Vibration-resistant, keeps voltage during the winter off-season and cranks first time when you take it out for a ride. ## Why this motorcycle battery? - **Same JIS reference** as your bike's original — fits first time - **Sealed and ready to use** no acid handling, no refills - **Survives winter storage** holds charge through long off-season 🔌 Voltage 12 V ⚡ Capacity 5 Ah C10 🔋 Cold cranking 85 A EN-1 📏 Dimensions 119×60×131 mm ⚙️ Technology GEL ⚖️ Weight 2,1 kg 🏷️ Model MOTOBATT SUPER GEL #️⃣ Mfr. reference MTX5AL ## Description ## Motorcycle battery Motobatt MTX5AL Super GEL 5Ah 85A 12V 12*V* Voltage 5*Ah* Capacity 85*A* Cold cranking 2.10*kg* Weight The **Motobatt MTX5AL** from the **Super GEL** range is a motorcycle battery with **5 Ah** and **85 A** of cold cranking current (EN), designed for motorcycles, scooters, quads and personal watercraft. It replaces the original battery without adaptation in motorcycles with a 119 × 60 × 131 mm format: same 5 Ah capacity. - 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. ### Size, terminals and hold-down of the Motobatt MTX5AL In terms of format, the Motobatt MTX5AL measures 119 × 60 × 131 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 2.10 kg. Checking the three dimensions and the terminal position before buying avoids the most common mistake when replacing a battery. ### What the Motobatt MTX5AL is for With 5 Ah, the Motobatt MTX5AL covers the starting of motorcycles, scooters, quads and personal watercraft. The JIS code on your current battery label is the safest way to confirm equivalence. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 2.10 kg. ### The Motobatt MTX5AL: Super GEL range and GEL technology Within the Motobatt catalogue, the **Super GEL** series groups the references designed for this use. The MTX5AL is the 5 Ah model of that family, with the same performance as its siblings in other sizes. 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. ### What Motobatt does differently Motobatt is the motorcycle battery specialist with Quadflex technology: four terminals that let you connect the battery in any position and a sealed AGM construction ready to fit. We guarantee that every Motobatt arrives new, charged and with the manufacturer's full warranty. ### Official warranty The Motobatt MTX5AL 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. ### 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. 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. ### When you get it and how to return it 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 ### Is this battery GEL? What is the typical use? Yes, this model is a GEL battery: sealed lead-acid where the electrolyte is in gel form. It tolerates deep discharges very well and is ideal for cyclic use (solar, motorhomes, electric wheelchairs, motorcycles). Requires a GEL-specific smart charger — max charge voltage ~14.1 V (vs 14.4-14.7 V for AGM). Lifespan 6-10 years. ### How is the Motobatt MTX5AL battery installed in the vehicle? 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 many years does this battery last? Expected lifespan of the Motobatt MTX5AL is 6 to 10 years in cyclic use (marine, caravan, solar) with controlled discharges. 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 measurements of the MTX5AL model? Dimensions (length × width × height) are 120×60×131 mm — also written as 120x60x131 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 Motobatt MTX5AL 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 MTX5AL typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format. ### Which interchangeable batteries are there for this one? 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. ## Reviews - **Average rating**: 4.75 / 5 (58 reviews) ## Technical team (editorial authorship) The FAQs, guides and comparisons on this site are reviewed by the baterias.com technical team — over 25 years of experience validating automotive batteries. → https://baterias.com/gb/technical-team --- *baterias.com — Automotive batteries · 2026-10-06*
