## Description

**VARTA Powersports AGM High Performance batteries** are Varta's highest cranking-current range for **big Harley-Davidson**, American cruisers and jet-skis. They span 12 to 30 Ah with 200 to 450 A cranking current (CCA), built for high-compression V-twin engines. Common codes: YTX20L-BS HP, YTX24HL-BS and YTX30L-BS.
It's the right **high-performance motorcycle battery** when the engine demands a high cranking peak the instant you turn the key: Harley Touring, premium cruisers and large-capacity four-stroke jet-skis.

## AGM High Performance: more cranking power for big-displacement engines

The **AGM High Performance** range delivers higher CCA than standard AGM, built for large-displacement, high-compression V-twin engines that need a strong cold cranking peak. It keeps the same sealed, maintenance-free VRLA construction that mounts at any angle, but with plates sized to deliver more starting amps.

### Models and application

- **YTX20L-BS HP** (18 Ah / 270 A): Harley Sportster, Softail.
- **YTX24HL-BS** (21 Ah / 350 A): big Harley Touring.
- **YTX30L-BS** (30 Ah / 450 A): premium cruiser, 4-stroke jet-ski.

### How to choose your AGM High Performance

If your bike is a big-displacement Harley-Davidson, a premium American cruiser or a 4-stroke jet-ski that struggles to cold-start, this range is the right fit. For naked and mid-size sport-tourers, standard **AGM Powersports** is enough; for premium European models, consider **AGM Active**. Always confirm the code and polarity on our [motorcycle battery comparison tool](/gb/comparator) before buying.
