Motorcycle batteries face demanding conditions: frequent cold starts, sustained vibration, and the deep discharge cycles typical of short-distance urban commuting and off-road use. The Bosch S5A AGM (FA116) is engineered specifically to meet these challenges, delivering 12V and 10Ah capacity with 120 CCA (EN) in a sealed, maintenance-free absorbent glass mat construction.
Manufactured in Europe, the S5A range uses AGM technology in which the electrolyte is suspended within a glass mat separator rather than pooled as free liquid. This design eliminates acid stratification, resists vibration damage, and supports the deep discharge and recharge cycles associated with stop-start operation and infrequent-use applications. The battery arrives factory-activated: filled with electrolyte, fully charged, and ready for immediate fitment.
The FA116 measures 133mm (L) 90mm (W) 142mm (H inc. terminal) and weighs 3.68 kg. Terminal polarity should be confirmed against the product label prior to installation. Cross-reference codes for this battery include YB10L-A2, YB10L-B, YB10L-B2, and 12N10-3A-1. Bosch part number: 0 986 FA1 160.
The Bosch S5A AGM range is available in multiple capacities and form factors to suit a wide variety of motorcycle, scooter, and powersports applications. Alternative SKUs within the range include FA100 through FA109." This battery is supplied with a 1-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal operating conditions. "Standard delivery: 13 working days within UK mainland. 30-day returns.
Sealed factory activated battery: ready for use, filled with acid, fully charged in Europe Adapted to deep discharge and vibrations: as efficient for short distance trips with frequent starts as for motorsports and off-road applications Suitable for motorcycles (off-road and touring), enduros, scooters, quads, jet skis, snowmobiles and applications with many electrical consumers Installation angle: up to 30 thanks to AGM technology.
