Exide ELT12B · Motorcycle battery 12V 5Ah 260A Li-Ion

Lithium motorcycle battery Exide ELT12B Moto Litio 5Ah 260A 12V

Designed for motorcycles and quads looking to save weight and gain cranking power, the LiFePO4 Exide ELT12B cranks hard and weighs a fraction of an equivalent lead-acid battery. Its 150 × 65 × 130 mm and the positive terminal on the left make it the exact replacement for the 5 Ah battery fitted as standard to many motorcycles.

• Instant cranking even after weeks of standing.
• Built-in BMS protecting the battery and the vehicle.
• Battery management system (BMS) protecting against overcharge and short circuit.
• No acid, no maintenance, mounts in any position.

Size, terminals and hold-down of the Exide ELT12B

It has external dimensions of 150 × 65 × 130 mm and weighs 0.90 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 M12 terminals, the system that anchors and connects it in the vehicle. Before replacing it, measure your current battery tray: if all three dimensions and the terminal positions match, the swap is direct and needs no adapters.

What the Exide ELT12B is for

With its reduced weight, the Exide ELT12B is a popular upgrade on sport, off-road and restored classic bikes looking to shed kilos. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 0.90 kg, M12 terminals and B0 hold-down.

The Exide ELT12B: Moto Litio range and LiFePO4 lithium technology

Within the Exide catalogue, the Moto Litio series groups the references designed for this use. The ELT12B is the 5 Ah model of that family, with the same performance as its siblings in other sizes.

Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) offers far higher energy density than lead: the battery weighs a fraction, hardly self-discharges and withstands thousands of cycles. A built-in BMS monitors voltage, temperature and cell balance.

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

Manufacturer's warranty

The Exide ELT12B comes with the manufacturer's official warranty. Always charge with a LiFePO4-compatible charger: a lead-acid charger with a desulphation phase can damage it and void the warranty.

Care and maintenance

Store the battery at 50-70% charge if it will be unused for months. Check that the bike's regulator does not exceed 14.6 V; if the vehicle stands for long periods, an occasional maintenance charge is enough.

Shipping, delivery and returns

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.
