Varta YTX14-BS in everyday use

Classic bikes with kick-start still rely on the battery for lights and ignition. Test the lights and horn before refitting the seat. A starter that clicks but will not turn is the usual sign of a flat or worn battery.

How AGM batteries work and how to look after them

Open up an AGM battery in your imagination and you would find the acid soaked into thin glass-fibre sheets squeezed against each plate. Glass-mat batteries shrug off vibration, which is why bikes and boats use them so often. If the original was AGM, the replacement should be AGM too.

Before you order: a quick checklist

• ✓ Will it fit? The Varta YTX14-BS measures 152 × 88 × 147 mm, so compare length first, then width, then height with the lid or bonnet closed.
• ✓ Note which corner the plus post occupies on your old unit. Here it is positive on the left-hand side, and crossed cables rarely reach.
• ✓ 12Ah sets how long the battery can power things with the engine off.
