Getting the best from the Varta YTX16-BS
A scooter parked outside a flat all winter rarely starts first time in March. Photograph the cable routing before removing the old battery, especially where leads run under the frame. Topping up a sealed battery is a mistake: the caps are fitted for good.
About the technology: AGM
Picture a sponge holding the acid: that is roughly how an AGM cell works. Glass-mat batteries shrug off vibration, which is why bikes and boats use them so often. Recharge an AGM battery promptly after deep use.
Will the Varta YTX16-BS fit?
- ✓ This reference uses AGM. If your current battery has a different technology printed on it, find out why before switching.
- ✓ Grab a tape measure: 150 × 87 × 161 mm is what this case needs.
- ✓ 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.
