Motorcycle battery Fulbat FTX16-BS 14.7Ah 230A 12V

230ACold cranking

The Fulbat FTX16-BS motorcycle battery is rated at 12 V, 14.7 Ah and 230 A of cold cranking current (EN), and is designed for motorcycles, scooters, quads and personal watercraft. Its 150 × 87 × 161 mm and the positive terminal on the left make it the exact replacement for the 14.7 Ah battery fitted as standard to many motorcycles.

In short: the Fulbat FTX16-BS (14 Ah, 230 A, 150 × 87 × 161 mm, positive left). Verified equivalent alternatives: Exide AGM12-16 and Varta YTX20CH-BS.

  • Sealed and ready to fit, no acid handling.
  • AGM: faster recharging and better cycle resistance than a conventional battery.
  • Compact and lightweight format.
  • Holds its charge through winter storage.

Size, terminals and hold-down of the Fulbat FTX16-BS

The Fulbat FTX16-BS is made in the 150 × 87 × 161 mm format. 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. 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.

What the Fulbat FTX16-BS is for

The Fulbat FTX16-BS 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.

Technology inside the Fulbat FTX16-BS

Within the Fulbat catalogue, the FTX16-BS is the 14.7 Ah model designed for this application.

AGM means the acid is held in a glass mat instead of floating free. That is why the battery can be installed in the cabin without gases, survives more cycles and recovers its charge quickly.

Why choose Fulbat batteries

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. All the Fulbat batteries in our catalogue are genuine product, recently manufactured and covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

Manufacturer's warranty

The Fulbat FTX16-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.

Care and maintenance

Charge with a charger that has an AGM mode: it limits the voltage and protects the glass-fibre separators. 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

Order before 6:00 pm with stock available and it leaves today: mainland Spain and Portugal receive it in 24-48 working hours, the islands and the rest of the EU in 3 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.

Frequently asked questions

Is the FTX16-BS model AGM? What does this technology offer?

Yes. The FTX16-BS from Fulbat uses AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology: a sealed lead-acid battery where the electrolyte is absorbed in a glass-fibre mat. It withstands more charge/discharge cycles than a conventional one, handles heat better and is the required technology for motorcycles with advanced Start-Stop and regenerative braking. Expected lifespan: 5-8 years under normal conditions.

How should this motorcycle battery be charged?

With a 12 V motorcycle charger delivering at most 10 % of its capacity: 1.5 A for its 14.7 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 AGM, 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 FTX16-BS model?

Expected lifespan of the Fulbat FTX16-BS 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 are the dimensions of the Fulbat FTX16-BS battery?

Dimensions (length × width × height) are 150×87×161 mm — also written as 150x87x161 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.

On which side is the positive of the FTX16-BS model?

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.

Will the Fulbat FTX16-BS 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 16:40–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). The FTX16-BS typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format.

Which batteries are equivalent to the Fulbat FTX16-BS?

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.
