This is a direct replacement for the YTX16-BS: the same voltage, polarity and case size. It leaves the factory with the electrolyte inside and is charged, so there’s no acid pack and no waiting: check the voltage and fit it.
Use a smart motorcycle battery charger: the recommended current is around 1.4 A (capacity divided by 10), and never more than 3 A.
