YB16AL-A2
XB16AL-A2 Sealed AGM MF Battery
Xtreme Volts XB16AL-A2 is a direct replacement for the Yuasa YB16AL-A2 battery supplied with your vehicle. The XB16AL-A2 measures 8.125" wide x 2.8125" deep x 6.4375" 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 right. It is a 12 volt battery, rated at 16 amp hours, and 290 Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) as rated by the factory.
Drawbacks to the standard flooded cell YB16AL-A2 Battery
The original factory supplied YB16AL-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 XB16AL-A2 battery is produced using the newer AGM style construction, which is much better suited for spots bike applications. The Xtreme Volts XB16AL-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 motorcycles such as the Ducati, as well as rugged, pounding conditions as may be encountered with Yamaha snowmobile applications. 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.
What is AGM
AGM batteries have glass mat packed between the plates. When acid is added to the battery it is absorbed into the glass mat. This eliminates free floating acid in the battery. Once acid is added to the battery it is sealed and never needs additional acid. Because the acid is absorbed into the glass mat it can not leak if inverted or damaged. A second feature of the Xtreme Volts AGM battery is internal valving to control and reprocess hydrogen gasses produced by the battery. One of the benefits of this design is the elimination of corrosion around the battery. In addition, Xtreme Volts AGM batteries do not have vent tubes, eliminating the possibility of leaking acid damaging expensive parts on your vehicle.
