Where it fits: the Odyssey ODS-AGM42L is one of our motorcycle batteries, belongs to our Odyssey batteries and by capacity it sits among our 42Ah batteries.

Motorcycle battery Odyssey ODS-AGM42L ODS 42Ah 540A
With 42 Ah at V and 540 A of cold cranking current (EN), the Odyssey ODS-AGM42L with AGM technology replaces the original battery of motorcycles, scooters, quads and personal watercraft. Measuring 198 × 165 × 163 mm and the positive terminal on the right, it is the direct replacement for motorcycles fitted from the factory with a 42 Ah battery of this format.
- AGM: faster recharging and better cycle resistance than a conventional battery.
- Sealed and ready to fit, no acid handling.
- Holds its charge through winter storage.
- Compact and lightweight format.
What the Odyssey ODS-AGM42L is for
With 42 Ah, the Odyssey ODS-AGM42L 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 17.30 kg and M6 Receptacle terminals.
Will it fit your current battery tray?
It has external dimensions of 198 × 165 × 163 mm and weighs 17.30 kg. The positive terminal on the right decides which side the cables end up on: it is the detail that causes most buying mistakes, so check it before ordering. It uses M6 Receptacle terminals, the system that anchors and connects it in the vehicle. For a direct replacement, the current battery tray must accept these dimensions and the same terminal layout; otherwise adapters will be needed or the hold-down will change.
Why choose Odyssey batteries
Odyssey, part of the EnerSys group, makes thin-plate pure-lead (TPPL) batteries: extreme cranking, total vibration resistance and very long service life in motorsport, 4x4, marine and demanding vehicles. At baterias.com we work directly with the manufacturer or its official distributor: real stock, brand-new product and official warranty.
The Odyssey ODS-AGM42L: ODS range and AGM technology
The ODS-AGM42L is part of the Odyssey ODS range. Choosing the right reference within the series comes down to capacity, dimensions and terminals: technology and quality are common to the whole family.
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.
Usage and maintenance tips
Charge with a charger that has an AGM mode: it limits the voltage and protects the glass-fibre separators. 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 Odyssey ODS-AGM42L 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.
Delivery times and returns
Orders placed before 6:00 pm with the battery in stock ship the same day. Delivery in mainland Spain and Portugal takes 24-48 working hours; for the Balearic Islands and the rest of the European Union allow 3 to 5 working days. You have 14 days to return an unused battery; in mainland Spain and Portugal collection is free. We email you the tracking number as soon as the parcel ships.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Odyssey ODS-AGM42L an AGM battery and what are the benefits of AGM?
Yes. The Odyssey ODS-AGM42L is AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat): sealed lead-acid, with the electrolyte absorbed in glass fibre. It withstands more cycles than a conventional battery and copes better with heat.
How should this motorcycle battery be charged?
With a 12 V motorcycle charger delivering at most 10 % of its capacity: 4.2 A for its 42 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 AGM, it is sealed and nothing needs topping up. Just keep it charged if the bike stands for a long time.
How long does the Odyssey ODS-AGM42L battery last?
As a rough estimate, the Odyssey ODS-AGM42L typically lasts 4 to 6 years, keeping it charged when the bike is not in use; it is a guide figure, not a guaranteed period. 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 dimensions of the Odyssey ODS-AGM42L battery?
It measures 198×165×163 mm in length × width × height, with the terminals included in the height. Measure the battery tray before ordering: a one-millimetre difference is enough for the hold-down clamp not to close.
What polarity does the Odyssey ODS-AGM42L battery have?
Polarity of the Odyssey ODS-AGM42L: positive on the right. Seen from the front, terminals towards you, the positive (+) is the post with the red ring. A change of polarity from the original means longer cables or a reconfigured system and can cause a short circuit: check it before ordering.
Is the ODS-AGM42L valid for my vehicle?
Not sure? Try your number plate in the finder (DGT/DVLA/KBA detect model and engine) or the "Compatible vehicles" tab, checked by our technical team; if your motorcycle is not there, send us make, model, engine and year on WhatsApp and we will reply 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 interchangeable batteries are there for this one?
Interchangeable means the same dimensions, same polarity, same Ah and same CCA; for the ODS-AGM42L, 42 Ah (540 A cranking). The "Equivalents" section further down lists the recommended alternatives.
