Not many of us give much thought to the batteries we fit to our cars and motorcycles, but the simple fact is that, without a good battery, you’re not getting very far, irrespective of the mechanical soundness of your vehicle. Similarly, not many of us will have a preference as to which brand of battery to use, but it’s never too late for a bit of education.
I’ll admit to being as ignorant as the next man about batteries, which is why it was instructional to learn about Outdo batteries, imported to South Africa by Forbatt SA. Perhaps a couple of quotes from their press release will tell the story better than I could.
