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.

Frequently asked questions
How should this motorcycle battery be charged?
With a 12 V motorcycle charger delivering at most 10 % of its capacity: 0.5 A for its 5 Ah. High-current car chargers can damage it. If the bike is laid up for the winter, keep it on a maintenance charger. As it is lithium, use a charger with a lithium mode: lead-acid chargers can damage it.
Does it need maintenance?
No: being lithium, it is sealed and nothing needs topping up. Just keep it charged if the bike stands for a long time.
How long does the Exide ELT12B battery last?
Expected lifespan of the Exide ELT12B is 6 to 8 years, using a charger with a lithium mode. In cold regions it drops slightly due to cold-start stress; in very hot regions it also drops because of electrolyte evaporation. To extend its life: avoid deep discharges (headlights on with engine off), have the alternator checked yearly, and keep the battery clean and properly secured.
What are the measurements of the ELT12B model?
Dimensions (length × width × height) are 150×70×130 mm — also written as 150x70x130 mm — following the European DIN standard. Always measure the space in your motorcycle before buying: even one extra millimetre can prevent the hold-down clamp from closing. The height shown includes the terminals.
What polarity does the Exide ELT12B battery have?
Polarity: positive on the left. To identify it, place the battery in front of you with the terminals facing you and check which side the positive (+, marked with a red ring) is on. Before buying, verify the polarity matches your current battery: switching polarity forces longer cables or system reconfiguration, with short-circuit risk.
Will the Exide ELT12B battery fit my motorcycle?
Three options to confirm: 1) enter your number plate in the finder (DGT/DVLA/KBA auto-detect your model and engine); 2) check the "Compatible vehicles" tab on this page, where we list every vehicle verified by our technical team; 3) if you cannot find your model, message us on WhatsApp with brand, model, engine and year — we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:40–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). The ELT12B typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format.
Which batteries are equivalent to the Exide ELT12B?
Directly interchangeable batteries (same dimensions, same polarity, same Ah and CCA) are the OEM equivalents from leading brands: Bosch, Tudor, Exide and, depending on the model, Banner or Yuasa. Exact equivalence depends on technology — an EFB cannot be replaced with a conventional battery in Start-Stop motorcycles. See the "Equivalents" section to view recommended options at the same performance level.
