Exide AGM12-17 Factory Sealed AGM Motorcycle Battery YTX20CH-BS - 12V 18Ah, 1 Year Warranty

High-current starting demands in powersport applications place considerable strain on conventional batteries, particularly where vibration, compact fitment envelopes, and infrequent maintenance are everyday realities.

The AGM12-17 occupies a 150 × 87 × 161 mm (L × W × H) footprint in Case C57 and is supplied ready to install with Polarity 1 configuration. Hold-down type is B00. It cross-references directly to the OE fitment code YTX20CH-BS, providing a reliable guide for model-specific verification. The battery weighs 5.5 kg.
