## Description

## Motorcycle battery Fulbat FTX16 14.7Ah 230A 12V

12*V* Voltage
14.7*Ah* Capacity
230*A* Cold cranking

With **14.7 Ah** at **12 V** and **230 A** of cold cranking current (EN), the **Fulbat FTX16** with GEL technology replaces the original battery of motorcycles, scooters, quads and personal watercraft. It replaces the original battery without adaptation in motorcycles with a 150 × 87 × 161 mm format: same 14.7 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 FTX16 is for

Designed for motorcycles, scooters, quads and personal watercraft, the Fulbat FTX16 replaces the original battery of bikes that use this code or format. Check the position of the positive terminal before ordering.

### Technology inside the Fulbat FTX16

Fulbat builds the FTX16 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 FTX16

The Fulbat FTX16 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. 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.

### 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. We guarantee that every Fulbat arrives new, charged and with the manufacturer's full warranty.

### 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.

### Manufacturer's warranty

The Fulbat FTX16 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.

### Delivery times and returns

Same-day dispatch from our warehouse for in-stock orders placed **before [[ks:cutoff]]**: 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 **[[ks:return_days]] days** if the battery has not been used (free collection on the Iberian mainland). You will receive tracking by email.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I change this battery step by step?

In most motorcycles it fits in 15-30 minutes with a 10 mm wrench; if the battery is under the seat or in the boot the time can double. See the step-by-step guide on this page. Quick summary: 1) switch off the engine and remove the key; 2) locate the original battery (engine bay, boot or under seat); 3) disconnect the negative (−) terminal first, then the positive (+); 4) loosen the hold-down clamp and remove the old battery; 5) fit the new one in the same orientation — match the polarity shown on the product sheet; 6) connect the positive (+) first, then the negative (−). On motorcycles with Start-Stop or BMS, register the battery via OBD so the alternator applies the correct charging profile.

### How long does the Fulbat FTX16 GEL battery last?

Expected lifespan of the Fulbat FTX16 GEL is 4 to 7 years in regular use (depends on technology and climate). 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 150×87×161 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.

### Is the FTX16 GEL 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 FTX16 GEL typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format.

### Which batteries are equivalent to the Fulbat FTX16 GEL?

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.
