Yuasa Motorcycle Batteries

Yuasa batteries are among the most well-known and respected in the motorcycle battery industry, thanks to their reliability, longevity, and performance. Yuasa is a Japanese brand with a long tradition in producing vehicle batteries, and its batteries are used not only for motorcycles, but also for other vehicles such as scooters, ATVs, and snowmobiles.

Types of Yuasa motorcycle batteries:

Yuasa offers several battery lines, suitable for various types of motorcycles and needs. Here are some of the main categories:

1. Yuasa YTX (and other equivalent series) :

   • Lead-acid batteries : These are sealed, maintenance-free batteries, one of the most common options for motorcycles and scooters. They offer good durability and resistance, and are a popular choice for street and touring motorcycles.
   • Advantages : Easy to use, they don't require refilling and are ready to use. They are often sold pre-filled.

2. Yuasa AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) :

   • Yuasa AGM batteries are an advanced version of lead-acid batteries. Instead of using free liquid, the acid is absorbed into a fiberglass matrix. This design makes them more shock-resistant, safer, and more durable than conventional batteries.
   • Advantages : They can be installed in any position, are less sensitive to vibration and are suitable for motorcycles that require greater starting capacity.

3. Yuasa Gel :

   • Yuasa gel batteries use a gel instead of liquid acid, ensuring greater safety and superior performance. They are perfect for motorcycles used in extreme climates or in situations that require a particularly durable battery.
   • Advantages : Greater resistance to thermal shock, minimal losses, and long life.

4. Yuasa lithium :

   • Although less common, Yuasa offers lithium batteries for sport and high-performance motorcycles. These batteries are lightweight, have a fast charging capacity, and last longer than traditional lead-acid batteries.
   • Advantages : Lightweight, long-lasting, and fast-discharging. However, they require a specific charger.

Why choose Yuasa batteries:

• Reliability : Yuasa batteries are known for their long life and starting ability, even under difficult conditions.
• Superior Performance : Thanks to their advanced technology (such as AGM and Gel), Yuasa batteries offer superior performance, especially in high-performance motorcycles.
• Wide choice : Yuasa has a wide range of batteries suitable for any type of motorcycle, from the smallest and lightest to the most powerful and robust.
• Japanese quality : Yuasa is a brand with a long experience in the sector and produces high-quality batteries, designed to meet the needs of the most demanding motorcyclists.

Yuasa Battery Maintenance:

Even though many of Yuasa's batteries are sealed and maintenance-free, it is always important to follow some good practices to keep your battery in good condition:

• Correct charging : Use a charger compatible with the battery type (AGM, Gel, lead-acid, etc.) to avoid damage.
• Storage : If you will not use the motorcycle for a long time, remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place, avoiding excessively high or low temperatures.
