Leading battery manufacturer Century Batteries recently unveiled its new range of EverRide Powersports batteries which it says combine reliability, innovation, and exceptional performance.
Century EverRide replaces the outgoing Katana brand, with every battery in the range sporting an enhanced 18-month warranty.
Featuring an extensive range of 42 different battery types, the Century EverRide range is available in Heavy Duty AGM sealed maintenance free (SMF), Hi Performance AGM, Maintenance Free AGM, and Conventional battery types to ensure suitable fitment solutions for the majority of Powersports vehicles in Australia and New Zealand.
The flagship EverRide Heavy Duty AGM range is designed to satisfy the requirements of power hungry, accessory laden touring bikes and are supplied fully factory activated – offering a range of benefits for their intended application.
The heavy-duty range features cast radial plates, allowing for more active material to be applied to a larger surface area offering an improved electrical performance. The full frame design increases the structural integrity of the battery as well as adding increased vibration resistance and ensuring even current distribution to the terminals. The thick cast plates also allow for a higher cycling capability which is perfect for the high electrical demands of touring bikes. Century Batteries says brass and silver terminals ensure there is no loss or drop in power between battery and bike and offer superior electrical conductivity.
The EverRide Hi Performance AGM range delivers higher starting power and a superior power-to-weight ratio, which makes them best suited to high performance motorcycles with high starting power requirements.
Available in factory activated (YTZ) and dry charged (YTX) variants, Century Batteries says the Hi Performance AGM range offers exceptional power from a smaller, lighter case size, which is favourable in high-end sports bike applications.
The smaller case size allows for the plates to be tightly packed inside the case leading to a highly vibration resistant product, and by design can accommodate a fitment angle of up to 90-degrees.
For powersports vehicles requiring slightly higher starting power, the EverRide Maintenance Free AGM range offers a series of products which are factory activated, ready to use out of the box.
The largest category in the range, EverRide Maintenance Free AGM batteries incorporate cast rectangular plates for superior strength and electrical conductivity for higher performance.
EverRide Maintenance Free AGM batteries are also suitable for multi-angle fitment, supporting a wider range of applications.

Finally, for bikes with smaller engines, the EverRide Conventional range has you covered. Supplied dry charged with an integrated acid pack, these batteries offer a shelf life of up to 24 months. The EverRide Conventional range are the only products in the line up with lead antimonial plates for superior charge acceptance and longer life. The Conventional range also offers high internal corrosion resistance, leading to a longer service life for the battery. Being a maintainable designed product, they can also offer extended service life expectancy, provided fluid levels are checked at regular intervals.
In addition, Century Batteries says the EverRide range has been subjected to stringent testing to ensure they meet the standards for product performance and quality you’ve come to expect from its team – exceeding performance requirements of International Standard (JISD5302) by delivering 400-plus cycles with no loss of performance.
In addition, it says the EverRide range was also vibration tested to an exceptionally high standard – withstanding 7G forces for two hours.
All Century EverRide batteries are produced using Sulphation Reducing Technology (SRT), which is an additive applied during the manufacturing process to combat and reduce the onset of sulphation.
Century Batteries explains this is extremely important for batteries that may experience extended periods in inactivity commonly associated with motorcycle and power sports applications.
It states all EverRide products have the additive added to them.
With the backing of Australia’s largest battery manufacturer, Century EverRide reportedly offers a compelling range of powersports batteries which are perfectly suited to Australian conditions, providing your customers with what they really want – exceptional value and dependable performance.
By choosing to stock and sell Century EverRide products, Century Batteries says you will also be able to take advantage of Century Yuasa’s extensive network of distribution centres across the country – ensuring there’s a dynamic supply of stock on-hand locally to service your business.
Further, Century Batteries says its comprehensive nationwide warranty also means that no matter where your customers go, they’ll have access to support and assistance locally should they require it.
