Powersports applications demand a battery that delivers reliable cold cranking performance regardless of ambient temperature or riding frequency. The Varta Powersports AGM TX12-BS is a factory-activated, sealed absorbent glass mat battery engineered specifically for modern motorcycles, scooters, and quad bikes where vibration resistance and maintenance-free operation are essential.
Manufactured under the Varta Dynamic AGM range, this battery employs absorbent glass mat technology in which the electrolyte is immobilised within a fibreglass separator. This construction eliminates acid stratification, resists deep-discharge damage, and enables the battery to recover efficiently after periods of low or intermittent use – a characteristic well suited to seasonal powersports applications.
The TX12-BS is rated at 12V with a 10Ah capacity (C20) and 150 CCA (EN). Physical dimensions are 152mm × 88mm – 131mm (L × W × H) with a Y5 terminal configuration, B00 hold-down type, and polarity code 1 (positive terminal left). The battery weighs 4.15kg. It is cross-referenced to TX12-4. Note that whilst the underlying AGM technology supports start-stop functionality, compatibility with a specific vehicle's start-stop system should be verified against the product label before fitment." This battery is available across a broad range of Varta Powersports AGM capacities and formats. Refer to the variant selector to identify the correct specification for your application. "The TX12-BS is supplied with a 1 Year Warranty, providing assurance of dependable service life under normal operating conditions.
