Ready to use, sealed and vibration-resistant. Fits any model that takes the same JIS reference — the code your mechanic recognises at a glance. ## Why this motorcycle battery? - **Same JIS reference** as your bike's original — fits first time - **Sealed and ready to use** no acid handling, no refills - **Survives winter storage** holds charge through long off-season 🔌 Voltage 12 V ⚡ Capacity 16 Ah C20 🔋 Cold cranking 200 A EN-1 📏 Dimensions 150×90×160 mm ⚙️ Technology AGM 🧭 Polarity Positive on the left ⚖️ Weight 5,5 kg 🏷️ Model EXIDE MOTO AGM 12V #️⃣ Mfr. reference AGM12-16 ## Description ## Motorcycle battery Exide AGM12-16 Moto AGM 16Ah 200A 12V 12*V* Voltage 16*Ah* Capacity 200*A* Cold cranking 5.50*kg* Weight 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. - 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 [[ks:cutoff]]**: 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 **[[ks:return_days]] days** if the battery has not been used (free collection on the Iberian mainland). You will receive tracking by email. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is the Exide AGM12-16 an AGM battery and what are the benefits of AGM? Yes. The AGM12-16 from Exide uses AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology: a sealed lead-acid battery where the electrolyte is absorbed in a glass-fibre mat. It withstands more charge/discharge cycles than a conventional one, handles heat better and is the required technology for motorcycles with advanced Start-Stop and regenerative braking. Expected lifespan: 5-8 years under normal conditions. ### How is the Exide AGM12-16 battery installed in the vehicle? In most motorcycles it fits in 15-30 minutes with a 10 mm wrench; if the battery is under the seat or in the boot the time can double. See the step-by-step guide on our blog. Quick summary: 1) switch off the engine and remove the key; 2) locate the original battery (engine bay, boot or under seat); 3) disconnect the negative (−) terminal first, then the positive (+); 4) loosen the hold-down clamp and remove the old battery; 5) fit the new one in the same orientation — with positive on the left match the polarity shown on the product sheet; 6) connect the positive (+) first, then the negative (−). On motorcycles with Start-Stop or BMS, register the battery via OBD so the alternator applies the correct charging profile. ### How long does the Exide AGM12-16 battery last? Expected lifespan of the Exide AGM12-16 is 5 to 8 years in mild-climate motorcycle use with Start-Stop. In cold regions it drops slightly due to cold-start stress; in very hot regions it also drops because of electrolyte evaporation. To extend its life: avoid deep discharges (headlights on with engine off), have the alternator checked yearly, and keep the battery clean and properly secured. ### What size is this battery? Dimensions (length × width × height) are 150×90×160 mm — also written as 150x90x160 mm — following the European DIN standard. Always measure the space in your motorcycle before buying: even one extra millimetre can prevent the hold-down clamp from closing. The height shown includes the terminals. ### What polarity does the Exide AGM12-16 battery have? Polarity: positive on the left. To identify it, place the battery in front of you with the terminals facing you and check which side the positive (+, marked with a red ring) is on. Before buying, verify the polarity matches your current battery: switching polarity forces longer cables or system reconfiguration, with short-circuit risk. ### Is the AGM12-16 valid for my vehicle? Three options to confirm: 1) enter your number plate in the finder (DGT/DVLA/KBA auto-detect your model and engine); 2) check the "Compatible vehicles" tab on this page, where we list every vehicle verified by our technical team; 3) if you cannot find your model, message us on WhatsApp with brand, model, engine and year — we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:40–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). The AGM12-16 typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format. ### Which interchangeable batteries are there for this one? Directly interchangeable batteries (same dimensions, same polarity, same Ah and CCA) are the OEM equivalents from leading brands: Bosch, Tudor, Exide and, depending on the model, Banner or Yuasa. Exact equivalence depends on technology — an EFB cannot be replaced with a conventional battery in Start-Stop motorcycles. See the "Equivalents" section to view recommended options at the same performance level. ## Equivalent batteries - [EXIDE ETX16-BS](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-exide-etx16-bs-12v-14ah-215a) - [EXIDE ETX20CH-BS](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-exide-etx20ch-bs-12v-18ah-230a) - [VARTA 514902022](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-moto-12v-14ah-ytx16-4-ytx16-bs-514902022) ## Reviews - **Average rating**: 5 / 5 (1 reviews) ## Technical team (editorial authorship) The FAQs, guides and comparisons on this site are reviewed by the baterias.com technical team — automotive battery specialists since 2012. → https://baterias.com/gb/technical-team --- *baterias.com — Automotive batteries · 2026-10-23*
