The Fulbat FTX12-BS GEL in practice
FTX12-BS GEL vs Fulbat FTX14L-BS GEL
The Fulbat FTX12-BS GEL offers 10 Ah and 180 A cold cranking in a 150 × 87 × 130 mm case. The Fulbat FTX14L-BS GEL, same brand and technology, goes up to 12 Ah and 200 A and costs €10.35 more. Going up is only worth it if the tray allows it and the car cranks lazily in the cold; in normal use this one is plenty.

- Same JIS code as the original battery: fits first time.
- Resistant to the vibration typical of two wheels.
- Energetic cranking for high-compression engines.

Technology inside the Fulbat FTX12-BS
Fulbat builds the FTX12-BS to the same standards as the rest of its catalogue; what changes between references is capacity, format and terminal position.
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.
Size, terminals and hold-down of the Fulbat FTX12-BS
In terms of format, the Fulbat FTX12-BS measures 150 × 87 × 130 mm (length × width × height). 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. 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.
Fulbat: the maker behind the FTX12-BS
Fulbat has manufactured in France since 1978 and specialises in motorcycles and light vehicles. Its catalogue is short and clear, covers almost the whole fleet and works only with sealed, leak-free batteries. At baterias.com we work directly with the manufacturer or its official distributor: real stock, brand-new product and official warranty.
Usage and maintenance tips
GEL batteries need lower charging voltages: always use a charger with a GEL mode so as not to damage the electrolyte. Avoid repeated cranking attempts on a cold bike for long: if it does not start on the third try, let the battery rest for a minute.
Manufacturer's warranty
The Fulbat FTX12-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.

Frequently asked questions
Is this battery GEL? What is the typical use?
Yes, this model is a GEL battery: sealed lead-acid with the electrolyte in gel form. With very good deep-discharge tolerance, it is ideal for cyclic use: solar, motorhomes, electric wheelchairs and motorcycles. It needs a GEL-specific smart charger: its maximum charge voltage is lower than that of an AGM.
How should this motorcycle battery be charged?
With a 12 V motorcycle charger delivering at most 10 % of its capacity: 1.1 A for its 10.5 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.
What is the service life of the FTX12-BS GEL model?
There is no exact figure: for a battery such as the Fulbat FTX12-BS GEL (GEL), a reasonable guide is 4 to 6 years, keeping it charged when the bike is not in use. 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?
Measure the battery tray before ordering: a one-millimetre difference is enough for the hold-down clamp not to close. It measures 150×87×130 mm in length × width × height, with the terminals included in the height.
What polarity does the Fulbat FTX12-BS GEL battery have?
It has the positive on the left (polarity). If your current battery has its positive on the other side, this one is not suitable without longer cables or a reconfigured system (short-circuit risk). Put it in front of you, terminals towards you: the post with the red ring and the + sign is the positive.
Does this battery fit my motorcycle?
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.
What are the equivalents of the FTX12-BS GEL model?
See the "Equivalents" section of this page for the recommended options at the same performance level. A battery interchangeable with the Fulbat FTX12-BS GEL must match it on dimensions (150×87×130 mm), polarity (positive on the left), capacity (10.5 Ah) and cranking current (180 A).
