Measuring 151 × 87 × 105 mm, it is the direct replacement for motorcycles fitted from the factory with a 9 Ah battery of this format. - GEL: excellent resistance to deep discharge and long cycle life. - Sealed and ready to fit, no acid handling. - Holds its charge through winter storage. - Compact and lightweight format. ### What the Motobatt YTX9BS is for With 9 Ah, the Motobatt YTX9BS 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 3.18 kg. ### The Motobatt YTX9BS: Super GEL range and GEL technology The YTX9BS is part of the Motobatt **Super GEL** range. Choosing the right reference within the series comes down to capacity, dimensions and terminals: technology and quality are common to the whole family. 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. ### Dimensions, polarity and mounting In terms of format, the Motobatt YTX9BS measures 151 × 87 × 105 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 3.18 kg. Checking the three dimensions and the terminal position before buying avoids the most common mistake when replacing a battery. ### Motobatt: the maker behind the YTX9BS 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. Check the resting voltage before the season (above 12.6 V on a charged battery) and make sure the terminals are clean and tight. ### Official warranty The Motobatt YTX9BS 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. ### Shipping, delivery and returns 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. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is this battery GEL? What is the typical use? Yes, GEL technology (9 Ah): a sealed lead-acid battery whose electrolyte is in gel form. Its maximum charge voltage is lower than an AGM's, so a GEL-specific smart charger is needed. Deep discharges are its strong point, so it suits cyclic use: solar, motorhomes, electric wheelchairs or motorcycles. ### How should this motorcycle battery be charged? With a 12 V motorcycle charger delivering at most 10 % of its capacity: 0.9 A for its 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 Motobatt YTX9BS battery last? As a guide, you can expect the Motobatt YTX9BS 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. Actual lifespan varies with climate (cold starts, heat evaporating the electrolyte), with usage and short journeys, with the condition of the alternator and charging system, with power draw while parked and with maintenance. ### What are the dimensions of the Motobatt YTX9BS battery? Measure the battery tray before ordering: a one-millimetre difference is enough for the hold-down clamp not to close. It measures 151×87×105 mm in length × width × height, with the terminals included in the height. ### Is the YTX9BS valid for my vehicle? The quickest way is to enter your number plate in the finder: DGT/DVLA/KBA detect model and engine. You can also look at the "Compatible vehicles" tab, verified by our technical team, or send us make, model, engine and year on WhatsApp; we answer during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:30–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). In every case, the motorcycle manufacturer's specifications (owner's handbook) take precedence. ### Which batteries are equivalent to the Motobatt YTX9BS? The "Equivalents" section of this page gathers the recommended options with equivalent performance. A battery interchangeable with the Motobatt YTX9BS must match it on dimensions (151×87×105 mm), polarity, capacity (9 Ah) and cranking current (140 A). ### Motobatt MTX9A or Fulbat FTX9-BS GEL: which one to choose? It has the same dimensions, voltage and technology as the MTX9A, although it is not a manufacturer-approved equivalent. Compared with the MTX9A it has 1 Ah less and 5 A of cold cranking less. It costs 106,83 € less. Check the positive terminal side and the original capacity before ordering; otherwise it is a straight swap. ### Motobatt MTX9A or Fulbat FT12A-BS GEL: which one to choose? It has the same dimensions, voltage and technology as the MTX9A, although it is not a manufacturer-approved equivalent. Compared with the MTX9A it has 1 Ah more and 35 A of cold cranking more. It costs 96,21 € less. Check the positive terminal side and the original capacity before ordering; otherwise it is a straight swap. ## Technical team (editorial authorship) The FAQs, guides and comparisons on this site are reviewed by the baterias.com technical team — automotive battery specialists since 2012. → https://baterias.com/gb/technical-team --- *baterias.com — Automotive batteries · 2026-11-10*
