Vibration-resistant, keeps voltage during the winter off-season and cranks first time when you take it out for a ride. ## Why this motorcycle battery? - **Same JIS reference** as your bike's original — fits first time - **Sealed and ready to use** no acid handling, no refills - **Survives winter storage** holds charge through long off-season 🏍️ JIS code ELT12B 🔌 Voltage 12 V ⚡ Capacity 5 Ah C20 🔋 Cold cranking 260 A EN-1 📏 Dimensions 150×70×130 mm ⚙️ Technology Litio (LiFePO4) 🧭 Polarity Positive on the left ⚖️ Weight 0,9 kg 🏷️ Model EXIDE MOTO LITHIUM #️⃣ Mfr. reference ELT12B ## Description ## Lithium motorcycle battery Exide ELT12B Moto Litio 5Ah 260A 12V 12*V* Voltage 5*Ah* Capacity 260*A* Cold cranking 0.90*kg* Weight 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 [[ks:cutoff]]** with the battery in stock ship the same day. Delivery in mainland Spain and Portugal takes 24-48 working hours; for the Balearic and Canary Islands and the rest of the European Union allow 3 to 5 working days. You have **[[ks:return_days]] 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 is the Exide ELT12B battery installed in the vehicle? In most motorcycles it fits in 15-30 minutes with a 10 mm wrench; if the battery is under the seat or in the boot the time can double. See the step-by-step guide on this page. Quick summary: 1) switch off the engine and remove the key; 2) locate the original battery (engine bay, boot or under seat); 3) disconnect the negative (−) terminal first, then the positive (+); 4) loosen the hold-down clamp and remove the old battery; 5) fit the new one in the same orientation — match the polarity shown on the product sheet; 6) connect the positive (+) first, then the negative (−). On motorcycles with Start-Stop or BMS, register the battery via OBD so the alternator applies the correct charging profile. ### How long does the Exide ELT12B battery last? Expected lifespan of the Exide ELT12B is 4 to 7 years in regular use (depends on technology and climate). 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. ### 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. ## Reviews - **Average rating**: 4.79 / 5 (32 reviews) ## Technical team (editorial authorship) The FAQs, guides and comparisons on this site are reviewed by the baterias.com technical team — over 25 years of experience validating automotive batteries. → https://baterias.com/gb/technical-team --- *baterias.com — Automotive batteries · 2026-10-06*
