Motobatt Battery Quadflex AGM - MB10U

Specifically designed for motorcycles, Motobatt batteries offer much higher cranking power and higher amp hour ratings. Their batteries can withstand constant starting without draining the battery or causing long-term cell damage. Their unique terminal design offers far greater versatility, allowing them to fit a wider range of applications which enables stockists to carry a narrower range of batteries for a large market, which makes it easier for retail customers to find a battery to fit their vehicle, in stock.

Motobatt batteries are manufactured from Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM), this design has revolutionised the motorcycle, ATV, lawnmower and small engine industry. QuadFlex provides a unique four-terminal design with two positives, two negatives along with height spacers that permit an almost universal fit. All Motobatt AGM Batteries are maintenance-free, non-hazardous, non-spill, charged and ready to install directly out of the box.

Each plate in the battery is wrapped in a fibrous glass matting which not only absorbs all liquid electrolytes but keeps the plates separated in a cushioned environment. This stops the plates from vibrating which can break down the plate and cause short circuits between the plates or break plate welds which results in battery failure. The thick, heavy plates used in Motobatt designs really make the difference.

AGM batteries also have a much lower inherent self-discharge rate than wet flooded types. And, as a higher amp hour AGM battery, the Motobatt battery can also discharge more deeply and recover repeatedly under the vehicle alternator charge or through maintenance charging. A standard flooded cell battery is not capable of withstanding this type of cycling without premature failure.

Your Motobatt is a Factory Activated battery, it comes to you pre-conditioned and fully charged for optimum performance and ready to install out of the box. 80% of early Powersports battery failure is caused by faulty activation of the dry battery plates. Additionally, you never have to mess with acid or top up fluid levels or remove corrosion from the terminals caused by gassing, which are all common with standard flooded battery types.

No initial charging or acid filling is required — the battery is factory activated and ships fully charged, so it can be installed straight from the box.
Check your tray depth and terminal orientation before fitting: use the QuadFlex posts on whichever side suits your leads, and fit the included 9mm bottom spacer if you need extra height.
Use the supplied M6 screws, terminal hardware and 4mm Allen key; tighten terminal screws firmly but do not overtighten, as stripped posts are not covered by normal wear.
Fit the supplied caps over any unused terminals to prevent shorting against the frame, seat base or loose tools.
Disconnect the negative lead first when removing a battery and reconnect it last when installing, to reduce the risk of shorting through the chassis.
Keep the case and terminals clean and dry — wipe with a dry or lightly damp cloth; never open the battery, add water or add acid, as it is a sealed maintenance-free unit.
Use only a charger with an AGM setting. Do not use an unregulated or high-rate flooded/'boost' charger, which can overheat and damage AGM plates.
If the bike is stored or ridden infrequently, keep the battery on a maintenance (trickle) charger or top it up periodically — AGM self-discharge is low but not zero, and leaving it flat for long periods shortens its life.
Investigate persistent flat batteries rather than just recharging: check for parasitic drains and confirm the charging system output, since over- or under-charging will kill any battery.
The battery can be mounted and transported in any position, but still secure it properly in the tray so it cannot shift or vibrate against surrounding components.
