Motorcycle batteries must endure high-frequency vibration, repeated start cycles, and prolonged periods of inactivity – demands that conventional flooded cells struggle to meet consistently. The Exide AGM12-12.1 is a factory-sealed Absorbent Glass Mat battery engineered specifically for powersport applications where reliability and maintenance-free operation are non-negotiable.
Manufactured by Exide Technologies under the AGM Ready programme, this battery uses tightly compressed glass mat separators to immobilise the electrolyte, eliminating free acid and enabling spill-proof, leak-proof performance in any orientation. The construction delivers maximum vibration resistance and supports start-stop cycling where the product label confirms compatibility. No initial acid filling or water topping is required at any point during service life.
The AGM12-12.1 is rated at 12V and 12Ah (C20) with 200 CCA (EN), housed in a Case C56 enclosure measuring 150 mm – 87 mm – 145 mm (L × W × H) and weighing 4.4 kg. Polarity is standard (code 0). Hold-down type is B00. This unit cross-references directly to the widely specified YTX14L-BS fitment code, making it a direct replacement across a broad range of motorcycles and powersport vehicles.
This product is available alongside related AGM powersport variants including ET12A-BS, ET12B-BS, ET14B-BS, ET4B-BS, ET7B-BS, ET9B-BS, ETR4A-BS, ETX12-BS, ETX14AH-BS, and ETX14AHL-BS, covering a wide spread of capacities and fitment codes within the Exide AGM Start Stop range." The AGM12-12.1 is supplied with a 1-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under everyday operating conditions.
