Exide 12N5-3B: what it is and who it suits
Made for motorcycles and quads, the Exide 12N5-3B fits a small box with very little spare room. Some arrive sealed and ready, others need filling before use. Picking by exact code avoids a seat that will not close.
Compact by the standards of motorcycles and quads, with 5Ah.

Installation and maintenance tips
Jet skis spend most of the year parked, which is hard on a small battery. Route the vent hose, if there is one, well away from the chain and exhaust. Topping up a sealed battery is a mistake: the caps are fitted for good.
The lead-acid technology explained
Each cell in a flooded battery produces about two volts. Conventional batteries deliver high current at a modest price. Store flooded batteries charged and recharge every few months.
Will the Exide 12N5-3B fit?
- ✓ A case of 120 × 60 × 130 mm must sit flat with the clamp closed.
- ✓ Note which corner the plus post occupies on your old unit. Here it is positive on the right-hand side, and crossed cables rarely reach.
- ✓ Stored energy reserve: 5Ah. Going much lower than your current battery can leave you short on cold mornings or long stops.
