Unleashing the Power of Predator Raptor

Proudly introducing Predator Raptor – a series of Lithium (LiFePO₄) batteries whose innovative features make them a world first in powersport batteries. These batteries are highly versatile, with flexible fitment options making them suitable for a range of motorcycles, quad bikes, jet skis and even sports cars. R&J Batteries proudly lead the development of these revolutionary batteries, which can be found in branches and distributors across Australia and New Zealand.

The Predator Raptor series is one of the most advanced lithium motorcycle and powersport batteries available in the market today. It is powered by Lithium Iron Phosphate chemistry (LiFePO₄) which is well regarded for its safety profile. Speaking about the range, Tim Lennon, Product and Technical Manager at R&J Batteries said, “the new Raptor series from Predator takes lithium battery technology to the next level. The unique combination of features and capabilities allow the user to tailor battery behaviour to suit their specific requirements. Raptor is probably the most significant change in battery technology since the introduction of lithium batteries.”

Shake to Wake Technology

One of the common challenges faced by powersport enthusiasts is a discharged battery, which normally occurs after long periods of inactivity.  The discharged battery will then struggle, or even fail to start their vehicle. Predator Raptor was developed to solve this problem. R&J Batteries’ R&D team developed a battery which can create a power reserve by entering hibernation while there is still energy available in the battery, enabling an easy start when it is time to ride again. Shake to Wake technology is a unique feature which sets Predator Raptor apart from competitor batteries. It allows users to activate a hibernating battery without the need to press a button or connect an external device – they simply give it a bit of a shake to wake it up.

Bluetooth Connectivity

Another noteworthy feature is the Predator Raptor App which allows users to monitor, control and adjust the battery via Bluetooth technology. Users can monitor the State of Charge (SoC), temperature, battery and cell voltage, current flow, charge and discharge indicators, BMS protection status and also view data logs. The App also allow the user to control the battery power by turning it on or off as needed, and the Shake to Wake sensitivity, Hibernation Delay Time and Operating Mode can all be adjusted to suit individual requirements. The Predator App is available for download via the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

HyperFlex Fitment System

Predator Raptor batteries are available in 5 sizes ranging from 4Ah to 18Ah. The Raptor HyperFlex Fitment System uses quad terminals (2 negative and 2 positive) and EVA foam packers to enable each battery to be flexible enough to replace numerous different battery sizes.

Features at a Glance

• Lightweight
  Less than half the weight of an equivalent lead acid battery
• Higher Cranking Power
  Higher voltage under load delivers more starting power
• Low Self Discharge Rate
  For extended storage life
• Increased Cycle Life
  More than 3 times the cycle life compared to an equivalent lead acid battery
• Operating Mode
  The battery has two operating modes: Normal and Intelligent. The Intelligent mode enables the hibernation feature to extend battery storage life and create a power reserve to start the vehicle when the battery is reactivated.
• Spillproof
  No acid or liquid in the battery case
• Integrated BMS
  Actively manages and protects the battery

All these features combine to form a world first in powersport batteries. The Raptor series is truly one of the most advanced batteries in the market and a top choice for powersport enthusiasts looking for longevity, reliability and a battery which can meet their individual needs.

Predator Raptor joins the wider Predator brand which consists of flooded, AGM and lithium options. Together, the comprehensive range powers automotive, commercial, caravan, motorcycle, marine, golf, industrial and general purpose applications.
