Motorcycle battery Exide EB12AL-A2 Moto Convencional 12Ah 165A 12V
The Exide EB12AL-A2 from the Moto Convencional range is a motorcycle battery with 12 Ah and 165 A of cold cranking current (EN), designed for motorcycles, scooters, quads and personal watercraft. It measures 135 × 80 × 160 mm and the positive terminal on the right, the format sought by anyone replacing a 12 Ah battery in motorcycles.
- Same JIS code as the original battery: fits first time.
- Conventional lead-acid: the most proven and economical technology.
- Energetic cranking for high-compression engines.
- Resistant to the vibration typical of two wheels.
Will it fit your current battery tray?
It has external dimensions of 135 × 80 × 160 mm 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 M04 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.
What the Exide EB12AL-A2 is for
With 12 Ah, the Exide EB12AL-A2 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 4.20 kg, M04 terminals and B0 hold-down.
The Exide EB12AL-A2: Moto Convencional range and conventional lead-acid technology
The EB12AL-A2 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.
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-A2
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. We guarantee that every Exide arrives new, charged and with the manufacturer's full warranty.
Official warranty
The Exide EB12AL-A2 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.
How to make it last longer
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.

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 many years does this battery last?
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 size is this battery?
Measure your motorcycle's battery tray first; if the battery exceeds it by even a millimetre, the hold-down clamp may not close. Length × width × height: 135x80x160 mm. Height is measured to the top of the terminals.
On which side is the positive of the YB12AL-A2 model?
On the Exide YB12AL-A2, the polarity is positive on the right. If your current battery has its positive on the other side, this one is not suitable without longer cables or a reconfigured system (short-circuit risk). To check, stand the battery in front of you with the terminals nearest you: the positive (+) is the one with the red ring.
Does this 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)). If our table and the motorcycle handbook disagree, go with what the manufacturer says.
What are the equivalents of the YB12AL-A2 model?
See the "Equivalents" section of this page for the recommended options at the same performance level. Interchangeable means the same dimensions, same polarity, same Ah and same CCA; for the YB12AL-A2, 12 Ah (165 A cranking).
Exide EB12AL-A2 or Motobatt MB12U: which one to choose?
It is the verified Motobatt equivalent for the EB12AL-A2 tray. Compared with the EB12AL-A2 it has 3 Ah more and 5 A of cold cranking less. It costs 128,00 € more. Decide by price, brand preference and availability: both fit and crank the same.
