## Description

The PowerSports SLI Freshpack are conventional motorcycle batteries from VARTA, which come with the acid in a separate container to activate them at the time of installation.

## Technology

It is the classic lead-acid construction with liquid electrolyte. The Freshpack format has a specific advantage: the battery remains dry and without self-discharge until it is activated, so it does not age in storage and arrives with the customer with full capacity. It also covers the 6 V formats that almost no one else manufactures and are still needed in classics.

## Applications

- Classic and low-displacement motorcycles
- 50 cc scooters and mopeds
- Vintage vehicles requiring 6 volts
- Economic replacement for occasional use

## The range in figures

References 40
Capacity 3 – 30 Ah
Cold cranking 10 – 300 A (EN)
Voltage 6 / 12 V
Technology PLOMO/ACIDO

## How to choose

When activating it, you need to pour all the acid, wait for the indicated rest period, and charge it before the first use; skipping that step permanently reduces the capacity. If you prefer to avoid this, look for the equivalent in PowerSports AGM Active with FA branding.

## Naming and equivalences

PowerSports SLI Freshpack is the current designation of the VARTA POWERSPORTS free acid range. It is the only family in the VARTA catalog for motorcycles that maintains 6-volt formats.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is a Freshpack battery?

It is a battery that is supplied dry, with the acid in a separate container, and is activated at the time of installation. Thus, it does not self-discharge during storage and arrives to the customer with full capacity.

### How to activate it correctly?

You have to pour all the acid, let it rest for the time indicated by the manufacturer and give it a charge before the first use. Skipping the rest or the initial charge permanently reduces the capacity.

### Are there 6-volt VARTA motorcycle batteries?

Yes, within this range. It is a format that is almost no longer manufactured and that classic motorcycles and many old scooters still need.

### Can I avoid the activation process?

Yes, by choosing an equivalent battery from the PowerSports AGM Active range with the FA mark, which comes activated from the factory.
