Technology inside the Fulbat FTX20A-BS
Within the Fulbat catalogue, the FTX20A-BS is the 18.9 Ah model designed for this application.
In a GEL battery the electrolyte is gelled with silica: it is fully sealed, cannot spill and tolerates deep discharge very well. It is the preferred technology in electric mobility, marine service and heavy-cycling applications.
Fulbat: the maker behind the FTX20A-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. We guarantee that every Fulbat arrives new, charged and with the manufacturer's full warranty.
Official warranty
The Fulbat FTX20A-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
Check the resting voltage before the season (above 12.6 V on a charged battery) and make sure the terminals are clean and tight. GEL batteries need lower charging voltages: always use a charger with a GEL mode so as not to damage the electrolyte.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Fulbat FTX20A-BS GEL a GEL battery? What is GEL used for?
Yes. The Fulbat FTX20A-BS GEL is GEL: sealed lead-acid in which the electrolyte is a gel. Designed for cyclic use (solar installations, motorhomes, electric wheelchairs, motorcycles), it tolerates deep discharges very well. 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: 1.9 A for its 18.9 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.
How long does the Fulbat FTX20A-BS GEL battery last?
As a guide, you can expect the Fulbat FTX20A-BS GEL to last 4 to 6 years, keeping it charged when the bike is not in use, although the real figure may be higher or lower. Many factors play a part: how it is used (lots of short trips, for example), temperature (cold makes every start harder and intense heat evaporates the electrolyte), the condition of the alternator and charging system, power drawn with the engine off and maintenance.
What are the dimensions of the Fulbat FTX20A-BS GEL battery?
Length × width × height: 150x87x161 mm. Height is measured to the top of the terminals. Measure your motorcycle's battery tray first; if the battery exceeds it by even a millimetre, the hold-down clamp may not close.
What polarity does the Fulbat FTX20A-BS GEL battery have?
On the Fulbat FTX20A-BS GEL, the polarity is positive on the left. 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). To check, stand the battery in front of you with the terminals nearest you: the positive (+) is the one with the red ring.
Does this battery fit my motorcycle?
For your own vehicle: type your number plate into the finder (DGT/DVLA/KBA identify model and engine), check the "Compatible vehicles" tab below, listing vehicles verified by our technical team, or message us on WhatsApp with make, model, engine and year; we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:30–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). If our table and the motorcycle handbook disagree, go with what the manufacturer says.
Which batteries are equivalent to the Fulbat FTX20A-BS GEL?
A direct equivalent needs what this FTX20A-BS GEL offers: 150×87×161 mm, positive on the left, the same Ah and CCA and GEL technology. The options at the same level are in the "Equivalents" section of this page.
