The Exide AGM12-16 from the Moto AGM range is a motorcycle battery with 16 Ah and 200 A of cold cranking current (EN), designed for motorcycles, scooters, quads and personal watercraft. It replaces the original battery without adaptation in motorcycles with a 150 × 90 × 160 mm format: same 16 Ah capacity and the positive terminal on the left.

In short: the Exide AGM12-16 (16 Ah, 200 A, 150 × 90 × 160 mm, positive terminal on the left). Verified equivalent alternatives: Exide ETX16-BS and Exide ETX20CH-BS.

  • Resistant to the vibration typical of two wheels.
  • Energetic cranking for high-compression engines.
  • AGM technology: absorbed electrolyte, no spills, can be mounted at an angle.
  • Same JIS code as the original battery: fits first time.

Dimensions, polarity and mounting

It has external dimensions of 150 × 90 × 160 mm and weighs 5.50 kg. The positive terminal on the left decides which side the cables end up on: it is the detail that causes most buying mistakes, so check it before ordering. It uses a B0 hold-down and M04 terminals, the system that anchors and connects it in the vehicle. Before replacing it, measure your current battery tray: if all three dimensions and the terminal positions match, the swap is direct and needs no adapters.

What the Exide AGM12-16 is for

The Exide AGM12-16 is a common replacement in motorcycles, scooters, quads and personal watercraft. If your bike spends the winter standing, a trickle charger stops it reaching spring flat. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 5.50 kg, M04 terminals and B0 hold-down.

The Exide AGM12-16: Moto AGM range and AGM technology

The AGM12-16 is part of the Exide Moto AGM range. Choosing the right reference within the series comes down to capacity, dimensions and terminals: technology and quality are common to the whole family.

In an AGM battery the electrolyte is absorbed in glass-fibre separators: there is no free liquid, it cannot spill and it can be mounted at an angle. That construction lowers internal resistance, speeds up recharging and multiplies cycle life compared with a conventional battery.

What Exide does differently

With more than a century of history, Exide Technologies manufactures automotive, marine, motorcycle and industrial batteries in Europe. Its presence as original equipment on assembly lines vouches for the quality of every reference. All the Exide batteries in our catalogue are genuine product, recently manufactured and covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

Manufacturer's warranty

The Exide AGM12-16 comes with the manufacturer's official warranty. The warranty does not cover discharge through prolonged inactivity: if the bike stands for months, use a trickle charger.

How to make it last longer

If the bike spends the winter standing, connect a trickle charger: deep discharge through inactivity is the first cause of premature failure. Check the resting voltage before the season (above 12.6 V on a charged battery) and make sure the terminals are clean and tight.

When you get it and how to return it

Same-day dispatch from our warehouse for in-stock orders placed before 6:00 pm: 24-48 working hours in mainland Spain and Portugal, 3 to 5 days in the islands and the rest of Europe. Returns are accepted for 14 days if the battery has not been used (free collection on the Iberian mainland). You will receive tracking by email.

Exide AGM12-16 vs Exide ETX20CH-BS

Bigger sister · +3,00 €

The next step up from the AGM12-16 in the same range and the same case. Compared with the AGM12-16 it has 2 Ah more and 30 A of cold cranking more. It costs 3,00 € more. Worth it on big-displacement bikes, with lots of electrical equipment or that sleep in the cold; on an average bike the AGM12-16 does the job.

The leaner option in the same range, below the AGM12-16. Compared with the AGM12-16 it has 2 Ah less and 15 A of cold cranking more. It costs 10,10 € less. Fine if your bike originally had that capacity; if it came with the AGM12-16, do not go down.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Exide YTX16-BS an AGM battery and what are the benefits of AGM?

Yes. AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology, 16 Ah and 12 V: sealed lead-acid, with the electrolyte held in glass fibre. It tolerates heat better and handles more cycles than a conventional battery.

How should this motorcycle battery be charged?

With a 12 V motorcycle charger delivering at most 10 % of its capacity: 1.6 A for its 16 Ah. High-current car chargers can damage it. If the bike is laid up for the winter, keep it on a maintenance charger.

Does it need maintenance?

No: being AGM, it is sealed and nothing needs topping up. Just keep it charged if the bike stands for a long time.

How long does the Exide YTX16-BS battery last?

As a rough estimate, the Exide YTX16-BS typically lasts 4 to 6 years, keeping it charged when the bike is not in use; it is a guide figure, not a guaranteed period. Many factors play a part: how it is used (lots of short trips, for example), temperature (cold makes every start harder and intense heat evaporates the electrolyte), the condition of the alternator and charging system, power drawn with the engine off and maintenance.

What size is this battery?

Measure the battery tray before ordering: a one-millimetre difference is enough for the hold-down clamp not to close. It measures 150×90×160 mm in length × width × height, with the terminals included in the height.

What polarity does the Exide YTX16-BS battery have?

Polarity of the Exide YTX16-BS: positive on the left. Seen from the front, terminals towards you, the positive (+) is the post with the red ring. Compare it with the battery you are replacing: if it does not match, cables must be lengthened or the system reconfigured, with a risk of short circuit.

Is the YTX16-BS valid for my vehicle?

For your own vehicle: type your number plate into the finder (DGT/DVLA/KBA identify model and engine), check the "Compatible vehicles" tab below, listing vehicles verified by our technical team, or message us on WhatsApp with make, model, engine and year; we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:30–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). In every case, the motorcycle manufacturer's specifications (owner's handbook) take precedence.

Which interchangeable batteries are there for this one?

A battery interchangeable with the Exide YTX16-BS must match it on dimensions (150×90×160 mm), polarity (positive on the left), capacity (16 Ah) and cranking current (200 A). The options at the same level are in the "Equivalents" section of this page.

Exide AGM12-16 or Exide ETX20CH-BS: which one to choose?

The next step up from the AGM12-16 in the same range and the same case. Compared with the AGM12-16 it has 2 Ah more and 30 A of cold cranking more. It costs 3,00 € more. Worth it on big-displacement bikes, with lots of electrical equipment or that sleep in the cold; on an average bike the AGM12-16 does the job.

Exide AGM12-16 or Exide ETX16-BS: which one to choose?

The leaner option in the same range, below the AGM12-16. Compared with the AGM12-16 it has 2 Ah less and 15 A of cold cranking more. It costs 10,10 € less. Fine if your bike originally had that capacity; if it came with the AGM12-16, do not go down.
