Motorcycle PE Battery Separator Brochure

More than 75 million motorcycle batteries are made each year worldwide. Most of these batteries are made in Asia. For the moment, a majority of these batteries are made with traditional leaf separator plus variable thickness glass mat. This is because:

  • During the rise of the motorcycle as a popular method of transportation, with many small manufacturers in each country, a wide
variety of battery sizes were produced for the motorcycle battery market. This has changed. Now, as Honda and Yamaha and Suzuki increasingly dominate the motorcycle and scooter market there will be more standardization of the motorcycle battery market. This means greater standardization of the motorcycle battery separator market. Automation now becomes possible.
  • The batteries are mostly made in low labor cost countries (Indonesia, China, India, etc.). These countries will see increasing labor costs as their markets expand. This means that the same pressure for quality, automation and envelope separators that took place in the automotive battery separator market will take place in the motorcycle battery separator market.

  • ENTEK is working on a new and unique PE battery separator package for motorcycle battery production that will combine the benefits of PE envelope separators, glass mat for motorcycle applications, and new sealing machines ideal for low labor cost countries.
In the second half of 2005, ENTEK International intends to introduce a new Motorcyle polyethylene separator with attached glass mat in combination with a low cost dedicated enveloping system. This Motorcycle separator package is intended to offer a compelling value proposition to Motorcycle battery manufacturers through low-cost implementation of world-class separation technology, which transformed the automotive battery market more than 15 years ago.
The motorcycle battery market is one of the most profitable, and one of the largest of all the various lead-acid battery markets. Make sure your company is using the best technology separators money can buy: RhinoHide® Motorcycle Battery Separators.
