Do I need a special charger?
No; you can use any motorcycle specific charger as long as it doesn't charge above 15 volts. When the battery is fitted to the bike it will receive the same charge from the bike as any other battery.
Can I use a float / trickle charger eg: Optimate / Oximiser etc?
Yes, but we advise against it unless the charger is a Lithium specific type. This is because this type of charger can have different modes which may charge over 15 volts (this will destroy the battery). If you use this type of charger you MUST disconnect the battery as soon as it is fully charged; failure to do so will kill the battery.
How do I maintain the battery when not in use?
Disconnect it from the bike, store in a dry place at room temperature, charge occasionally
Do I need to charge this battery before use?
For best results a quick top up charge is recommended before first use
If you are replacing a battery that failed unexpectedly, we strongly recommend having the charging system on your bike checked before fitting the new battery in order to avoid damage to the new battery
Goods are dispatched either by Royal Mail 48/24 Service, or by courier depending on the size/weight of your order and service you choose. We use Parcelforce or DHL for our courier service.
We aim to dispatch the same day for orders received by 1pm, providing the item is in stock. You will be notified if this is not the case. Any delays with delivery after it has been sent by us are beyond our control, and we can only address items that have gone missing after the timescales set out from the Delivery companies (typically 10 working days after dispatch).
UK Delivery Estimations - Subject to availability
| If You Order... | Estimated Delivery |
| Monday - Thursday before 1pm | Next Day (weekdays only) |
| Monday - Thursday after 1pm | Day After Tomorrow (weekdays only) |
| Thursday after 1pm, Saturday or Sunday | Tuesday (unless Bank Holiday) |
Please note that it is not a guaranteed next day service: whilst most orders will be dispatched to this time-frame, very occasionally there may be a problem with an order that prevents it being dispatched in time for next day delivery.
When the item has been dispatched, we will update you with a tracking number and you will thereafter be contacted by the courier service
The delivery driver will attempt to obtain a signature from yourself, or a neighbour. We cannot instruct the courier to leave the parcel without being signed for, but you can organise a ‘safe place’ with them. They will contact you to confirm they have your items and will give you the opportunity then to arrange a safe place, if required.
If they are unable to make delivery, a calling card will be left to inform you of the attempt. Couriers will generally make two attempts of delivery; after this time it will be your responsibility to collect the parcel from the local delivery depot near you.
We accept no responsibility for any costs involved when collecting parcels from couriers including any charges, duties or taxes.
Worldwide Shipping
Royal Mail postal airmail service where possible to keep costs low.
Heavier or larger items are sent by DHL and will require a signature. Please see below for approximate delivery times.
As of Jan 2021, the United Kingdom left the EU. This means that Import Charges, Tax / VAT and Customs Duty will be payable.
We accept no responsibility for these charges and must be payable on receipt. You will be contacted by your relevant authority and failure to pay these charges will mean your order will be returned or destroyed. Please be advised that we will not issue any refund for any charges or costs as a result of this.
