Reservations begin on Makuake, goal achieved in 15 minutes
OUTDO, a new type of battery that is gaining attention as a new option for next-generation motorcycles, has made its first appearance in Japan on the crowdfunding site Makuake. The project is being run by Navic Co., Ltd. (Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture). The goal was reached in just 15 minutes after the start, proving the high level of interest among riders.
This OUTDO battery uses sodium ion, a “third option” to replace conventional lead and lithium ion batteries. It boasts excellent resistance to harsh environments, can start even at -25°C, and can maintain power for 18 months even after long-term storage. It is a high-performance product that is officially adopted by the BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team and is sold in over 140 countries around the world.
Overwhelming performance and durability that support peace of mind and trust
OUTDO batteries are both highly reliable and tough. They are approximately 60% lighter than lead batteries of the same size and capacity, contributing to lighter vehicle weight and improved fuel economy. The internal structure is designed to be tough, allowing them to be recharged even when fully discharged to 0V. They are resistant to over-discharge and thermal runaway, and come standard with multiple safety mechanisms such as a CID (current interrupter).
The battery can withstand over 3,000 charge/discharge cycles and has passed tests for 80,000 engine starts. It is expected to only need to be replaced once in 10 years, which also offers a significant benefit in terms of reduced running costs. It also has ultra-fast charging performance of up to 4C, allowing it to restart in 3 minutes and quickly charge to 80% in 15 minutes. It is also responsive enough to instantly recover from an emergency before a tour or during a problem on the way to work.
A Japanese rider has been appointed as an ambassador, with skills recognized by professionals
The performance of this OUTDO battery has been proven by professionals around the world. It was officially adopted by the BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team, which won the overall championship in the 2024 Superbike World Championship (WSBK). It was also installed on the bike of champion rider Toprak Razgatlioglu.
Furthermore, Tetsuta Nagashima, a top Japanese rider active in MotoGP and other sports, has been appointed as an official ambassador for OUTDO JAPAN. His evaluation and trust based on his own experience is a testament to the product’s capabilities.
Domestic compatibility, compatibility, and ease of implementation are also attractive features
The appeal of OUTDO is not limited to its performance. It is fully inspected, shipped, and provided with after-sales support in Japan, and comes with a two-year product warranty. It is also compatible with standard lead-acid battery chargers, and can be easily installed by anyone without the need for complicated procedures or specialized tools.
It offers high flexibility in installation, allowing it to be attached at any angle, 360°. It’s compatible with space-saving bikes and custom models, and there’s no need to worry about leaks. It also meets international standards for safety, reliability, and environmental compatibility, and has obtained certifications such as ISO9001, ISO14001, ISO45001, CE, and UN38.3.
