Motorcycle batteries must withstand constant vibration, frequent cold starts, and the irregular charge cycles typical of short urban commutes as well as sustained motorsport use. The Bosch S5A AGM (FA102) is a 12V, 8Ah absorbed glass mat battery engineered to meet precisely these demands, offering 120 CCA (EN) from a sealed, maintenance-free construction that is factory activated and ready to fit straight from the box.
Manufactured in Europe, the S5A range uses AGM technology in which the electrolyte is suspended within a fibreglass mat separator. This design eliminates free acid, prevents spillage in any orientation, and delivers superior resistance to the vibration and deep discharge cycles that degrade conventional flooded batteries prematurely. The sealed construction means no topping-up is required and the battery arrives fully charged. The technology also supports start-stop systems verify compatibility with the product label before fitment.
The FA102 measures 150 mm 87 mm 105 mm (L W H) and weighs 3 kg. It crosses directly to industry-standard references YTX9-BS and YTX9-4, making it a straightforward replacement for a wide range of mid-capacity motorcycle applications. Polarity orientation should be confirmed against the product label prior to installation. Terminal type and hold-down configuration details are as supplied by the manufacturer.
The Bosch S5A AGM range extends across multiple capacities and form factors. Related variants within this family include FA100, FA101, FA103, FA104, FA105, FA106, FA107, FA108, FA109, and FA110, covering a broad spread of fitment requirements.
This battery is supplied with a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects, providing assurance of reliable cranking performance throughout its warranted service life.
