Odyssey ODS-AGM42L 42Ah 540A is a motorcycle starter battery with standard JIS code (the one on your bike's original label). Ready to use, sealed and vibration-resistant. Fits any model that takes the same JIS reference — the code your mechanic recognises at a glance.
Why this motorcycle battery?
- Same JIS referenceas your bike's original — fits first time
- Sealed and ready to useno acid handling, no refills
- Survives winter storageholds charge through long off-season

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 ODS-AGM42L from Odyssey uses AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology: a sealed lead-acid battery where the electrolyte is absorbed in a glass-fibre mat. It withstands more charge/discharge cycles than a conventional one, handles heat better and is the required technology for motorcycles with advanced Start-Stop and regenerative braking. Expected lifespan: 5-8 years under normal conditions.
How is the Odyssey ODS-AGM42L 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 our blog. 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 — with positive on the right 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 long does the Odyssey ODS-AGM42L battery last?
Expected lifespan of the Odyssey ODS-AGM42L is 5 to 8 years in mild-climate motorcycle use with Start-Stop. 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 dimensions of the Odyssey ODS-AGM42L battery?
Dimensions (length × width × height) are 198×165×163 mm — also written as 198x165x163 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.
What polarity does the Odyssey ODS-AGM42L battery have?
Polarity: positive on the right. To identify it, place the battery in front of you with the terminals facing you and check which side the positive (+, marked with a red ring) is on. Before buying, verify the polarity matches your current battery: switching polarity forces longer cables or system reconfiguration, with short-circuit risk.
Is the ODS-AGM42L valid for my vehicle?
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 ODS-AGM42L 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.
