The Motobatt MB16U in practice

MB16U vs Motobatt MB18U

The Motobatt MB16U offers 20 Ah and 240 A cold cranking in a 160 × 90 × 161 mm case. The Motobatt MB18U, same brand and technology, goes up to 22 Ah and 280 A with 20 mm more length and costs €181.50 more. The difference shows on diesels and in hard winters; for a daily-driven petrol car the extra is not needed.

The Motobatt YB16BA-YB16BA2 motorcycle battery is rated at 12 V, 20 Ah and 240 A of cold cranking current (EN) from the Quadflex range, and is designed for motorcycles, scooters, quads and personal watercraft. Measuring 160 × 90 × 161 mm, it is the direct replacement for motorcycles fitted from the factory with a 20 Ah battery of this format.

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

What the Motobatt YB16BA-YB16BA2 is for

The Motobatt YB16BA-YB16BA2 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. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 5.90 kg.

The Motobatt YB16BA-YB16BA2: Quadflex range and AGM technology

Within the Motobatt catalogue, the Quadflex series groups the references designed for this use. The YB16BA-YB16BA2 is the 20 Ah model of that family, with the same performance as its siblings in other sizes.

In an AGM battery the electrolyte is absorbed in glass-fibre separators: there is no free liquid, it cannot spill and it can be mounted at an angle. That construction lowers internal resistance, speeds up recharging and multiplies cycle life compared with a conventional battery.

Dimensions, polarity and mounting

In terms of format, the Motobatt YB16BA-YB16BA2 measures 160 × 90 × 161 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 5.90 kg. 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.

Motobatt: the maker behind the YB16BA-YB16BA2

Motobatt batteries stand out for capacity and cranking current above the original battery in the same tray, thanks to a compact AGM design and the four-terminal Quadflex system. All the Motobatt batteries in our catalogue are genuine product, recently manufactured and covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

How to make it last longer

If the bike spends the winter standing, connect a trickle charger: deep discharge through inactivity is the first cause of premature failure. 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.

Official warranty

The Motobatt YB16BA-YB16BA2 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.

Frequently asked questions

How should this motorcycle battery be charged?

With a 12 V motorcycle charger delivering at most 10 % of its capacity: 2 A for its 20 Ah. High-current car chargers can damage it. If the bike is laid up for the winter, keep it on a maintenance charger.

How long does the Motobatt YB16BA-YB16BA2 battery last?

Estimated lifespan of the Motobatt YB16BA-YB16BA2: 3 to 5 years, keeping it charged when the bike is not in use. Treat it as an approximate guide, as every case is different. It can vary considerably with usage (short or long journeys), temperature, the condition of the alternator and charging system, power drawn with the engine off and maintenance. Cold demands more at every start and intense heat evaporates the electrolyte.

What are the measurements of the YB16BA-YB16BA2 model?

Length × width × height: 160x90x161 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.

Is the YB16BA-YB16BA2 valid for my vehicle?
