What battery does the KTM EXC EXC 500 use?

KTM EXC EXC 500 (19 hp, petrol, from 2011) takes a 5 Ah, 80 A AGM battery (113 × 70 × 105 mm), with the positive terminal on the right. We found 6 compatible batteries priced between 22,20€ — 43,95€. Check dimensions and positive terminal position before purchasing.

Can I install a higher capacity battery in my KTM EXC EXC 500?

Yes, you can install a higher capacity (Ah) battery as long as the physical dimensions fit your KTM EXC EXC 500 battery compartment and the positive terminal position matches.

Does my KTM EXC EXC 500 need a Start-Stop battery?

Yes, we detected Start-Stop compatible batteries for your KTM EXC EXC 500. If your vehicle has Start-Stop, it needs an AGM or EFB battery. An AGM must always be replaced with AGM. An EFB can be replaced with EFB or AGM. Never install a conventional battery in a Start-Stop vehicle.

What type of battery does my motorcycle need?

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.

How do I know the polarity of my motorcycle battery?

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.

Can I install my motorcycle battery myself?

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.

How do I find the right battery for my vehicle?

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.

What warranty do the batteries have?

📋 What we found

For your KTM EXC EXC 500 we found 6 compatible Start-Stop batteries.

📏 Battery size

The list contains batteries in different sizes or capacities (Ah). In many cases both variants fit, but it's worth checking your compartment dimensions and the Ah of your original battery before buying. Choose the one with the same dimensions as your current battery: a bigger one may not fit the compartment or the hold-down. If several match your size, the higher capacity gives more headroom for cold starts.

⚡ Battery type for your vehicle

✓ Your KTM EXC EXC 500 uses the Start-Stop system. Every battery shown is compatible — no conventional options to confuse you.

🔋 Technology (AGM / EFB)

✓ All Start-Stop batteries in the list are AGM — the most advanced technology. Perfect if your current battery was AGM or EFB: AGM always replaces both. Remember to register it via OBD if your car has a BMS (BMW, Audi, VAG, Mercedes…) so the alternator charges it correctly.

Before you buy: check the JIS code on your battery

On motorcycles, the definitive identifier is the JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) code printed on the original battery — for example YT12B-BS, YTX9-BS or YB12AL-A2. It identifies the model 100%: dimensions, capacity, polarity and terminal type.

Make sure the JIS code of the battery you are buying matches the one on your current battery
How to find the JIS code on your battery: it is printed on the manufacturer's label, usually on the top or front face of the battery, next to the voltage and capacity. It typically starts with Y (Yuasa) followed by letters and numbers: YT, YTX, YTZ, YB, YT-BS, etc. Some brands use parallel equivalents (FT, GT, BT, EB) — all follow the JIS standard. If the code of the battery you are buying matches yours (same letters and numbers before the «-BS» / «-A2»), it is the correct battery. If it differs even by a single digit, the dimensions or capacity do not match and it will NOT fit.

If you have any questions, just ask us and we'll be glad to advise you with no obligation.
