XB12AL-A2 Sealed AGM MF Battery

Xtreme Volts XB12AL-A2 is a direct replacement for the Yuasa YB12AL-A2 battery, and BMW part number 61 21 7 694 431 battery supplied with your vehicle.  Because the Xtreme Volts XB12AL-A2 is a sealed battery with no vent tube it is also a direct replacement for the Yuasa YB12AL-A.The XB12AL-A2 measures 5.3125" wide x 3.1875" deep x 6.1275" high.  When viewing the battery with the terminals on the side of the battery closest to you the positive terminal is on the right side, negative on the left. It is a 12 volt battery, rated at 12 amp hours, and 200 Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) as rated by the factory.

Drawbacks to the standard flooded cell YB12AL-A2 Battery

The original factory supplied YB12AL-A2 utilizes a flooded cell type construction and incorporates a vent tube.  In sports bike applications the battery does not spend a lot of time in a vertical position.  Because the conventional flooded cell battery has a vent tube, the battery being at anything other than vertical may result in acid leaking from from the battery through the vent tube, and usually onto expensive bike parts.

Solve the problem of leaking battery acid damaging your bike –

The Xtreme Volts version of the XB12AL-A2 battery is produced using the newer AGM style construction, which is much better suited for spots bike applications.  The Xtreme Volts version of the XB12AL-A2 is constructed as a true factory sealed absorbed glass mat (AGM), maintenance free (MF), valve regulated lead acid battery (VRLA).   What does this means to the battery user? First, factory sealed means the battery comes with the acid already installed. The battery is permanently sealed, so there is no acid to handle.  Next, AGM construction incorporates glass mating packed between the plates.  As acid is added to the battery the acid absorbs into the glass matting.  This eliminates free floating acid in the battery, and eliminates the chance of acid leaking from the battery even when the battery case is damaged.  The glass mat also acts as a dampener, or cushion against shock and vibration, making this battery well suited for V-twin, as well as rugged, pounding conditions as may be encountered with dual sport motorcycles applications such as the BMW F650.  Third, it is maintenance free (MF).  There is no need to check or maintain fluid levels in the battery.  Finally, a valve regulated lead acid (VRLA) battery does not have a vent tube.  Vapors produced by the battery are re-circulated back into the battery.  This reduces corrosion around the battery, while also eliminating the venting of hazardous hydrogen gas under normal operating and charging conditions.  In addition, the absence of a vent tube means no acid leaking from the battery.
