The YB3L-B column gives the specifications from Yuasa’s product page, as Yuasa is the brand that gives this battery code its name. The other column shows the specifications of the battery sold by Satkit. Capacity is always compared using the same hour rate, and starting current using the same standard.

Before switching to a sealed battery
The original is a conventional flooded battery. An AGM or gel battery can replace it as a maintenance-free option if the motorcycle’s voltage regulator/rectifier charges between 14.0 and 14.8 V at 3000–4000 rpm. If it charges below this range, stick with a conventional battery. A sealed battery has no vent tube, so leave the motorcycle’s vent tube disconnected.
