Exide GEL12-30 Motorcycle Battery (53030) -12V 30Ah, 1 Year Warranty

Powersports and motorcycle applications demand a battery that can sustain deep-cycle loads from auxiliary electronics whilst delivering reliable engine starts – a combination that conventional lead-acid units struggle to achieve consistently. The Exide GEL12-30 addresses this directly as part of the Exide Equipment Gel range, a factory-sealed gel electrolyte battery rated at 12V and 30Ah (C20) with 180 Cold Cranking Amps (EN).

Exide Technologies engineers the Equipment Gel range using immobilised gel electrolyte technology, which eliminates free acid movement within the cell. This construction provides inherent resistance to vibration damage, suppresses self-discharge during seasonal storage, and removes any requirement for electrolyte maintenance throughout the battery's service life. The sealed, recombinant design makes it suitable for installation in restricted or enclosed battery compartments.

The GEL12-30 is housed in a Case U01 enclosure measuring 197mm (L) × 132mm (W) × 186mm (H inc. terminal), with a confirmed weight of 11.1 kg. Polarity is Type 1 (positive terminal left). The hold-down configuration is B00. This unit cross-references to U1 and 53030. Start-stop compatibility is not confirmed – refer to the product label before fitting.

Variants within the Exide Equipment Gel range include the ES290, ES450, and ES650, offering alternative capacity and cranking specifications to suit differing powersports applications." This battery is backed by a 1-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal operating conditions.
