You are one step away from the exact battery for your KTM 80 80 RL: (8 CV). Enter the registration year so we filter correctly among the variants KTM may have used across production years of this engine.
Last step: enter the registration year
With the year we filter between AGM Start-Stop, EFB and conventional — the manufacturer may have changed the battery spec mid-production of your KTM 80.
Why the year matters for the battery of your KTM 80
- Manufacturers change battery spec mid-production of a model.
- An identical engine can fit AGM Start-Stop in one version and conventional in an earlier one.
- Amp-hours (Ah) and cold-cranking amps (CCA) also vary between years of manufacture.
- Fitting the wrong battery can cause electronic faults, dashboard warnings and abnormal alternator load — on cars with BMS, registering it via OBD after the swap is required.
Enter the year and you will see the manufacturer-recommended battery alongside compatible alternatives from market-leading brands (Varta, Tudor y Exide). Express 24h delivery.

Frequently asked questions
- The KTM 80 80 RL may use different batteries depending on engine and equipment. We found 1 compatible batteries. Check dimensions and positive terminal position before purchasing.
- Yes, you can install a higher capacity (Ah) battery as long as the physical dimensions fit your KTM 80 80 RL battery compartment and the positive terminal position matches.
- A conventional battery in the KTM 80 80 RL lasts between 4 and 6 years under normal conditions. Factors that reduce lifespan: frequent short trips, extreme temperatures, many electrical consumers, and leaving the vehicle parked for long periods.
- Motorcycles can use GEL, AGM, or conventional batteries. GEL batteries are ideal for occasional use. AGM batteries are the best option for heavy use or high-power motorcycles. Always check the polarity before installation.
- Polarity indicates which side has the positive (+) terminal. This is critical for motorcycles because some models have the positive terminal on the left and others on the right. Check the label on your current battery or the manufacturer's manual.
- Yes. First disconnect the negative (−) wire and then the positive (+) wire. When installing the new one, connect the positive (+) wire first and then the negative (−) wire. Always respect the correct polarity.
- Use the search tool by selecting your vehicle's make and model. Our system automatically filters compatible part numbers verified by our technicians. If you have any questions, contact us via WhatsApp.
- As they are consumable items, car batteries have a 2-year warranty, truck batteries a 1-year warranty, and all others (motorcycle batteries, cyclic batteries, etc.) a 6-month warranty. If a battery has a manufacturing defect, it will be replaced at no cost to the user.
- Batteries compatible with the KTM 80 80 RL have the following dimensions: 136 × 76 × 139 mm (length × width × height) Before buying, check the battery compartment size of your vehicle: a larger case will not fit even if the reference is technically compatible.
Guías
-
Guide to safely replace the battery of the KTM 80 80 RL. Estimated time: 10-20 minutes. Tools: 8-10 mm wrenches, 4-6 mm Allen keys or Torx depending on the model. Many bikes require removing the seat or a side panel to reach the battery. Check the manual for fully faired models or those with reverse polarity.
-
Prepare the motorcycle Put the bike on the centre stand — or, failing that, the side stand — on flat, firm ground. Switch off the ignition, remove the key and wait a few minutes for the engine to cool.
-
Locate the battery On most motorcycles the battery sits under the seat, behind a side panel or near the fuel tank. On cruisers and adventure bikes it may be under the tank or in a frame compartment. Check the owner's manual if you can't find it.
-
Remove the seat or access panel Release the seat (usually unlocked with the ignition key) or undo the side-panel screws (4-6 mm Allen keys or Torx are common). Keep the fasteners in order so you don't lose any.
-
Identify polarity and hold-down Find the positive terminal («+», red cable) and the negative («−», black cable). Warning: some motorcycles — especially classic Japanese models — use reverse polarity; always confirm the exact orientation before removing the battery. Check whether it is held by a strap, clamp or plate.
-
Disconnect the negative terminal first Using an 8-10 mm wrench, loosen and disconnect the negative terminal. Move it far enough from the chassis and secure it so it can't touch accidentally while you work.
-
Disconnect the positive terminal Remove the positive protective cap if present and disconnect that terminal. Move the cable aside carefully and shield the area to avoid short circuits.
-
Remove the old battery Undo the strap or hold-down. Lift the battery out keeping it upright; it weighs 2-8 kg depending on type. If it is an old flooded battery, be extra careful not to spill acid.
-
Install the new battery and connect the terminals Fit the new battery matching the original polarity. If it is an AGM delivered dry, follow the manufacturer's instructions to activate it with electrolyte before installing. Connect positive first, then negative, and tighten gently — don't overtorque, the screws can break.
-
Refit panels and verify Reattach the panel and seat. Without holding the starter button for more than 5 seconds at a time, start the bike and check lights, indicators, horn and instrument cluster. Reset the clock and any lost settings.

Knowing your battery polarity (positive on the right or on the left) is the most important step before buying a replacement: connecting it the wrong way can damage the electronics. Estimated time: 2 minutes. Tools: eyes only — no tools required.
-
Locate the battery Open the bonnet of the KTM 80 80 RL and find the battery. It is usually a rectangular block with two metal terminals (large screw heads) on top — one red or "+" and one black or "−".
-
Identify the positive terminal The positive terminal (+) typically has a red cap, red sticker or cover, a raised "+" symbol on the casing, and/or a slightly larger diameter (19 mm vs 17 mm of the negative, in standard European batteries).
-
Face the battery Look at the battery from the label side with the terminals near you — the edge with the terminals should face you, not the back.
-
Determine polarity If the positive pole is on the RIGHT → choose a battery marked as "positive right". If it is on the LEFT → choose one marked as "positive left". (If the label of your current or new battery shows codes like 0, 1, 3 or 4: 0 and 4 are positive right; 1 and 3, positive left — 3 and 4 correspond to batteries with terminals on the narrow side.)
-
Note the reference The label on top shows the reference (e.g. "A9", "TK960", "EA900"). Search for the exact model with that reference and the identified polarity — never change polarity without consulting the vehicle manufacturer.
