The Fulbat FTX20-BS is a motorcycle battery with 18.9 Ah and 270 A of cold cranking current (EN), designed for motorcycles, scooters, quads and personal watercraft. Its 175 × 87 × 155 mm and the positive terminal on the left make it the exact replacement for the 18.9 Ah battery fitted as standard to many motorcycles.
- Sealed and ready to fit, no acid handling.
- GEL: excellent resistance to deep discharge and long cycle life.
- Compact and lightweight format.
- Holds its charge through winter storage.
What the Fulbat FTX20-BS is for
Designed for motorcycles, scooters, quads and personal watercraft, the Fulbat FTX20-BS replaces the original battery of bikes that use this code or format. Check the position of the positive terminal before ordering.
Dimensions, polarity and mounting
In terms of format, the Fulbat FTX20-BS measures 175 × 87 × 155 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.
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. At baterias.com we work directly with the manufacturer or its official distributor: real stock, brand-new product and official warranty.
Technology inside the Fulbat FTX20-BS
The FTX20-BS is one of the Fulbat references for this type of use; it shares the same manufacturing and quality-control criteria as the rest of the brand's catalogue.
GEL technology fixes the acid in a solid gel. That removes maintenance and leaks and gives very long cycle life, in exchange for slightly slower recharging and lower peak current than an AGM.
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. If the bike spends the winter standing, connect a trickle charger: deep discharge through inactivity is the first cause of premature failure.
Official warranty
The Fulbat FTX20-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.

How to change the battery
Guide to replace your motorcycle battery in 10-15 minutes. Motorcycle batteries are light (2-5 kg) and usually need an 8 mm wrench.
Step 1. Prepare the vehicle
Park on a flat surface, switch off the engine and remove the key. Make sure all lights and electrical accessories are off. Wait 1-2 minutes before starting.
Step 2. Locate the battery compartment
On motorcycles it is usually under the seat, in the rear cowl or behind a side panel. Check the manual — access varies a lot between models.
Step 3. Disconnect the negative (−) terminal
Use the 10 mm wrench to loosen the negative cable nut (black, marked −) and remove the cable from the post. Move it aside so it cannot touch any bodywork.
Step 4. Disconnect the positive (+) terminal
Repeat with the positive cable (red, marked +). Important: never let a terminal touch metal of the car while the other is still connected.
Step 5. Remove the old battery
Loosen the hold-down clamp or the straps that secure it. Lift the battery carefully — typical weight 2-5 kg. Check the terminals are not corroded before fitting the new one.
Step 6. Install the new battery
Place the battery in the same orientation as the old one (positive terminal on the same side). Tighten the hold-down clamp firmly.
Step 7. Connect the cables
Connect the positive (+) terminal first, then the negative (−). Tighten the nuts with the wrench until each terminal does not move. Apply anti-spark grease if you have any.
Step 8. Verify the engine starts
Close the bonnet. Start the engine to confirm everything works. On cars with Start-Stop or a BMS, you may need to register the battery via OBD so the alternator applies the correct charging profile.
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 FTX20-BS GEL battery last?
Expected lifespan of the Fulbat FTX20-BS 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 are the dimensions of the Fulbat FTX20-BS GEL battery?
Dimensions (length × width × height) are 175×87×155 mm — also written as 175x87x155 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.
Will the Fulbat FTX20-BS GEL 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 FTX20-BS GEL typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format.
Which batteries are equivalent to the Fulbat FTX20-BS 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.
