FAQ

What does AGM mean and why is it beneficial?

AGM stands for Absorbed Glass Mat. The electrolyte is held in glass‑fiber mats, making the battery spill‑proof, vibration‑resistant, and able to deliver high current quickly, which is ideal for motorcycles.

Can I install this battery myself?

Yes. The battery is vehicle‑specific fit and comes with standard F1 terminals. Follow the motorcycle’s service manual for removal of the old battery and secure the new unit in the same location.

Is this battery compatible with heated grips and other accessories?

Absolutely. With a 16 Ah capacity, the battery can comfortably power heated grips, GPS units, and auxiliary lights without compromising start performance.

How long will the battery last under normal riding conditions?

When properly maintained and kept charged, Yuasa AGM batteries typically provide 3‑5 years of service life, thanks to their robust construction and vibration‑resistant design.

What should I do if the battery discharges completely?

Because it is an AGM type, you can recharge it with a standard motorcycle charger. Avoid deep discharge for extended periods, as it may reduce overall lifespan.
