Torrance, CA (8/12/2010)
- Available exclusively through Honda
Powersports dealers, the advanced GYZ20L battery
has recently been certified as an approved replacement
part for additional Honda motorcycle, ATV and
PWC models, American Honda announced today.
Designed as a true “Next Generation”
battery, the GYZ20L has a larger capacity than
the battery it replaces, as well as a 50% lower
static discharge rate and a dramatically improved
recovery rate. A low static discharge rate is
especially important for Powersports vehicles
since they often sit for extended periods of
time between operation.
Jointly developed by Honda R&D and Yuasa
Battery Inc. to meet the rigorous demands of
the 2009-2010 Gold Wing touring motorcycle,
the GYZ20L features larger and thicker plates,
heavy duty TIG-welded terminals and a specially
formulated electrolyte to enhance performance.
In addition, new construction techniques help
increase durability and further extend battery
life.
Utilizing comparable dimensions to the YTX20L
battery, the GYZ20L is an ideal premium battery
upgrade for virtually all Honda motorcycle,
ATV and personal watercraft applications that
currently use the YTX20L.
Given the GYZ20L’s improved durability,
50% lower static discharge rate, 11% higher
amperage capacity and 81% greater life cycle
performance capability, the new battery can
help ensure consistent starting and ample electrical
power when it’s needed most.
The GYZ20L can be used as a premium battery
upgrade for the following Honda models: 2001-2008
GL1800/A Gold Wing; all 2002-2009 Aquatrax;
as well as all TRX650/680 and VTX1800 models
that currently use the YTX20LBS battery as standard
equipment.
The factory filled and sealed GYZ20L requires
no checking or filling of electrolyte levels
for the life of the battery and virtually eliminates
the possibility of battery acid spills or leakage.
In addition to genuine Honda replacement parts,
American Honda offers a full line of fast moving
parts, including Pro Honda chemicals and oils
that are specifically designed for the unique
requirements of today’s high performance
motorcycles, ATVs, personal watercraft and scooters.
Pro Honda products, like the new GYZ20L, are
available exclusively through 1,100 plus Honda
motorcycle dealers nationwide.
