FAQs
How long does the battery last?
With proper care and usage, the Ultramax YT7B-BS can last for several years. Lifespan depends on factors like usage, climate, and maintenance.
Is this battery truly maintenance-free?
Yes, due to its AGM design. You do not need to add water or perform other maintenance tasks after the initial acid filling.
What if my motorcycle sits unused for a long time?
It is recommended to use a trickle charger to keep the battery charged when the motorcycle is not in use for extended periods.
Can I install the battery myself?
Yes, the installation is straightforward, and the battery comes with instructions. However, if you are not comfortable, consult a professional.
What is the warranty?
The Ultramax YT7B-BS comes with a 12-month warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
What type of acid is used?
The battery uses sulfuric acid, included with the battery in a separate pack.
How do I dispose of the old battery?
Take the old battery to a local recycling center or a facility that accepts lead-acid batteries for proper disposal.
Troubleshooting
Motorcycle won't start.
Check battery terminals for corrosion. Ensure the connections are secure. If the battery is new, verify it was filled with acid and allowed to activate for the appropriate time. Check the motorcycle's charging system and fuses.
Battery drains quickly.
Check for parasitic drain (electrical components draining power when the motorcycle is off). Test the charging system (alternator/regulator) to ensure it's charging the battery properly.
Battery acid leaking.
Ensure the battery is upright. Check for cracks in the battery casing. If leaking, stop use immediately and consult a professional. Make sure acid was properly absorbed into the AGM during activation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Compatibility: Verify the battery's dimensions (150mm L x 65mm W x 93mm H) and terminal configuration match your motorcycle's requirements. This battery is compatible with a wide range of bikes including Yamaha FZR450, TTR250, Suzuki DRZ400 and others. Check your existing battery's part number or consult your motorcycle's manual.
- Preparation: Open the battery package and locate the acid pack. Carefully follow the instructions provided to fill the battery with acid.
- Activation: Allow the battery to stand for the recommended time (typically 30 minutes) after filling with acid. This allows the acid to be absorbed completely into the Glass Mat Separators.

- Charging: If the motorcycle is not used for a long period, use a trickle charger to maintain battery health.

Important Safety Notes:
- Always wear protective gloves and eye protection when handling battery acid.
