The Motobatt MB18U in practice
MB18U vs Motobatt MB16U
The Motobatt MB18U offers 22 Ah and 280 A cold cranking in a 180 × 90 × 162 mm case. The Motobatt MB16U, same brand and technology, stays at 20 Ah and 240 A with 20 mm less length and costs €181.50 less. Coming from the smaller reference, this is a straight upgrade: same case, more reserve, same fitting.
Motorcycle battery Motobatt MB18U Quadflex 22.5Ah 280A 12V
The Motobatt MB18U motorcycle battery is rated at 12 V, 22.5 Ah and 280 A of cold cranking current (EN) from the Quadflex range, and is designed for motorcycles, scooters, quads and personal watercraft. It measures 180 × 90 × 162 mm, the format sought by anyone replacing a 22.5 Ah battery in motorcycles.
- Same JIS code as the original battery: fits first time.
- AGM technology: absorbed electrolyte, no spills, can be mounted at an angle.
- Energetic cranking for high-compression engines.
- Resistant to the vibration typical of two wheels.
What the Motobatt MB18U is for
The Motobatt MB18U 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 6.80 kg.
The Motobatt MB18U: Quadflex range and AGM technology
Within the Motobatt catalogue, the Quadflex series groups the references designed for this use. The MB18U is the 22.5 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.
Will it fit your current battery tray?
It has external dimensions of 180 × 90 × 162 mm and weighs 6.80 kg. Checking the three dimensions and the terminal position before buying avoids the most common mistake when replacing a battery.
What Motobatt does differently
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. We guarantee that every Motobatt arrives new, charged and with the manufacturer's full 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. Charge with a charger that has an AGM mode: it limits the voltage and protects the glass-fibre separators.
Warranty and coverage
The Motobatt MB18U 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: 2.3 A for its 22.5 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 MB18U battery last?
As a guide, you can expect the Motobatt MB18U to last 3 to 5 years, keeping it charged when the bike is not in use, although the real figure may be higher or lower. What weighs most: temperature (cold makes starts harder and intense heat evaporates the electrolyte), frequent short trips, the condition of the alternator and charging system, power draw while parked and maintenance.
What are the dimensions of the Motobatt MB18U battery?
Its dimensions are 180×90×162 mm, also written 180x90x162 mm; the height already includes the terminals. Check the room available in your motorcycle, because a single millimetre too much can stop the clamp from closing.
Is the MB18U valid for my vehicle?
Three routes: the "Compatible vehicles" tab on this page, with the vehicles verified by our technical team; your number plate in the finder, from which DGT/DVLA/KBA detect model and engine; and WhatsApp, with make, model, engine and year, during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:30–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). Always cross-check with what the motorcycle manufacturer states in the owner's handbook. The MB18U typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format.
