FA 131 Bosch AGM Motorcycle Battery 12V 19Ah Type YB16CL-B - 0986FA 1310, 1 Year Warranty

Motorcycle batteries must withstand repeated deep discharge cycles, high-frequency vibration, and exposure to wide temperature ranges conditions that quickly degrade conventional flooded cells. The Bosch S5A AGM Motorcycle Battery (FA131) is engineered specifically to meet these demands, delivering reliable cold-start performance and consistent capacity retention across a broad range of two-wheeled applications.

Manufactured in Europe, the S5A range uses Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) technology in which the electrolyte is permanently suspended within tightly packed glass-fibre separators. This construction eliminates free acid, prevents spillage in any orientation, and significantly reduces internal resistance enabling faster charge acceptance and greater resilience to the vibration loads common in motorcycle and powersports use. The battery is sealed and factory-activated: filled with acid, fully charged, and ready for immediate fitment without pre-conditioning." The FA131 operates at 12V with a rated capacity of 19Ah (C20) and a cold cranking amperage of 220A (EN). Physical dimensions are 175 mm (L) 100 mm (W) 175 mm (H). It crosses directly to the industry-standard YB16CL-B type reference (Bosch part number 0 986 FA1 310). Polarity layout should be verified against the product label prior to installation. This battery supports start-stop technology confirm compatibility via the product label. "FA131 is one of ten SKUs within this Bosch S5A AGM range available on PartsForMachines, spanning FA100 through FA109. Related fitments include the ETX20CH-BS, ETX20H-BS, ETX20HL-BS, AGM12-16, and AGM12-18 for applications requiring alternative capacity or terminal configurations.

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.
