Summerville, South Carolina based Ballistic Performance Components’ 16 volt ‘Evo Power’ high-performance, lightweight, lithium-ion starter battery system comes “complete with everything you need to charge, maintain and monitor your EVO3 battery – perfect for American V-twins that require more cranking amps to start modified big cubic inch motors.”
The system kit includes a state of the art Lithium Ferrous Phosphate (LiFePO4) EVO3 battery that is said to be up to 15lb lighter than the stock battery and an OptiMate EVO maintenance charger and EVO health monitor.
The maintenance charger “keeps the EVO battery at the perfect voltage for maximum battery life, a must for modern American V-twins with high parasitic draw.” It gives “at a glance” indications of the battery’s voltage and connects directly to the EVO maintenance charger.
For applications used in cold environments or with high-performance modifications, Ballistic recommends using their 24 volt EVO ‘MAX POWER’ systems with EVO3 batteries that have higher burst cranking amps. Batteries are shipped at 30% state of capacity.
“Left unattended, with nothing drawing from the Ballistic EVO battery, our customers can expect a static discharge rate of less than 10% over a 12-month period. This is incredibly efficient. The problem is, most modern powersports vehicles have some parasitic draw from the battery when the switch is off. This parasitic draw kills batteries in powersports vehicles. Traditional trickle chargers of questionable quality are simply not up to the task of maintaining advanced lithium-ion batteries,” said Ballistic Director of Sales and Marketing, Chip Spalding.
“Our solution is a partnership with industry leader TecMate to provide the ultra-high quality OptiMate 1 lithium charger and state of the art EVO health monitor with our EVO3 battery. The package delivers everything needed to get maximum power and battery life from the EVO battery.”
