Motorcycle batteries must withstand constant vibration, frequent cold starts, and the deep discharge cycles common to short urban commutes and demanding off-road use. The Bosch S5A AGM FA124 is a 12V, 14Ah absorbed glass mat battery engineered to meet these conditions without compromise, delivering 230 CCA (EN) for confident engine starts across a wide range of motorcycles and powersports applications.
Manufactured in Europe, the S5A range is sealed and factory-activated supplied filled with electrolyte and fully charged, requiring no preparation before installation. The AGM construction binds the electrolyte within a glass mat separator, eliminating free acid and providing inherent resistance to vibration damage. This technology also supports start-stop systems where confirmed on the product label, and maintains performance across both low-mileage commuter use and high-demand motorsport applications.
The FA124 measures 150mm 87mm 161mm (L W H) and weighs 5.02kg. Terminal polarity should be verified against the product label prior to installation. Cross-references for this battery include YTX16-BS and YTX16, making it a direct replacement across a broad range of fitment guides. Case type and terminal placement details should be confirmed via the product label or vehicle fitment data.
This battery is one of ten variants within the Bosch S5A AGM motorcycle range stocked at PartsForMachines, from FA100 through to FA109, covering a spectrum of capacities and dimensions for different motorcycle classes.
The FA124 is supplied with a 1 year warranty, providing assurance of consistent electrical performance and structural integrity under normal operating conditions.
Standard delivery: 13 working days within UK mainland. 30-day returns.
