Exide Li-Ion (LiFePO4) lithium motorcycle batteries: the lightest, most powerful way to start your bike. They weigh far less than an equivalent lead-acid battery, deliver more cranking current, barely self-discharge and include a BMS that protects against overcharge and deep discharge.
Pick yours by the code of your current battery: every Exide ELT model directly replaces the lead-acid YTX, YTZ and YT references (ELTX9 = YTX9-BS, ELTZ7S = YTZ7S, ELTX14H = YTX14-BS…), same size and polarity. Express delivery and official warranty.

Can my bike run lithium?
Check your motorcycle manufacturer's recommendations. As a rule, any 12 V petrol bike with a charging regulator in good condition (13.8–14.6 V) will usually accept lithium; choose the Exide ELT model matching your YTX/YTZ code.
See all motorcycle batteriesWhat is my equivalent?
ELTX9 = YTX9-BS, ELTZ7S = YTZ7S, ELTX14H = YTX14-BS, ELTX20H = YTX20-BS… check the label code or find your bike.

One with a lithium mode, or a lead-acid charger without desulphation or equalisation. Never exceed 14.6 V.

A LiFePO4 lithium motorcycle battery is not just "lighter": it changes service life, self-discharge and starting behaviour. Indicative comparison:
| LiFePO4 lithium (Exide Li-Ion) | AGM | Conventional lead-acid | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weight | A third to a half | Reference | Similar to AGM |
| Life cycles | Over 2,000 | 300–500 | 200–300 |
| Monthly self-discharge | 2–3% | 3–5% | 5–10% |
| Cold cranking | Very high (wake up for a few seconds below 0 °C) | Good | Average |
| Maintenance | None, built-in BMS | None | Check acid level |
| Mounting position | Any | Any | Upright only |
| Price | Higher | Medium | Low |
Exide Technologies is one of the world's leading battery manufacturers, with over a century of history and factories across Europe, and owns the Tudor brand, the historic reference in Spain. Its Li-Ion motorcycle range applies that experience to LiFePO4 cells: built-in BMS, the same dimensions as the lead-acid batteries they replace and an official manufacturer warranty.
Find the code of your current battery (YTX, YTZ or YT) on its label and pick the Exide model that replaces it. Same size and polarity; factory data.

The natural choice for sport, naked, adventure, custom and race bikes, where every kilo counts and instant starting is expected; also for scooters and maxi-scooters that sit for weeks, thanks to minimal self-discharge. Before switching, check your motorcycle manufacturer's recommendations. As a rule, any 12 V petrol motorcycle with a charging regulator in good condition (13.8–14.6 V) will usually accept a lithium battery. Most searched brands:
