Product Overview: Raptor Batteries

Share this page

For riders who expect more from their bikes, Raptor sets a benchmark for lithium powersport batteries. Combining cutting-edge design with intelligent technology, Raptor delivers powerful starting performance, advanced monitoring and user customisable features in a compact and lightweight package. Raptor is suited for both the daily commute and weekend cruising, making it a standout choice for riders who value reliability, performance and technology.

Technology

 Raptor is powered by Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) chemistry which is widely known for its safety and high resistance to thermal runaway. Unlike conventional lead acid batteries, LiFePO4 cells have a significantly higher energy density and cycle life which delivers strong performance, reduced weight and a longer lifespan.

A common issue with seasonal or infrequent use is that the battery will discharge during these extended periods of inactivity. Raptor can solve this problem by automatically entering hibernation while there is still energy available in the battery which creates a power reserve. The battery can then be turned on by either using the button on the battery, the power button in the Bluetooth App or by using the world first Shake to Wake technology. This involves simply shaking your bike gently to wake it up.

The hibernation feature is especially beneficial for motorcycles, jet skis, quad bikes and recreational applications that may sit unused for extended periods. By reducing power loss during downtime, it ensures the battery retains enough energy to deliver reliable starting performance even after extended storage periods.

 

Product Features

 Bluetooth connectivity and the Raptor App provide real time insights into the battery’s performance and usage. Users can monitor State of Charge (SoC), temperature, current flow as well as overall and individual cell voltages. The system also has inbuilt logging which counts cranking events and BMS fault events. Through the App users can switch between Intelligent mode and Normal mode, as well as adjust the delay (in days) before the battery enters hibernation and the sensitivity of the Shake to Wake sensor.

The integrated Battery Management System actively protects the battery by monitoring voltage, current and temperature to help prevent overcharge, over discharge and other potential issues. This intelligent protection system helps maximise battery life while improving reliability and rider confidence.

The HyperFlex Fitment System utilises EVA foam packers and a quad terminal design to allow exceptional fitment versatility. With five sizes available (4Ah, 6Ah, 9Ah, 12Ah and 18Ah), each battery can replace multiple conventional batteries, simplifying fitments across a wide range of motorcycles, quads and jet skis.

Additional product features include:

  • High cranking power

Delivers a higher voltage under load which means faster and more consistent engine starting

  • Integrated BMS

Actively manages and protects the battery. Allows the user to choose between Intelligent and Normal operating modes

  • Lightweight construction

Less than half the weight of an equivalent lead acid battery

  • Low self discharge rate

Ideal for seasonal use and long storage periods

  • Increased cycle life

More than 3 times the cycle life of an equivalent lead acid battery, delivering extended service life and reduced replacement frequency

 

Pricing and Value for Money

 Raptor is best suited for riders seeking a premium power solution. While the initial purchase price is higher than conventional lead acid batteries, the advanced technology, improved performance and extended service life provide strong long term value. Features such as hibernation, Bluetooth App connectivity and integrated BMS protection reduce the risk of unexpected battery failure, while the longer lifespan means fewer replacements over time. For riders who demand consistent performance and convenience, the investment is justified through reduced downtime, increased performance gains and reduced total cost of ownership.

 

The Last Word 

Raptor stands out as one of the most advanced powersport batteries on the planet! Its combination of Lithium Iron Phosphate chemistry, Shake to Wake technology and intelligent Bluetooth enabled monitoring offers clear advantages over other traditional battery options. Supported by a two year warranty, Raptor provides riders with an intelligent, powerful, reliable and future focused battery solution.
