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 GEL12-30 🔌 Voltage 12 V ⚡ Capacity 30 Ah C20 🔋 Cold cranking 180 A EN-1 📏 Dimensions 197×132×186 mm ⚙️ Technology GEL 🧭 Polarity Positive on the left ⚖️ Weight 11,1 kg 🏷️ Model EXIDE MOTO GEL 12V #️⃣ Mfr. reference GEL12-30 ## Description ## Motorcycle battery Exide GEL12-30 Moto GEL 30Ah 180A 12V 12*V* Voltage 30*Ah* Capacity 180*A* Cold cranking 11.10*kg* Weight 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, this model is a GEL battery: sealed lead-acid where the electrolyte is in gel form. It tolerates deep discharges very well and is ideal for cyclic use (solar, motorhomes, electric wheelchairs, motorcycles). Requires a GEL-specific smart charger — max charge voltage ~14.1 V (vs 14.4-14.7 V for AGM). Lifespan 6-10 years. ### 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? Expected lifespan of the Exide GEL12-30 is 4 to 6 years, keeping it charged when the bike is not in use. 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 size is this battery? Dimensions (length × width × height) are 197×132×186 mm — also written as 197x132x186 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 GEL12-30 battery have? Polarity: positive on the left. 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. ### Is the GEL12-30 valid for my vehicle? 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 GEL12-30 typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format. ### Which batteries are equivalent to the Exide GEL12-30? 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. ## 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 · 2026-11-01*
