Installation and maintenance tips
Couriers on scooters start and stop all day long. Photograph the cable routing before removing the old battery, especially where leads run under the frame. A swollen case or a smell of acid means the battery should be recycled.
About the technology: AGM
Open up an AGM battery in your imagination and you would find the acid soaked into thin glass-fibre sheets squeezed against each plate. Premium cars with lots of electronics usually come with AGM from new. Never try to open an AGM battery to add water.
Check before ordering
- ✓ Capacity is 18Ah. Aim for the same figure as your old battery or slightly above, never much lower.
- ✓ For winter starts, 270A should at least match the old battery.
- ✓ Terminal check: Y4. Spade widths and post diameters vary, so match the type exactly.
Your questions answered
Will both the size and terminals match?
Measure your current battery and note its terminal position. This one is 175 × 87 × 154 mm, positive on the right-hand side.
Should I charge a stored battery before use?
Yes, but all batteries self-discharge slowly. Check the voltage every few months and recharge if needed.
Alternatives that fit the same space
If you prefer another make, these fit the same space with the same terminal side.
