VARTA PowerSports AGM Active Batteries

PowerSports AGM Active is VARTA's high-performance motorcycle range, with factory-activated (FA) references ready to install without handling acid.

Technology

Part of the AGM construction and boosts cold cranking current for large displacement engines and motorcycles with demanding starts. The Factory Activated versions come pre-charged and sealed from the factory: there's no need to pour acid or wait for the rest time, they are installed and work. This eliminates activation error, which is one of the most frequent causes of premature failure in motorcycle batteries.

Applications

  • High-performance and large displacement motorcycles
  • Custom and high-compression trail motorcycles
  • Quads and watercraft motorcycles
  • Vehicles with frequent starting and high initial demand

How to choose

If your motorcycle requires more starting torque than a standard AGM provides — typical in large twin-cylinder motorcycles and in cold climates — this is the range. Check the JIS reference and polarity before ordering.

Naming and equivalences

PowerSports AGM Active retains its designation. It is VARTA's high-performance motorcycle range, and many of its references are identified by the FA (Factory Activated) acronym.

Frequently asked questions

What does FA or Factory Activated mean on a motorcycle battery?

That the battery arrives charged, with the acid already incorporated and sealed from the factory. It is installed directly, without pouring acid or waiting for the rest period.

What is the advantage of a factory-activated battery?

It eliminates the activation error, which is one of the most frequent causes of premature failure. A poorly activated battery never recovers its nominal capacity.

What is the difference from standard PowerSports AGM?

The Active range delivers more cold cranking current, designed for large displacement engines, high compression or demanding starts in cold weather.

How do I find the equivalent to my current battery?

By the JIS code on the label (YTX12-BS, YTZ14S and similar). It is the data that fixes measurements, capacity and polarity.
