Motorcycle batteries face severe demands from high vibration, repeated deep cycling, and the unforgiving electrical loads of modern powersport machines. The Exide AGM12-8 is a factory-sealed, maintenance-free AGM battery engineered specifically to meet those demands, offering 12V output and 8.6Ah capacity with 145 CCA (EN) in a compact, ready-to-install format.
Manufactured by Exide Technologies under the AGM Ready range, this battery uses absorbed glass mat technology to immobilise the electrolyte within tightly wound glass fibre separators. The result is a construction that is leak-proof, spill-proof, and inherently resistant to vibration – characteristics that make it well-suited to motorcycles, scooters, ATVs, and similar powersport applications. No initial acid filling or water topping is required at any point during its service life.
The AGM12-8 measures 150mm × 90mm – 95mm (L × W × H) and is housed in a C53 case. Polarity is configuration 1. The hold-down type is B00. Compatible cross-reference codes include 12N7E-4B, YTX7A-BS, YTR9-BS, YTZ10-BS, and YTZ10S. The underlying technology supports start-stop functionality; verify compatibility against the product label before installation.
This product is part of a wider range of Exide AGM Ready motorcycle batteries. Related SKUs within the same family include ET12A-BS, ET12B-BS, ET14B-BS, ET4B-BS, ET7B-BS, ET9B-BS, ETR4A-BS, ETX12-BS, ETX14AH-BS, and ETX14AHL-BS, covering a broad spread of case sizes and capacities.
