- Construction built to withstand the vibration typical of two-wheelers.
- Direct replacement for the original motorbike, scooter or quad battery.
- High cranking peak in a compact, lightweight format.
- Performs well in the cold and after periods of inactivity.

### Vehicles that take the Varta YB14-A2 battery

According to our database, the Varta YB14-A2 is fitted to more than 16 vehicles from makes such as Honda, Bimota, Arctic Cat, Suzuki and Polaris, among others. It is a go-to choice when you need a **battery for a Honda**, a Bimota or other models that take this same format. Not sure whether it is the right one for your bike? Check in seconds by entering your **registration** in our finder.

### Format and fitting of the Varta YB14-A2

In terms of format, the Varta YB14-A2 measures 136 × 91 × 166 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 5,14 kg. The positive terminal on the left determines which side the cables end up on: it is the detail behind most mistaken purchases, so it is worth checking before ordering. Before replacing it, measure the space your current battery sits in: if it matches on all three dimensions and on the terminal layout, the swap is direct and needs no adapters.

### The Varta YB14-A2 and the Powersports SLI Freshpack range

The **Powersports SLI Freshpack** range brings together Varta's conventional motorcycle batteries, supplied dry with the acid packed separately (freshpack) so they are activated on installation, guaranteeing maximum freshness.
They deliver powerful starting and good vibration resistance for classic motorbikes, scooters and quads: the direct replacement for traditional lead-acid motorcycle batteries.
Unlike a car battery, what matters here is power density in a minimal size and resistance to vibration. It is the direct substitute for the original motorcycle battery, with the advantage of reliable starting even in the cold and after periods of inactivity.

### Why choose a Varta battery

Varta is an original equipment (OEM) supplier to a good share of Europe's car manufacturers: many cars leave the factory with a Varta fitted. Buying a replacement means, in most cases, refitting the original battery with the same quality and the brand's official warranty.
Varta batteries are made under the Clarios group with German technology and quality controls that make them one of the best-selling choices in Europe. As a lead battery, it is 100% recyclable through any collection point.
Varta is Europe's leading manufacturer of starter batteries: its production volume and its quality controls guarantee consistent reliability batch after batch, something own-brand makes cannot always promise.

### Manufacturer's warranty

The Varta YB14-A2 battery comes with the **official manufacturer warranty**.

### Care and maintenance

If the bike goes unused for long spells, a trickle charger greatly extends the battery's life and prevents sulphation. Storing it somewhere dry and checking the terminals at the start of each season helps it start first time. Motorcycle batteries suffer in the cold and when left idle: in winter, a maintenance charger stops the battery from discharging completely. With this care, it will typically deliver well over several years of service.

## Frequently asked questions

### How should this motorcycle battery be charged?

With a 12 V motorcycle charger delivering at most 10 % of its capacity: 1.4 A for its 14 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?

Yes: it is a conventional lead-acid battery. Check the electrolyte level from time to time and, if it drops, top up with distilled water to the mark.

### How long does the Varta YB14-A2 battery last?

As a rough estimate, the Varta YB14-A2 typically lasts 3 to 5 years, keeping it charged when the bike is not in use; it is a guide figure, not a guaranteed period. Many factors play a part: how it is used (lots of short trips, for example), temperature (cold makes every start harder and intense heat evaporates the electrolyte), the condition of the alternator and charging system, power drawn with the engine off and maintenance.

### What are the dimensions of the Varta YB14-A2 battery?

It measures 136×91×166 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 Varta YB14-A2 battery have?

Polarity of the Varta YB14-A2: positive on the left. If your current battery has its positive on the other side, this one is not suitable without longer cables or a reconfigured system (short-circuit risk). Seen from the front, terminals towards you, the positive (+) is the post with the red ring.

### Will the Varta YB14-A2 battery fit my motorcycle?

For your own vehicle: type your number plate into the finder (DGT/DVLA/KBA identify model and engine), check the "Compatible vehicles" tab below, listing vehicles verified by our technical team, or message us on WhatsApp with make, model, engine and year; we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:30–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). The YB14-A2 fits 18 verified vehicle versions in our database. In every case, the motorcycle manufacturer's specifications (owner's handbook) take precedence.

### Which batteries are equivalent to the Varta YB14-A2?

A direct equivalent needs what this YB14-A2 offers: 136×91×166 mm, positive on the left, the same Ah and CCA and conventional technology. The "Equivalents" section of this page gathers the recommended options with equivalent performance.

### Varta YB14-A2 or Varta YTX14AH-BS: which one to choose?

It is the sealed AGM of the same size: maintenance-free, it withstands vibration and winter lay-ups better than the YB14-A2. Compared with the YB14-A2 it has 2 Ah less and 20 A of cold cranking more. It costs 72,40 € less. Essential if your bike came with AGM; if it had a conventional battery, it is a durability and leak-safety upgrade, not an obligation.

### Varta YB14-A2 or Varta YB14-B2: which one to choose?

Sister reference of the YB14-A2, practically identical on paper. Compared with the YB14-A2 it has the same Ah and cranking power. It costs 4,90 € more. Choose by price and availability: in real use you will not notice a difference.
