Motorcycle batteries operate in demanding conditions subject to vibration, frequent short-distance discharge cycles, and the electrical load of modern accessories. The Bosch FA118 is a 12V 10Ah AGM motorcycle battery designed to meet these demands reliably, forming part of the Bosch S5A AGM range and carrying Bosch part number 0986FA1180.
Manufactured in Europe, the FA118 uses Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) technology in which the electrolyte is suspended within a fibreglass mat, eliminating free acid and enabling a fully sealed, maintenance-free construction. The battery is factory activated supplied filled, charged, and ready to install with no acid handling required. AGM construction also provides enhanced resistance to vibration and deep discharge, making it well suited to both everyday commuting with frequent start cycles and more demanding motorsport or off-road use. The technology supports start-stop functionality; verify compatibility with your vehicle via the product label prior to installation.
Physical dimensions are 150mm (L) 88mm (W) 105mm (H including terminal), with a cold cranking amp (CCA/EN) rating of 145A and a weight of 3.29kg. This battery is a recognised fitment equivalent for YT12A-BS and YT12A coded batteries. Polarity must be confirmed via the product label before installation." The FA118 is one variant within the Bosch S5A AGM motorcycle battery range; related SKUs including FA100 through FA109 are available on site to suit alternative fitment requirements. This battery is supplied with a 1-year manufacturer warranty. "Standard delivery: 13 working days within UK mainland. 30-day returns.
