Motorcycle batteries operating under frequent start-stop cycles, short urban runs, and high-vibration off-road conditions demand a chemistry engineered specifically for those stresses. The Bosch S5A AGM FA109 is a sealed, factory-activated 12V 3Ah absorbent glass mat battery designed to meet exactly those demands, supplied fully charged and ready to install without any pre-activation or acid filling required.
Manufactured by Bosch in Europe, the S5A range uses AGM technology in which the electrolyte is held within a glass mat separator rather than free liquid. This construction eliminates acid stratification, resists damage from repeated deep discharge cycles, and provides significantly greater vibration resistance than conventional flooded or calcium batteries characteristics that make it well suited to motorcycles, scooters, and powersports applications.
The FA109 measures 113mm 70mm 85mm (L W H) and delivers 50 CCA (EN) from a 3Ah capacity, with a verified weight of 1.4 kg. Terminal polarity should be confirmed against the product label prior to installation. This battery cross-references directly to YTX4L-BS, YTX4L, YT4L-BS, and YT4L common fitments across a wide range of small-displacement motorcycles and powersports equipment. Bosch part number: 0986FA1090.
PartsForMachines stocks the full Bosch S5A AGM motorcycle battery range. Related variants include FA100 through FA108 and FA110, covering a broad spread of capacities and form factors for different applications." This battery is supplied with a 1-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal operating conditions. "Standard delivery: 13 working days within UK mainland. 30-day returns.
