HOLLY HILL, FL, JULY 15, 2008: Metra Electronics presents Shuriken high performance batteries, which are engineered to provide all the power needed for today's car audio systems.

By using Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) technology, the Shuriken's rechargeable power cells can be mounted in any position needed and won't spill. They are also extremely resistant to excessive heat and strong vibration, and with super low ESR and closely packed pure lead plates, each power cell really packs a punch.

Shuriken batteries come in varying sizes and capacities from the compact but powerful SK-BT20, weighing 14 pounds and having a 20 amp hour rating (it is recommended for audio systems up to 600 watts), to the powerhouse SK-BT120, weighing 79 pounds and having a 120 amp hour rating. The SK-BT120 is recommended for audio systems up to 2400 watts.

The Shuriken line of high performance batteries is intended for use with SAE style OEM or aftermarket battery terminals. Battery connectors are sold separately.

The five-foot high Shuriken Battery Display is attractive and will give customers all the information they need to make the correct battery choice for their car's system. Plus, it gives the retailer space to display up to twelve batteries.
