It measures 180 × 90 × 160 mm and the positive terminal on the right, the format sought by anyone replacing a 18 Ah battery in motorcycles. - Energetic cranking for high-compression engines. - Resistant to the vibration typical of two wheels. - Same JIS code as the original battery: fits first time. - Conventional lead-acid: the most proven and economical technology. ### What the Exide EB18L-A is for With 18 Ah, the Exide EB18L-A 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 kg, M07 terminals and B0 hold-down. ### Dimensions, polarity and mounting In terms of format, the Exide EB18L-A measures 180 × 90 × 160 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 6 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 M07 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 EB18L-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 EB18L-A is the 18 Ah model of that family, with the same performance as its siblings in other sizes. 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. ### What Exide does differently 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. ### Manufacturer's warranty The Exide EB18L-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 Check the resting voltage before the season (above 12.6 V on a charged battery) and make sure the terminals are clean and tight. If the bike spends the winter standing, connect a trickle charger: deep discharge through inactivity is the first cause of premature failure. ### Delivery times and returns 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: 1.8 A for its 18 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 YB18L-A2 battery last? As a guide, you can expect the Exide YB18L-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. It can vary considerably with usage (short or long journeys), temperature, the condition of the alternator and charging system, power drawn with the engine off and maintenance. Cold demands more at every start and intense heat evaporates the electrolyte. ### What are the dimensions of the Exide YB18L-A2 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: 180x90x160 mm. Height is measured to the top of the terminals. ### What polarity does the Exide YB18L-A2 battery have? On the Exide YB18L-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 YB18L-A2 battery fit my motorcycle? The YB18L-A2 typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format. Not sure? Try your number plate in the finder (DGT/DVLA/KBA detect model and engine) or the "Compatible vehicles" tab, checked by our technical team; if your motorcycle is not there, send us make, model, engine and year on WhatsApp and we will 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 batteries are equivalent to the Exide YB18L-A2? Interchangeable means the same dimensions, same polarity, same Ah and same CCA; for the YB18L-A2, 18 Ah (190 A cranking). The "Equivalents" section further down lists the recommended alternatives. ### Exide EB18L-A or Varta YB18L-A: which one to choose? The Varta alternative that fits where the EB18L-A goes, with the same polarity. Compared with the EB18L-A it has 10 A of cold cranking more. It costs 93,50 € more. A straight swap with nothing to adapt; the difference is the price and the brand you prefer. ## Equivalent batteries - [VARTA 518015018](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-moto-12v-18ah-yb18l-a-518015018) ## Technical team (editorial authorship) The FAQs, guides and comparisons on this site are reviewed by the baterias.com technical team — automotive battery specialists since 2012. → https://baterias.com/gb/technical-team --- *baterias.com — Automotive batteries · 2026-11-15*
