The Exide GEL12-30 from the Moto GEL range is a motorcycle battery with 30 Ah and 180 A of cold cranking current (EN), designed for motorcycles, scooters, quads and personal watercraft. It replaces the original battery without adaptation in motorcycles with a 197 × 132 × 186 mm format: same 30 Ah capacity and the positive terminal on the left.

  • GEL technology: gelled electrolyte, fully sealed and maintenance-free.
  • Same JIS code as the original battery: fits first time.
  • Resistant to the vibration typical of two wheels.
  • Energetic cranking for high-compression engines.

Will it fit your current battery tray?

In terms of format, the Exide GEL12-30 measures 197 × 132 × 186 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 11.10 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 EN full Ford lug 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 GEL12-30 is for

The Exide GEL12-30 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 11.10 kg, EN full Ford lug terminals and B0 hold-down.

The Exide GEL12-30: Moto GEL range and GEL technology

The GEL12-30 is part of the Exide Moto GEL range. Choosing the right reference within the series comes down to capacity, dimensions and terminals: technology and quality are common to the whole family.

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.

Exide: the maker behind the GEL12-30

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. At baterias.com we work directly with the manufacturer or its official distributor: real stock, brand-new product and official warranty.

Official warranty

The Exide GEL12-30 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.

Care and maintenance

GEL batteries need lower charging voltages: always use a charger with a GEL mode so as not to damage the electrolyte. Check the resting voltage before the season (above 12.6 V on a charged battery) and make sure the terminals are clean and tight.

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

Is the Exide GEL12-30 a GEL battery? What is GEL used for?

Yes: in the GEL12-30 the electrolyte is gelled. It is a sealed lead-acid GEL battery. With very good deep-discharge tolerance, it is ideal for cyclic use: solar, motorhomes, electric wheelchairs and motorcycles. Charge it only with a GEL-specific smart charger; its voltage limit is below that of an AGM.

How should this motorcycle battery be charged?

With a 12 V motorcycle charger delivering at most 10 % of its capacity: 3 A for its 30 Ah. High-current car chargers can damage it. If the bike is laid up for the winter, keep it on a maintenance charger.

Does it need maintenance?

No: being GEL, 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 GEL12-30 battery last?

Estimated lifespan of the Exide GEL12-30: 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.

What size is this battery?

The Exide GEL12-30 takes up 197×132×186 mm (length, width and height, terminals included). Before buying, measure the space in your motorcycle: one extra millimetre can stop the hold-down clamp from closing.

What polarity does the Exide GEL12-30 battery have?

The GEL12-30 has the positive on the left: that is its polarity. It must match your current battery: reversed polarity means lengthening cables or reconfiguring the system, with a risk of short circuit. Face the battery with its terminals nearest you and see which side the positive post (+, red ring) is on.

Is the GEL12-30 valid for my vehicle?

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)). The motorcycle manufacturer's specifications always take priority over our tables.

Which batteries are equivalent to the Exide GEL12-30?

The options at the same level are in the "Equivalents" section of this page. A battery interchangeable with the Exide GEL12-30 must match it on dimensions (197×132×186 mm), polarity (positive on the left), capacity (30 Ah) and cranking current (180 A).
