FAQs
What does AGM technology mean for my battery?
AGM stands for Absorbent Glass Mat. This technology uses fiberglass mats to absorb the electrolyte, making the battery spill-proof, more resistant to vibrations, and generally longer-lasting than traditional flooded lead-acid batteries.
How do I know if the MBT14B4 is the right battery for my bike?
Check your motorcycle's owner's manual or the existing battery for the battery type code (YT14B-4) and physical dimensions. Ensure the voltage (12V) and terminal configuration match your bike's requirements.
How long should this battery typically last?
With proper care and use, an AGM battery like the Motobatt MBT14B4 can last between 3 to 5 years, depending on riding conditions, climate, and charging habits. The 2-year warranty offers coverage for manufacturing defects.
Can I use a standard car battery charger on this Motobatt battery?
It's recommended to use a charger specifically designed for AGM or motorcycle batteries. Using an incorrect charger, especially one that overcharges, can damage the AGM battery.
What is the return policy for this battery?
Returns are accepted within 30 days of despatch only if the battery is genuinely faulty or in pristine, unfitted condition with original packaging. Contact us first to process a return.
What does the 175A CCA rating mean?
CCA stands for Cold Cranking Amperage. It measures the battery's ability to deliver a high current at 0°F (-18°C) for 30 seconds. A higher CCA rating, like 175A, indicates better performance in cold weather starting.
Troubleshooting
Battery not holding a charge
Ensure the battery is fully charged and that no accessories are draining the battery when the ignition is off. Check for excessive age or damage to the battery. Use a compatible AGM charger.
Difficulty connecting terminals
Utilize the Quadflex terminal options by rotating the terminal posts if needed. Ensure connectors on the motorcycle are clean and correctly sized.
Weak engine cranking
Verify the battery is fully charged. Check that the battery terminals are tight and clean. If the problem persists, the battery may be nearing the end of its lifespan or there may be an issue with the motorcycle's charging system.
Battery swelling or leaking
This indicates the battery has been damaged, likely due to overcharging or extreme temperatures. Replace the battery immediately and inspect the motorcycle's charging system.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: Before purchasing, confirm that your motorcycle requires a YT14B-4 battery type and that the dimensions (150mm L x 70mm W x 145mm H) are compatible with your battery tray. The terminal layout is Positive Front Left.
Setup: Ensure the battery is fully charged before installation. Clean the battery terminals and cable connectors on your motorcycle to ensure a good connection. Connect the positive (+) terminal first, followed by the negative (-) terminal. Secure the battery in its tray to prevent movement.
Care: As an AGM battery, it is maintenance-free. Avoid deep discharges. If the battery will be stored for extended periods, use a compatible AGM battery charger to maintain its charge. Periodically check terminal connections for corrosion and clean if necessary.
