About this deal

Use this form to register your battery within 21 days for extending your 12 month warranty to two years and should you ever need to make a claim please use the same form. Charging the Motobatt MBTX12U Your battery comes to you pre-conditioned ready to install out of the box. You don't have to add acid, however due to storage variations in the supply chain you should always put the battery on an AGM type charger prior to fitting.

The terminals handy being on either side. Caution should be used when installing as the brass and stainless steel allen cap bolts can be difficult to get right, if you have multiple connectors then replacement 6mm bolts will be needed, care required in bolt length. I also had used the four terminals which make these different for attachment of accessories and a charger. So I went for the same to enable a straight swap. Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) batteries are completely leak proof, maintenance free, charged and ready to fit straight out of the box.I’ve had one of these on a bike for a few years. Can’t really comment on quality other than what’s visible as bike sat on a charger a lot and not many miles. I bought the same as the old one “looked” like quality and the specs (capacity and cranking amps) supposedly better than other options. Motobatt's 'Power Balanced' design has been developed to provide the optimum balance between cranking power and durability, offering a high current draw enabling efficient starting of large and high compression engines in cold temperatures and a high Ah rate to cope with the demands of modern systems. Many bike owners just don’t realise about the onslaught a modern battery now faces in the realm of sophisticated electronics. Motobatt's Quad Flex batteries have 4 terminals (2+ and 2-) and when necessary include spacers and height adjusters, allowing fitments to several different models as well as easier fitment for additional accessory leads. Note the image may not be exactly as item received and any slight difference will not be inferior or effect performance

Most parts are pattern or aftermarket although some will be genuine but are not always stated as being so. Draining a battery from parasitic loads is the number one cause of battery failure and once taken under 8V it’s very difficult for the battery to recover.MotoBatt’s unique terminal and spacer system reduces the total number of batteries required to equal the total number of original equipment (OE) battery part numbers. This can make it challenging to switch from a MotoBatt battery to another brand.

Motobatt batteries was founded in the US in 2008. Since then the Motobatt brand has become world renown for Premium Powersports batteries, battery chargers and accessories but most famously they are known for the innovative 4 terminal design for ease of installation. A revolutionary idea of minimal battery models to cover hundreds of part numbers with the use of a 4 terminal design and battery spacers. Motobatt also cater for other markets with their Mobility and Deep Cycle battery range. Please read more here Battery Care and FAQs, which applies to all batteries supplied by Motorcycle Products.They make a big thing of the quadflex terminals and instructions and datasheet show supply of two terminals, four domed hex bolts and a hex key. That’s not what you receive. They’ve changed the terminals to a thinner, cheaper design. You can still attach on the top or front, but no longer on the side of the terminal. The bolts are now ordinary ones with nuts…..and they only supply 2 so the other two terminals are useless until you buy more nuts and bolts. The old bolts can’t be reused. We recommend one of our chargers as they are all suited for AGM batteries, this will ensure your battery is kept in the fully charged state it was designed for. Replaces: YTX12-BS, CTX12-BS, TTX12-BS, PTX12-BS, ETX12-BS, GTX12-BS, FTX12-BS, 6E12, ATH12-12B, B12-12B, 510-012-009, Suzuki 33610-17E10, DTX12-BS, ATH12-12B, YB12BB2, YTX14-BS, YTX14H-BS, YTX14L-BS, KMX14-BS, YTX15L-BS, YB12BB-2, CB12BB-2, 512014010 The rest of the battery also has signs of going cheaper on manufacture. A silly thing, but possibly indicative of this is, is that the model number lettering is now in an odd font (the one used by Motobatt usually). It also had another number printed on in a font which just screams “generic cheapo Chinese product). Might be nothing, but if they’ve gone cheap on the terminals and these details, what’s changed that you can’t see?
