Yuasa YTZ14S AGM Motorcycle Battery — Factory-Activated YUAM72Z14, 230 CCA 11.2Ah

Yuasa YUAM72Z14 YTZ14S is a factory-activated, high-performance AGM motorcycle battery engineered for maximum starting power and superior vibration resistance.

Built with Yuasa’s expanded plate grid and Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) technology, this YTZ14S delivers reliable cranking amps in a compact, nonspillable package. The battery ships filled, sealed and charged from the factory so it’s ready to install on compatible motorcycles and scooters. Enhanced active materials and vibration-tough separators extend dependable service life while the valve-regulated design eliminates routine water maintenance.

How does this battery improve cold starts and cranking performance?

The YTZ14S produces strong cold cranking amps thanks to an increased number of thinner plates and a radial grid layout that raises active plate surface area. That design increases the electron flow available for ignition without making the battery much larger.

• Cold Cranking Amps (CCA): 230 at 0 °F (-18 °C)
• Capacity: 11.2 Ah at 10-hour rate for reliable accessory and starter support
• Expanded plate grid design improves starting power compared with conventional batteries

What makes this battery low-maintenance and safe to use?

Yuasa’s AGM construction absorbs electrolyte into glass mats, making the unit nonspillable and safer to mount in different orientations. The valve-regulated sealed design prevents water loss and eliminates the need to add distilled water, so routine topping-up isn’t required.

• Factory Activated — prefilled, sealed and charged for immediate installation
• VRLA (valve-regulated lead-acid) prevents leaks and reduces maintenance
• Absorbed Glass Mat separators minimize acid stratification and vibration damage

How does it handle vibration and long-term durability?

Enhanced active and separator materials are compounded to withstand severe vibration commonly experienced on motorcycles and adventure bikes. The combination of more plates and reinforced separators reduces internal movement and plate damage, improving cycle life under real-world riding conditions.

• Designed to resist severe vibration typical of off-road and touring use
• Improved chemistry and grid construction prolong operational life
• Longer service life compared to conventional flooded batteries in similar applications

What size and electrical specs should I expect for fit and charging?

The YUAM72Z14 measures compactly to fit many modern motorcycles and scooters while still delivering ample capacity. Check your motorcycle’s manual or existing battery dimensions to confirm compatibility before ordering.

• Dimensions: 6.0 in (150 mm) L × 3 7/16 in (87 mm) W × 4 3/8 in (110 mm) H
• Weight (with acid): 8.6 lbs
• Regular charge current: 1.1 A recommended for safe charging and long life

Who this battery is for: Riders and technicians who want a compact, ready-to-install replacement battery for sportbikes, adventure bikes, cruisers and select scooters. Ideal for owners of BMW, Honda, KTM, Suzuki, Yamaha and Triumph models listed as compatible, plus anyone seeking a sealed, maintenance-free AGM option with improved starting power and vibration resilience.
