Exide GEL12-19 12V 19Ah 170A is a motorcycle starter battery with standard JIS code (the one on your bike's original label). Ready to use, sealed and vibration-resistant. Fits any model that takes the same JIS reference — the code your mechanic recognises at a glance.
Where it fits: the Exide GEL12-19 is one of our motorcycle batteries, belongs to our Exide batteries and by capacity it sits among our 19Ah batteries.
The Exide GEL12-19 is a 19 Ah, 170 A gel motorcycle battery (185 × 80 × 170 mm): the one fitted to BMW boxers and GS models, many Moto Guzzis and large maxi-scooters. It comes factory-charged and sealed, no acid to add, and gel copes with vibration and engine heat better than a conventional AGM. Its direct equivalent by size is the YTX20CH-BS; check polarity.
Mostly to BMW R 1200, BMW R 1150, BMW R 1100 and BMW K (16 orders with the vehicle identified). Always confirm compatibility with your registration: tray size and terminal layout change between versions.

The Exide GEL12-19 motorcycle battery is rated at 12 V, 19 Ah and 170 A of cold cranking current (EN) from the Moto GEL range, and is designed for motorcycles, scooters, quads and personal watercraft. It measures 185 × 80 × 170 mm and the positive terminal on the right, the format sought by anyone replacing a 19 Ah battery in motorcycles.
In short: the Exide GEL12-19 (19 Ah, 170 A, 185 × 80 × 170 mm, positive terminal on the right) is rated 5.00 out of 5 in 11 customer reviews.
The Exide GEL12-19 is a common replacement in motorcycles, scooters, quads and personal watercraft. If your bike spends the winter standing, a trickle charger stops it reaching spring flat. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 6.50 kg, M11 terminals and B0 hold-down.
The Moto GEL is the Exide range the GEL12-19 belongs to: it shares the same construction and quality criteria with the rest of the series, and varies in capacity and format to suit each vehicle.
A GEL battery is the choice when cycle resistance and safety matter most: no gases, no liquid and thousands of partial discharges in its lifetime.
In terms of format, the Exide GEL12-19 measures 185 × 80 × 170 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 6.50 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 M11 terminals, the system that anchors and connects it in the vehicle. For a direct replacement, the current battery tray must accept these dimensions and the same terminal layout; otherwise adapters will be needed or the hold-down will change.
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. We guarantee that every Exide arrives new, charged and with the manufacturer's full warranty.
If the bike spends the winter standing, connect a trickle charger: deep discharge through inactivity is the first cause of premature failure. Check the resting voltage before the season (above 12.6 V on a charged battery) and make sure the terminals are clean and tight.
The Exide GEL12-19 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.
Order before 6:00 pm with stock available and it leaves today: mainland Spain and Portugal receive it in 1 to 2 working days, the islands and the rest of the EU in 1 to 5 days. You have 14 days to return it if it has not been installed, with free collection on the mainland, and shipment tracking by email.

Equivalences verified by our technical team: same dimensions, polarity, capacity and CCA. Official manufacturer warranty on every option.
Other 19Ah batteries: We stock 12 models of 19 Ah to compare by price, technology and cold cranking: see all 19Ah batteries. Same size (185 × 80 × 170 mm): batteries of 185 × 80 × 170 mm.
Yes, this model is a GEL battery: sealed lead-acid with the electrolyte in gel form. Its maximum charge voltage is lower than an AGM's, so a GEL-specific smart charger is needed. Deep discharges are its strong point, so it suits cyclic use: solar, motorhomes, electric wheelchairs or motorcycles.
With a 12 V motorcycle charger delivering at most 10 % of its capacity: 1.9 A for its 19 Ah. High-current car chargers can damage it. If the bike is laid up for the winter, keep it on a maintenance charger.
No: being GEL, it is sealed and nothing needs topping up. Just keep it charged if the bike stands for a long time.
Estimated lifespan of the Exide 52015: 4 to 6 years, keeping it charged when the bike is not in use. Treat it as an approximate guide, as every case is different. What weighs most: temperature (cold makes starts harder and intense heat evaporates the electrolyte), frequent short trips, the condition of the alternator and charging system, power draw while parked and maintenance.
Measure the battery tray before ordering: a one-millimetre difference is enough for the hold-down clamp not to close. It measures 185×80×170 mm in length × width × height, with the terminals included in the height.
The 52015 has the positive on the right: that is its polarity. Face the battery with its terminals nearest you and see which side the positive post (+, red ring) is on. Compare it with the battery you are replacing: if it does not match, cables must be lengthened or the system reconfigured, with a risk of short circuit.
Three routes: the "Compatible vehicles" tab on this page, with the vehicles verified by our technical team; your number plate in the finder, from which DGT/DVLA/KBA detect model and engine; and WhatsApp, with make, model, engine and year, during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:30–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). In every case, the motorcycle manufacturer's specifications (owner's handbook) take precedence.
The "Equivalents" section further down lists the recommended alternatives. A battery interchangeable with the Exide 52015 must match it on dimensions (185×80×170 mm), polarity (positive on the right), capacity (19 Ah) and cranking current (170 A).
Same case and same fitting as the GEL12-19, from Varta. Compared with the GEL12-19 it has the same Ah and cranking power. It costs 23,25 € more. If you want to save or the GEL12-19 is out of stock, it is the safe alternative: same dimensions, same polarity and official warranty.
