Motorcycle batteries must deliver reliable cold cranking performance in compact, lightweight form factors – particularly in older and entry-level machines where space and weight margins are tight. The Exide 12N5,5-3B is a conventional 12V 5.5Ah lead-acid motorcycle battery designed precisely for these applications, supplied complete with an acid pack for straightforward initial filling on receipt.
Manufactured by Exide Technologies, one of Europe's most established battery producers, this battery is built to the conventional flooded cell standard. The included acid pack allows dry-shipped storage and distribution, simplifying stocking and handling before the battery is commissioned. Cold cranking performance is rated at 45 CCA (EN), appropriate for the small-displacement engines this unit is designed to serve.
The 12N5,5-3B occupies a Case C41 housing measuring 135mm × 60mm – 130mm (L × W × H) and weighs 2.1kg. Polarity is standard (code 0). The hold-down type is B00. No cross-reference codes are listed; buyers should verify fitment against OEM specifications and physical dimensions before ordering. Start-stop compatibility is not confirmed – refer to the product label.
This battery is available as part of the Exide Other conventional range, with additional variants across 6V and 12V capacities available on site to suit different motorcycle and small-machine applications.
The 12N5,5-3B is backed by a 1-year manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal operating conditions.
