Varta YB30L-B Powersports SLI Freshpack 30Ah 300A 12V Motorcycle Battery

Its 168 × 132 × 176 mm dimensions and positive terminal on the right make it the exact replacement for the 30 Ah battery fitted as standard in many motorcycles.
- Performs well in the cold and after periods of inactivity.
- High cranking peak in a compact, lightweight format.
- Direct replacement for the original motorbike, scooter or quad battery.
- Construction built to withstand the vibration typical of two-wheelers.

Format and fitting of the Varta YB30L-B
The Varta YB30L-B is made in the 168 × 132 × 176 mm format and weighs 9,78 kg. The positive terminal on the right determines which side the cables end up on: it is the detail that causes the most purchasing mistakes, so it is worth checking before ordering. Checking the three dimensions and the terminal positions before buying avoids the most common mistake when replacing a battery.
The Varta YB30L-B 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.
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
Choosing Varta means sticking with the very reference the vehicle manufacturer approved in the first place. Against own-brand labels, the difference lies not in the purchase price but in how many winters the battery lasts before leaving you stranded.
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 quality controls guarantee consistent reliability batch after batch, something own-brand labels cannot always assure.
Manufacturer's warranty
The Varta YB30L-B 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: 3 A for its 30 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.
What is the service life of the YB30L-B model?
Estimated lifespan of the Varta YB30L-B: 3 to 5 years, keeping it charged when the bike is not in use. Treat it as an approximate guide, as every case is different. What weighs most: temperature (cold makes starts harder and intense heat evaporates the electrolyte), frequent short trips, the condition of the alternator and charging system, power draw while parked and maintenance.
What size is this battery?
Length × width × height: 165x132x176 mm. Height is measured to the top of the terminals. Measure your motorcycle's battery tray first; if the battery exceeds it by even a millimetre, the hold-down clamp may not close.
On which side is the positive of the YB30L-B model?
The YB30L-B has the positive on the right: that is its polarity. 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). Face the battery with its terminals nearest you and see which side the positive post (+, red ring) is on.
Is the YB30L-B valid for my vehicle?
The YB30L-B fits 12 verified vehicle versions in our database. Three routes: the "Compatible vehicles" tab on this page, with the vehicles verified by our technical team; your number plate in the finder, from which DGT/DVLA/KBA detect model and engine; and WhatsApp, with make, model, engine and year, during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:30–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). If our table and the motorcycle handbook disagree, go with what the manufacturer says.
Which interchangeable batteries are there for this one?
The "Equivalents" section of this page gathers the recommended options with equivalent performance. Interchangeable means the same dimensions, same polarity, same Ah and same CCA; for the YB30L-B, 30 Ah (300 A cranking).
Varta YB30L-B or Varta YTX30L-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 YB30L-B. Compared with the YB30L-B it has 150 A of cold cranking more. It costs 25,70 € 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 YB30L-B or Exide AGM12-31: 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 YB30L-B. Compared with the YB30L-B it has 130 A of cold cranking more.
