The Exide AGM12-17 is a motorcycle battery with 18 Ah and 230 A of cold cranking current (EN), designed for motorcycles, scooters, quads and personal watercraft. Its 150 × 90 × 160 mm and the positive terminal on the left make it the exact replacement for the 18 Ah battery fitted as standard to many motorcycles.

  • Sealed and ready to fit, no acid handling.
  • AGM: faster recharging and better cycle resistance than a conventional battery.
  • Compact and lightweight format.
  • Holds its charge through winter storage.

What the Exide AGM12-17 is for

Designed for motorcycles, scooters, quads and personal watercraft, the Exide AGM12-17 replaces the original battery of bikes that use this code or format. Check the position of the positive terminal before ordering. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 5.50 kg.

Dimensions, polarity and mounting

The Exide AGM12-17 is made in the 150 × 90 × 160 mm format 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. 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.

Why choose Exide batteries

Exide is one of the world's largest battery manufacturers and an original-equipment supplier to many car makers. Its European plants produce starter, industrial and leisure batteries under original-equipment quality controls. All the Exide batteries in our catalogue are genuine product, recently manufactured and covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

Technology inside the Exide AGM12-17

Exide builds the AGM12-17 to the same standards as the rest of its catalogue; what changes between references is capacity, format and terminal position.

AGM means the acid is held in a glass mat instead of floating free. That is why the battery can be installed in the cabin without gases, survives more cycles and recovers its charge quickly.

How to make it last longer

Charge with a charger that has an AGM mode: it limits the voltage and protects the glass-fibre separators. If the bike spends the winter standing, connect a trickle charger: deep discharge through inactivity is the first cause of premature failure.

Warranty and coverage

The Exide AGM12-17 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.

Shipping, delivery and returns

Orders placed before 6:00 pm with the battery in stock ship the same day. Delivery in mainland Spain and Portugal takes 24-48 working hours; for the Balearic Islands and the rest of the European Union allow 3 to 5 working days. You have 14 days to return an unused battery; in mainland Spain and Portugal collection is free. We email you the tracking number as soon as the parcel ships.

Frequently asked questions

Is this battery AGM? What is it for?

Yes. The Exide AGM12-17 is AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat): sealed lead-acid, with the electrolyte absorbed in glass fibre. Compared with a conventional battery it withstands more charge/discharge cycles and handles heat better.

How should this motorcycle battery be charged?

With a 12 V motorcycle charger delivering at most 10 % of its capacity: 1.8 A for its 18 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 many years does this battery last?

As a guide, you can expect the Exide AGM12-17 to last 4 to 6 years, keeping it charged when the bike is not in use, although the real figure may be higher or lower. What weighs most: temperature (cold makes starts harder and intense heat evaporates the electrolyte), frequent short trips, the condition of the alternator and charging system, power draw while parked and maintenance.

What are the dimensions of the Exide AGM12-17 battery?

Length × width × height: 150x90x160 mm. Height is measured to the top of the terminals. Measure your motorcycle's battery tray first; if the battery exceeds it by even a millimetre, the hold-down clamp may not close.

What polarity does the Exide AGM12-17 battery have?

On the Exide AGM12-17, the polarity is positive on the left. It must match your current battery: reversed polarity means lengthening cables or reconfiguring the system, with a risk of short circuit. To check, stand the battery in front of you with the terminals nearest you: the positive (+) is the one with the red ring.

Will the Exide AGM12-17 battery fit my motorcycle?

Three routes: the "Compatible vehicles" tab on this page, with the vehicles verified by our technical team; your number plate in the finder, from which DGT/DVLA/KBA detect model and engine; and WhatsApp, with make, model, engine and year, during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:30–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). If our table and the motorcycle handbook disagree, go with what the manufacturer says.

Which batteries are equivalent to the Exide AGM12-17?

The options at the same level are in the "Equivalents" section of this page. A direct equivalent needs what this AGM12-17 offers: 150×90×160 mm, positive on the left, the same Ah and CCA and AGM technology.
