How to Find Your Motorcycle Battery Code
Unlike car batteries that use simple codes like "619," motorcycle and ATV batteries use a complex string of letters and numbers (e.g., YTX7L-BS, YB14L-A2).
This code is critical. It defines the battery's physical size, terminal position (polarity), and power. Getting the wrong one means it simply won't fit or connect.
3 Ways to Find Your Code
- The Old Battery (Easiest Method): The code is almost always printed in large letters on the front or top of your old battery. Look for a code like "YTX9-BS" or "12N7-3B".
- Your Owner's Manual: Your bike's original owner's manual will list the correct battery part number in the specifications section.
- Call Us: If you can't find the code, just call us. Have your bike's Make, Model, and Year ready (e.g., "2018 Honda CBR600"). We can look it up in our system.
We Stock the Right Tech (AGM)
Almost all modern bikes use AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries. These are sealed, spill-proof, and highly vibration-resistant, which is essential for a motorcycle.
We stock a full range of high-performance Enertec AGM bike batteries to match your code. Bring in your old battery or just the code, and we'll give you the correct, sealed replacement.
