MILWAUKEE ­– Johnson Controls Inc. (JCI) has launched its premium VARTA AGM powersports battery line in North America.

“Our VARTA batteries feature an advanced Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) technology that has been proven for many years in the European market,” said Michael Carr, vice president and general manager, Aftermarket, U.S. and Canada, “Johnson Controls is the world leader of AGM technology for vehicles.”
 
All VARTA powersports batteries will be fully charged just prior to shipping. According to JCI, the “freshly charged” approach will offer distributors, dealers and end users the same ready-to-install convenience North America has experienced with automotive batteries for many years.
 
Additional information can be found on the all-new VARTA powersports website, VARTApowersports.com, which features brand and technical material and an interactive "battery finder" for users to identify which VARTA powersports battery best fits the make, model and engine size of their unique powersports vehicle.

VARTA AGM powersports batteries, with AGM technology, are engineered to provide longer life and improve the performance of the battery. VARTA AGM batteries last longer in demanding applications, are maintenance-free, non-spillable and can be installed at any angle, according to JCI. Each VARTA powersports battery features an established grid design for improved durability, has a rugged case construction, can withstand repeated charging and discharging, and is high performing in a wide range of temperature conditions, according to the company.
