Powersports applications demand reliable cold-start performance across a wide range of operating conditions, from sub-zero winter mornings to high-vibration off-road terrain. The Varta Powersports AGM TX16-BS-1 is a 12V 14Ah absorbed glass mat battery engineered specifically for modern motorcycles, scooters, and quad bikes where dependable cranking power and vibration resistance are non-negotiable.
Manufactured under the Varta Dynamic AGM programme, this battery uses absorbed glass mat technology in which the electrolyte is fully suspended within a tightly wound glass fibre mat. This construction eliminates free acid, provides superior resistance to mechanical shock and vibration, and enables the battery to deliver a cold cranking current of 210A (EN) from a compact, sealed enclosure. The AGM technology also supports start-stop functionality where the vehicle manufacturer specifies it – always verify compatibility against the product label and your vehicle documentation.
The battery measures 150mm × 87mm – 161mm (L × W × H) and weighs 4.3kg. It is supplied with Y1 terminal type, terminal placement code 1 (positive terminal to the left), and hold-down configuration B00. The cross-reference code is TX16-BS-1 / TX16-4-1, covering equivalent fitments across a broad range of powersports platforms.
