Motorcycle batteries must endure extreme vibration, frequent cold starts, and the demanding charge cycles of modern stop-start systems conditions that degrade conventional lead-acid cells rapidly. The Bosch S5A AGM FA117 is engineered specifically for these environments, delivering dependable starting performance in a sealed, maintenance-free format suited to a wide range of motorcycles and powersport applications.
Manufactured using Absorbent Glass Mat technology, the FA117 arrives factory-activated: filled with electrolyte, fully charged, and ready to install without any preparation. The AGM construction bonds electrolyte within glass fibre separators, eliminating free acid, enhancing vibration resistance, and supporting the deep discharge cycles characteristic of short urban trips and frequent stop-start operation. Bosch produces this battery in Europe to consistent quality standards within its S5A motorcycle range.
The FA117 is rated at 12V with a 6Ah capacity (C20) and 90 CCA (EN), housed in a case measuring 113mm 70mm 105mm (L W H) and weighing 2.13kg. It cross-references directly to the YTZ7S type. Terminal polarity should be confirmed against the product label prior to fitment. Start-stop compatibility is supported by the AGM technology; verify suitability via the product label.
This battery is part of a wider Bosch S5A AGM motorcycle range. Related variants include FA100 through FA109, providing alternative specifications for different applications." The FA117 is supplied with a 1 Year Warranty. "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.
