery that is 12v 100amps once you hook them together you will have 12v 200amps. When the battery is hooked in Parallel it is hooked up negative to negative and positive to positive. read more...

Thanksgiving is Here!

Posted on November 22, 2011
Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays, with friends and family gathering, lots of fantastic food, and of course the big countdown to Christmas beginning. But in all this, have I forgotten where the holiday came from? What are its roots? Who is getting all the thanks? It seems that as I get older, as our society ‘progresses’, as time marches on, it is easy to forget where we came from in the comfort of where we are. This spurred me to dig into this a bit as I began to wonder if I had my facts straight or if I was missing the historical mark. The little bits of fact that I ran across led me to a few surprises that I had either forgot, or perhaps never heard: read more...
