Ready to use, sealed and vibration-resistant. Fits any model that takes the same JIS reference — the code your mechanic recognises at a glance. ## 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 🔌 Voltage 12 V ⚡ Capacity 10,5 Ah C20 🔋 Cold cranking 180 A EN-1 📏 Dimensions 150×87×130 mm ⚙️ Technology GEL 🧭 Polarity Positive on the left ## Description ## Motorcycle battery Fulbat FTX12-BS 10.5Ah 180A 12V 12*V* Voltage 10.5*Ah* Capacity 180*A* Cold cranking The **Fulbat FTX12-BS** is a motorcycle battery with **10.5 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 150 × 87 × 130 mm format: same 10.5 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. ### What the Fulbat FTX12-BS is for With 10.5 Ah, the Fulbat FTX12-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. ### 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. ### When you get it and how to return it Same-day dispatch from our warehouse for in-stock orders placed **before 6:00 pm**: 24-48 working hours in mainland Spain and Portugal, 3 to 5 days in the islands and the rest of Europe. Returns are accepted for **14 days** if the battery has not been used (free collection on the Iberian mainland). You will receive tracking by email. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is this battery GEL? What is the typical use? 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: 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? Expected lifespan of the Fulbat FTX12-BS GEL 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 150×87×130 mm — also written as 150x87x130 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 Fulbat FTX12-BS GEL 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. ### Does this 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 16:30–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). The FTX12-BS GEL typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format. ### What are the equivalents of the FTX12-BS GEL model? 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 · 2026-11-03*
