Conventional lead-acid motorcycle batteries add unnecessary mass and demand frequent maintenance – two drawbacks that directly compromise performance on the road or track. The Exide ELT12B is a 12V 5Ah lithium-ion motorcycle battery engineered to eliminate both concerns, delivering reliable cold-start power with a significantly reduced weight penalty compared to equivalent lead-acid units.
Developed by Exide Technologies under their dedicated Li-Ion Motorbike & Sport range, the ELT12B is built for riders who prioritise performance and responsiveness. The ultra-lightweight lithium-ion cell chemistry reduces overall motorcycle weight, contributing to faster acceleration and improved handling dynamics. With a Cold Cranking Amp rating of 260A (EN), the battery provides dependable starting performance across a wide range of operating conditions.
The ELT12B measures 150mm × 70mm – 130mm (L × W × H) and is housed in a Case C51 form factor with a Hold-Down type B00 and Polarity 0 configuration. It cross-references directly against YT12B-BS, YT14B-BS, and YB16AL-A2, making it a compatible replacement across a broad range of motorcycle applications. Start-stop compatibility is not confirmed – refer to the product label before fitment. This unit ships as ADR Class 9 hazardous goods.
