• High cranking peak in a compact, lightweight format.
• 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.

Applications of the Varta YTZ10S battery

Designed for motorcycles, scooters, quads and personal watercraft, the Varta YTZ10S is a direct replacement when you need its same 9 Ah capacity and format. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a B00 hold-down.

Format and fitting of the Varta YTZ10S

In format, the Varta YTZ10S measures 150 × 87 × 93 mm (length × width × height). The positive terminal on the left determines which side the cables run to: it is the detail that causes the most buying mistakes, so it is worth checking before ordering. It uses a B00 hold-down, the system that secures it to the vehicle's battery tray. For the swap to be direct, the space your current battery occupies must respect those three dimensions and the same terminal layout; otherwise adapters will be needed or the hold-down will have to change.

The Varta YTZ10S and the Powersports AGM Active range

The Powersports AGM Active series is Varta's AGM motorcycle line that arrives activated and charged from the factory: it fits straight on, with no acid to add and no charging before use. It combines the ruggedness of AGM (resistance to vibration and to deep discharge) with the greatest possible ease of installation.

In the new portfolio it also absorbs the former high-performance versions (AGM High Performance), so it covers everything from general use to large-capacity, custom and trail bikes with heavy cranking demands.

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. This battery used to belong to Varta's Powersports AGM High Performance range; following the brand's change of commercial naming (2025), it now forms part of the new Powersports AGM Active series.

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 car groups for decades. Replacing with a Varta is, in practice, giving the vehicle back the battery its manufacturer intended.

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 YTZ10S 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.
