Vibration-resistant, keeps voltage during the winter off-season and cranks first time when you take it out for a ride. ## Why this motorcycle battery? - **Same JIS reference** as your bike's original β€” fits first time - **Sealed and ready to use** no acid handling, no refills - **Survives winter storage** holds charge through long off-season πŸ”Œ Voltage 12 V ⚑ Capacity 18 Ah C20 πŸ”‹ Cold cranking 230 A EN-1 πŸ“ Dimensions 150Γ—90Γ—160 mm βš™οΈ Technology AGM 🧭 Polarity Positive on the left ## Description ## Motorcycle battery Exide AGM12-17 18Ah 230A 12V 12*V* Voltage 18*Ah* Capacity 230*A* Cold cranking 5.50*kg* Weight 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 Γ— 90 Γ— 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 Γ— 90 Γ— 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 AGM12-17 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 AGM12-17 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 (βˆ’) 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 β€” with positive on the left match the polarity shown on the product sheet; 6) connect the positive (+) first, then the negative (βˆ’). On motorcycles with Start-Stop or BMS, register the battery via OBD so the alternator applies the correct charging profile. ### How many years does this battery last? Expected lifespan of the Exide AGM12-17 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 are the dimensions of the Exide AGM12-17 battery? Dimensions (length Γ— width Γ— height) are 150Γ—90Γ—160 mm β€” also written as 150x90x160 mm β€” 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 AGM12-17 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. ### Will the Exide AGM12-17 battery fit my motorcycle? 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 β€” we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:40–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). The AGM12-17 typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format. ### Which batteries are equivalent to the Exide AGM12-17? 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 β€” 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 ETX20CH-BS](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-exide-etx20ch-bs-12v-18ah-230a) ## Technical team (editorial authorship) The FAQs, guides and comparisons on this site are reviewed by the baterias.com technical team β€” automotive battery specialists since 2012. β†’ https://baterias.com/gb/technical-team --- *baterias.com β€” Automotive batteries Β· 2026-10-28*
