Motorcycle electrical systems demand a battery that delivers reliable cold-start performance while withstanding the vibration and orientation challenges inherent to powersport applications. The Exide AGM12-16 is a factory-sealed, absorbent glass mat motorcycle battery rated at 12V and 16Ah (C20), offering 200 cold cranking amps (EN) to meet the starting demands of medium to large-displacement machines.
Manufactured by Exide Technologies under the AGM Ready range, this battery employs absorbent glass mat technology in which the electrolyte is immobilised within a fibreglass separator. The result is a sealed, maintenance-free unit requiring no initial acid filling, no water topping, and no periodic electrolyte checks. The construction is leak-proof and spill-proof, and the battery is engineered to resist the continuous mechanical vibration typical of motorcycle use. The product label should be consulted to confirm start-stop system compatibility prior to fitment.
The AGM12-16 measures 150mm (L) × 90mm (W) × 160mm (H including terminal) and is housed in a Case C57 enclosure with a B00 hold-down configuration and Polarity 1 layout. It crosses directly to the YTX16 reference, facilitating straightforward identification against OEM specifications. Weight is 5.5 kg.
