The Exide EB12A-A motorcycle battery is rated at 12 V, 12 Ah and 165 A of cold cranking current (EN) from the Moto Convencional range, and is designed for motorcycles, scooters, quads and personal watercraft. It replaces the original battery without adaptation in motorcycles with a 135 × 80 × 160 mm format: same 12 Ah capacity and the positive terminal on the left.

  • 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 EB12A-A is for

The Exide EB12A-A 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 4.20 kg, M06 terminals and B0 hold-down.

Dimensions, polarity and mounting

It has external dimensions of 135 × 80 × 160 mm and weighs 4.20 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 M06 terminals, the system that anchors and connects it in the vehicle. Checking the three dimensions and the terminal position before buying avoids the most common mistake when replacing a battery.

The Exide EB12A-A: Moto Convencional range and conventional lead-acid technology

The EB12A-A is part of the Exide Moto Convencional range. Choosing the right reference within the series comes down to capacity, dimensions and terminals: technology and quality are common to the whole family.

The conventional lead-acid battery remains the most widespread technology thanks to its balance of capacity, cranking current and price. Well maintained and kept charged, it offers years of reliable service in vehicles without Start-Stop.

Why choose Exide batteries

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. We guarantee that every Exide arrives new, charged and with the manufacturer's full warranty.

Warranty and coverage

The Exide EB12A-A 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.

Usage and maintenance tips

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. On batteries with filler caps, check the electrolyte level and top up only with distilled water.

When you get it and how to return it

Order before 6:00 pm with stock available and it leaves today: mainland Spain and Portugal receive it in 1 to 2 working days, the islands and the rest of the EU in 1 to 5 days. You have 14 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 should this motorcycle battery be charged?

With a 12 V motorcycle charger delivering at most 10 % of its capacity: 1.2 A for its 12 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?

Yes: it is a conventional lead-acid battery. Check the electrolyte level from time to time and, if it drops, top up with distilled water to the mark.

How long does the Exide 12N12A-4A-1 battery last?

Estimated lifespan of the Exide 12N12A-4A-1: 3 to 5 years, keeping it charged when the bike is not in use. Treat it as an approximate guide, as every case is different. 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 are the dimensions of the Exide 12N12A-4A-1 battery?

Length × width × height: 135x80x160 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.

On which side is the positive of the 12N12A-4A-1 model?

The 12N12A-4A-1 has the positive on the left: that is its polarity. Face the battery with its terminals nearest you and see which side the positive post (+, red ring) is on. 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.

Will the Exide 12N12A-4A-1 battery fit my motorcycle?

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)). If our table and the motorcycle handbook disagree, go with what the manufacturer says.

Which interchangeable batteries are there for this one?

Interchangeable means the same dimensions, same polarity, same Ah and same CCA; for the 12N12A-4A-1, 12 Ah (165 A cranking). The options at the same level are in the "Equivalents" section of this page.

Exide EB12A-A or Exide 12N12A-4A-1: which one to choose?

Same family as the EB12A-A, one step down. Compared with the EB12A-A it has 50 A of cold cranking less. It costs 3,15 € less. Fine if your bike originally had that capacity; if it came with the EB12A-A, do not go down.

Exide EB12A-A or Motobatt MB12U: which one to choose?

It is the verified Motobatt equivalent for the EB12A-A tray. Compared with the EB12A-A it has 3 Ah more and 5 A of cold cranking less. It costs 115,00 € more. Decide by price, brand preference and availability: both fit and crank the same.
