  • Performs well in the cold and after periods of inactivity.
  • Construction built to withstand the vibration typical of two-wheelers.
  • Direct replacement for the original motorbike, scooter or quad battery.

Format and fitting of the Varta YB3L-A

The Varta YB3L-A is made in the 100 × 58 × 112 mm format and weighs 1.46 kg. The positive terminal on the right determines which side the cables sit on: it is the detail that causes the most buying mistakes, so it is worth checking before you order. Before replacing it, measure the space your current battery occupies: if it matches on all three dimensions and on terminal position, the swap is direct and needs no adapters.

The Varta YB3L-A and the Powersports SLI Freshpack range

The Powersports SLI Freshpack is Varta's classic starter line for two-wheelers, with lead-acid technology and dry delivery with the acid packed separately to guarantee freshness until activation at the workshop.

It covers the bulk of motorbikes, scooters and quads fitted with a conventional battery: punchy starting, resistance to the vibrations of sporty riding and direct replacement of the original battery.

On two wheels, vibration and extreme temperatures take a heavy toll on the battery. This range reinforces the internal plate mounting and seals the unit to withstand that use, delivering the instant burst of cranking power a motorbike or quad engine needs after weeks standing idle.

Why choose a Varta battery

A good share of the vehicles on Europe's roads left the factory with a Varta fitted: the brand has been supplying the assembly lines of the leading automotive groups for decades. Replacing with a Varta means, in practice, giving the vehicle back the battery its manufacturer intended.

Varta combines more than a century of experience with the industrial production of Clarios: it is the battery many manufacturers fit as standard and one of the most recommended by workshops. Like every lead-acid battery, it is 100% recyclable.

Varta's production combines automated lines with verification of more than 100 parameters per unit; that traceability is what underpins its reputation for reliable starting throughout the battery's life.

Manufacturer's warranty

The Varta YB3L-A battery comes with a 6-month official warranty from the manufacturer.

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.

How to change the battery

Guide to replace your motorcycle battery in 10-15 minutes. Motorcycle batteries are light (2-5 kg) and usually need an 8 mm wrench.

⏱ 10-15 min🛠 Tools: 8 mm wrench (some bikes use 10 mm) · Protective gloves
  1. Step 1. Prepare the vehicle

    Park on a flat surface, switch off the engine and remove the key. Make sure all lights and electrical accessories are off. Wait 1-2 minutes before starting.

  2. Step 2. Locate the battery compartment

    On motorcycles it is usually under the seat, in the rear cowl or behind a side panel. Check the manual — access varies a lot between models.

  3. Step 3. Disconnect the negative (−) terminal

    Use the 10 mm wrench to loosen the negative cable nut (black, marked −) and remove the cable from the post. Move it aside so it cannot touch any bodywork.

  4. Step 4. Disconnect the positive (+) terminal

    Repeat with the positive cable (red, marked +). Important: never let a terminal touch metal of the car while the other is still connected.

  5. Step 5. Remove the old battery

    Loosen the hold-down clamp or the straps that secure it. Lift the battery carefully — typical weight 2-5 kg. Check the terminals are not corroded before fitting the new one.

  6. Step 6. Install the new battery

    Place the battery in the same orientation as the old one (positive terminal on the same side). Tighten the hold-down clamp firmly.

  7. Step 7. Connect the cables

    Connect the positive (+) terminal first, then the negative (−). Tighten the nuts with the wrench until each terminal does not move. Apply anti-spark grease if you have any.

  8. Step 8. Verify the engine starts

    Close the bonnet. Start the engine to confirm everything works. On cars with Start-Stop or a BMS, you may need to register the battery via OBD so the alternator applies the correct charging profile.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if the YB3L-A model fits my motorcycle?

Three ways: 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 for the YB3L-A; 3) if you cannot find your model, message us on WhatsApp with brand, model, engine and year — we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 9:00–18:00 CET).

How is the Varta YB3L-A 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.

What warranty does the Varta YB3L-A motorcycle battery have?

The official manufacturer warranty for this bike battery is 6 months and covers manufacturing defects. The shorter warranty is standard on motorcycle, jet and quad batteries due to the use pattern (long idle periods that accelerate natural sulfation). If the motorcycle will be parked for over 2 weeks, hook it up to a maintenance charger; it is the simplest way to prolong the battery's lifespan.

When will I receive the YB3L-A model?

In mainland Spain and Portugal it arrives in 24 h if you order before 17:00 and the battery is in stock — it leaves the same day and arrives the next business day. Afternoon or weekend orders ship the next business day. For Balearics, Canaries and other EU destinations, allow 2-5 days. Shipping cost is calculated in the cart based on destination and service (standard, express, cash on delivery). Tracking number is sent by email + SMS as soon as the parcel ships.

How do I return the YB3L-A model if it doesn't fit?

Yes. You have 14 days from delivery to return it. In mainland Spain and Portugal returns are FREE — we cover the return shipping cost via prepaid label. In other EU countries the return shipping cost is the customer's. It must arrive in its original packaging with no signs of installation. If it was defective, the warranty covers replacement even after the 14-day period.

What is the price of the YB3L-A model?

The current price at baterias.com is €101.71 (VAT included; €84.06 excl. VAT), updated every 24 hours. The applicable VAT may vary with the destination country and is confirmed in the cart. Shipping cost is calculated in the cart based on destination and chosen service (standard, express, cash on delivery).

Where can I buy the Varta YB3L-A battery?

At baterias.com — authorised distributor with real stock, 24h delivery in mainland Spain and Portugal if you order before 17:00, and full manufacturer warranty. Shipping cost is calculated in the cart based on destination and chosen service (standard, express, cash on delivery). Secure payment by card, Bizum, PayPal or bank transfer. If you choose at-home installation, our technician will take the used battery and dispose of it through an authorised collection point.

What is the service life of the YB3L-A model?

Expected lifespan of the Varta YB3L-A is 4 to 6 years in regular motorcycle use without 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 Varta YB3L-A battery?

Dimensions (length × width × height) are 100×58×112 mm — also written as 100x58x112 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 is the weight of the YB3L-A model?

It weighs 1,3 kg. Most of the weight is lead. If you plan to fit it yourself, use gloves and a carrying strap (AGM batteries are slightly heavier than conventional due to the absorbent glass-mat fibre).

What is the capacity and CCA of the YB3L-A model?

Nominal capacity 3 Ah[?cca: and [cold-cranking amps 30 A]] at 12 V. Ah measure the total energy available (autonomy); CCA (also written A in cold or EN under the European standard) measure the instantaneous power to crank the starter motor. A battery with more CCA starts better in winter; one with more Ah keeps accessories on for longer.

Is the YB3L-A 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 9:00–18:00 CET). The YB3L-A fits 12 verified vehicle versions in our database.

Which batteries are equivalent to the Varta YB3L-A?

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.

Which is better: Varta YB3L-A or an alternative from another brand?

This battery and its equivalents from Bosch, Tudor or Exide are technically comparable: same dimensions, same voltage and same capacity. The differences are warranty (Varta and Bosch: 2 years; Tudor and Exide: 2 years on the equivalent line), manufacturing plant (Varta and Bosch share origin in the Clarios Group; Tudor and Exide belong to Exide Technologies) and price. For private use any of these brands will give 4-6 years of life. Compare them in the "Equivalents" section.
