## 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.
