The Exide EB12AL-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. Its 135 × 80 × 160 mm and the positive terminal on the right make it the exact replacement for the 12 Ah battery fitted as standard to many motorcycles.

  • Compact and lightweight format.
  • Holds its charge through winter storage.
  • Sealed and ready to fit, no acid handling.
  • Good balance of capacity, cranking power and price.

What the Exide EB12AL-A is for

The Exide EB12AL-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.

Will it fit your current battery tray?

The Exide EB12AL-A is made in the 135 × 80 × 160 mm format and weighs 4.20 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 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 EB12AL-A: Moto Convencional range and conventional lead-acid technology

Within the Exide catalogue, the Moto Convencional series groups the references designed for this use. The EB12AL-A is the 12 Ah model of that family, with the same performance as its siblings in other sizes.

Conventional lead-acid is the benchmark against which other technologies are compared: good cranking current, great tolerance to alternator charging and the best price per amp-hour.

Exide: the maker behind the EB12AL-A

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. 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 EB12AL-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

On batteries with filler caps, check the electrolyte level and top up only with distilled water. If the bike spends the winter standing, connect a trickle charger: deep discharge through inactivity is the first cause of premature failure.

When you get it and how to return it

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

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.

What is the service life of the YB12AL-A2 model?

As a guide, you can expect the Exide YB12AL-A2 to last 3 to 5 years, keeping it charged when the bike is not in use, although the real figure may be higher or lower. Actual lifespan varies with climate (cold starts, heat evaporating the electrolyte), with usage and short journeys, with the condition of the alternator and charging system, with power draw while parked and with maintenance.

What are the measurements of the YB12AL-A2 model?

Its dimensions are 135×80×160 mm, also written 135x80x160 mm; the height already includes the terminals. Check the room available in your motorcycle, because a single millimetre too much can stop the clamp from closing.

What polarity does the Exide YB12AL-A2 battery have?

On the Exide YB12AL-A2, the polarity is positive on the right. To check, stand the battery in front of you with the terminals nearest you: the positive (+) is the one with the red ring. A change of polarity from the original means longer cables or a reconfigured system and can cause a short circuit: check it before ordering.

Will the Exide YB12AL-A2 battery fit my motorcycle?

The quickest way is to enter your number plate in the finder: DGT/DVLA/KBA detect model and engine. You can also look at the "Compatible vehicles" tab, verified by our technical team, or send us make, model, engine and year on WhatsApp; we answer during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:30–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). Always cross-check with what the motorcycle manufacturer states in the owner's handbook.

Which batteries are equivalent to the Exide YB12AL-A2?

The "Equivalents" section of this page gathers the recommended options with equivalent performance. Interchangeable means the same dimensions, same polarity, same Ah and same CCA; for the YB12AL-A2, 12 Ah (165 A cranking).

Exide EB12AL-A or Motobatt MB12U: which one to choose?

It is the verified Motobatt equivalent for the EB12AL-A tray. Compared with the EB12AL-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.
