Powersports applications demand batteries capable of withstanding sustained vibration, repeated discharge cycles, and demanding environmental conditions – challenges that conventional flooded batteries frequently fail to meet. The Varta Powersports AGM Active 12V 8Ah battery (SKU: 508909014) is engineered specifically for motorcycles, ATVs, and leisure vehicles where reliability and resilience are non-negotiable.
Manufactured under the Varta Dynamic AGM product group (VARTA POWERSPORT FUNSTART AGM, Product Group 2185), this battery employs Absorbent Glass Mat technology in which the electrolyte is fully absorbed into a fibreglass mat separator. This construction eliminates free acid, enables sealed maintenance-free operation, and delivers the highest vibration resistance in the Varta powersports range – critical for off-road and high-performance applications." The battery operates at 12V with a rated capacity of 8Ah (C20) and a Cold Cranking Amperage of 135A (EN). Physical dimensions are 151mm × 87mm – 106mm (L × W × H) with a weight of 2.87kg. It features a Y4 terminal type with Polarity 1 (positive terminal left) and B00 hold-down configuration. Compatible cross-reference codes include YTX9 (FA) and TX9 (FA). Note: start-stop compatibility is technology-supported – verify suitability via the product label prior to fitment. This battery is available in multiple capacities and configurations within the Varta Powersports AGM Active range to suit a broad spectrum of vehicle requirements. See variant SKUs listed on the product page for alternative options. This product is supplied with a 1-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal operating conditions.
