About this battery

Sealed battery for the YB5L-B battery compartment: it never needs topping up and has no vent tube.

The original YB5L-B is a conventional flooded battery. A sealed battery replaces it without maintenance, provided the motorcycle’s voltage regulator / rectifier charges between 14.0 and 14.8 V (measure at the terminals with the engine running at 3000–4000 rpm). For older motorcycles that charge below this range, stick with a conventional battery.

Use a smart motorcycle battery charger: the recommended current is around 0.6 A (capacity divided by 10), and never more than 3 A.
