It replaces the original battery without adaptation in motorcycles with a 175 × 87 × 155 mm format: same 18 Ah capacity and the positive terminal on the right. - AGM technology: absorbed electrolyte, no spills, can be mounted at an angle. - Same JIS code as the original battery: fits first time. - Resistant to the vibration typical of two wheels. - Energetic cranking for high-compression engines. ### What the Exide ETX20HL-BS is for With 18 Ah, the Exide ETX20HL-BS 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 6.10 kg, M04 terminals and B0 hold-down. ### Size, terminals and hold-down of the Exide ETX20HL-BS In terms of format, the Exide ETX20HL-BS measures 175 × 87 × 155 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 6.10 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 M04 terminals, the system that anchors and connects it in the vehicle. Checking the three dimensions and the terminal position before buying avoids the most common mistake when replacing a battery. ### The Exide ETX20HL-BS: Moto AGM range and AGM technology The ETX20HL-BS is part of the Exide **Moto AGM** range. Choosing the right reference within the series comes down to capacity, dimensions and terminals: technology and quality are common to the whole family. AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology seals the electrolyte in glass microfibre. The result is a maintenance-free battery that is highly vibration-resistant and able to withstand deep discharges that would ruin a classic lead-acid battery. ### What Exide does differently With more than a century of history, Exide Technologies manufactures automotive, marine, motorcycle and industrial batteries in Europe. Its presence as original equipment on assembly lines vouches for the quality of every reference. All the Exide batteries in our catalogue are genuine product, recently manufactured and covered by the manufacturer's warranty. ### Warranty and coverage The Exide ETX20HL-BS 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. ### How to make it last longer If the bike spends the winter standing, connect a trickle charger: deep discharge through inactivity is the first cause of premature failure. Charge with a charger that has an AGM mode: it limits the voltage and protects the glass-fibre separators. ### When you get it and how to return it 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 ### Is the Exide ETX20HL-BS an AGM battery and what are the benefits of AGM? Yes. The ETX20HL-BS from Exide uses AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology: a sealed lead-acid battery where the electrolyte is absorbed in a glass-fibre mat. It withstands more charge/discharge cycles than a conventional one, handles heat better and is the required technology for motorcycles with advanced Start-Stop and regenerative braking. Expected lifespan: 5-8 years under normal conditions. ### How is the Exide ETX20HL-BS 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 our blog. 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 — with positive on the right 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. ### What is the service life of the ETX20HL-BS model? Expected lifespan of the Exide ETX20HL-BS is 5 to 8 years in mild-climate motorcycle use with Start-Stop. 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 dimensions of the Exide ETX20HL-BS battery? Dimensions (length × width × height) are 175×90×155 mm — also written as 175x90x155 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 ETX20HL-BS battery have? Polarity: positive on the right. 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 ETX20HL-BS 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 ETX20HL-BS typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format. ### Which interchangeable batteries are there for this one? 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. ## Equivalent batteries - [EXIDE AGM12-19](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-exide-agm12-19-12v-18ah-270a) - [VARTA 518918032](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-motorcycle-12v-18ah-ytx20hl-bs-518918032) ## Reviews - **Average rating**: 5 / 5 (1 reviews) ## 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 · 2026-10-28*
