## Description

## Motorcycle battery Exide E50-N18L-A3 Conventional 20Ah 260A 12V

12*V* Voltage
20*Ah* Capacity
260*A* Cold cranking
6.90*kg* Weight

With **20 Ah** at **12 V** and **260 A** of cold cranking current (EN), the **Exide E50-N18L-A3** with conventional lead-acid technology replaces the original battery of motorcycles, scooters, quads and personal watercraft. It replaces the original battery without adaptation in motorcycles with a 205 × 90 × 165 mm format: same 20 Ah capacity and the positive terminal on the right.
- Resistant to the vibration typical of two wheels.
- Energetic cranking for high-compression engines.
- Conventional lead-acid: the most proven and economical technology.
- Same JIS code as the original battery: fits first time.

### What the Exide E50-N18L-A3 is for

With 20 Ah, the Exide E50-N18L-A3 covers the starting of motorcycles, scooters, quads and personal watercraft. The JIS code on your current battery label is the safest way to confirm equivalence. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 6.90 kg, M04 terminals and B0 hold-down.

### Size, terminals and hold-down of the Exide E50-N18L-A3

It has external dimensions of 205 × 90 × 165 mm and weighs 6.90 kg. The positive terminal on the right 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. For a direct replacement, the current battery tray must accept these dimensions and the same terminal layout; otherwise adapters will be needed or the hold-down will change.

### The Exide E50-N18L-A3: Conventional range and conventional lead-acid technology

The E50-N18L-A3 is part of the Exide **Conventional** 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 a conventional battery the electrolyte is liquid and the lead plates are immersed in it. It is a mature, economical and easily recycled technology, ideal for starting vehicles in normal use.

### 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. At baterias.com we work directly with the manufacturer or its official distributor: real stock, brand-new product and official warranty.

### Warranty and coverage

The Exide E50-N18L-A3 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.

### Care and maintenance

Avoid repeated cranking attempts on a cold bike for long: if it does not start on the third try, let the battery rest for a minute. Check the resting voltage before the season (above 12.6 V on a charged battery) and make sure the terminals are clean and tight.

### Shipping, delivery and returns

Order **before [[ks:cutoff]]** with stock available and it leaves today: mainland Spain and Portugal receive it in 24-48 working hours, the islands and the rest of the EU in 3 to 5 days. You have **[[ks:return_days]] days** to return it if it has not been installed, with free collection on the mainland, and shipment tracking by email.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I fit the E50-N18L-A3 model in my motorcycle?

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 this page. 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 — 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 E50-N18L-A3 battery last?

Expected lifespan of the Exide E50-N18L-A3 is 4 to 7 years in regular use (depends on technology and climate). 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 205×90×165 mm — also written as 205x90x165 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.

### Will the Exide E50-N18L-A3 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 — we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:40–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). The E50-N18L-A3 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.
