YT12A-BS battery test

Post by banner001 »

So the standard L model battery is the Ytx9-bs battery, comes with 8.5Ah and 135CCA.

There is the motobat equivalent with 10Ah and 160CCA...however I can confirm that the battery in the header works a treat!

It's the exact same size as the Ytx9-bs but has 10.5Ah capacity and 175CCA so a good whack above the standard bikes battery.

I have had mine one for a year now and it has been flawless, very impressed with it. Mine is a yuasa and cost about £60, I will not be going back to a motobat again as I was not happy with the older one I had.

2 years on now, never keep it on a maintainer and only use the bike in the summer months, fires up every single time still!

4 years on and still going strong. Rarely use the bike, not on a maintainer still, and still no issues
