battery SGR - 06.53211

On 01 February 2021, Regulation (EU) 2019/1148 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2019 on the marketing and use of explosives precursors, amending Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 and repealing Regulation (EU) No 98/2013 (Text with EEA relevance) entered into force, the regulation PROHIBITS the sale to final consumers ( without specific license) of numerous substances including acids used to activate batteries.

The batteries in which the acid is included in the package will be activated by us before being dispatched, we will also complete the initial charge and then finally we will test with a specific tool. The Battery will be delivered activated, sealed, ready to be used, therefore no liquid will be present in the package (the electrolyte is absorbed into a mesh of thin glass fibers).

This procedure in addition to being compliant with current legislation is a further guarantee of the quality of the battery, all batteries that do not pass the final test will in fact be discarded.

NB: The expected delivery indicated on the web site may be subject to delays due to the time required for the preparation of the battery. The batteries activated in this way are ready to use on the motorcycle or stored without being recharged for a maximum period of 30 days (cold climates) or 60 days (warm climates), or only if properly keep in charge.

The Batteries whose activation requires the introduction of acid through the nozzles over the lid (Traditional Lead Acid Batteries on whose lid there are caps), cannot be shipped already activated because the liquid could leak during transport, will be shipped by us as they arrive from the factory then dry. Activation should be serviced by a qualified installer, or by who holds the license required for the possession of the acid. Activation will be possible for us only if collected in our phisical shop.
