Yuasa YUAM72Z14 YTZ14S Factory Activated AGM Battery | High Performance Motorcycle Battery

Powerful, maintenance-free starting power for motorcycles

Meet the Yuasa YUAM72Z14 YTZ14S Factory Activated AGM Battery—engineered with an expanded plate grid and an increased number of plates to deliver reliable starting power while withstanding harsh vibration. Its design is reinforced with enhanced active materials and separator technology to keep conduction steady even under dynamic riding conditions.

At the heart of this battery is an Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) separator which holds electrolyte securely, creating a spill-proof, valve-regulated unit. The factory-activated (FA) process means the battery arrives filled, sealed, and charged, ready for installation without the need for water top-ups. This VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead-Acid) design helps minimize electrolyte loss and maintenance concerns, so you can focus more on the road and less on upkeep.

Key features and what they could mean for you

• Up to 30% more cranking amps thanks to a radial grid design and additional plates
• Spill-proof VRLA architecture reduces the risk of leaks in rugged riding conditions
• Advanced lead-calcium technology enhances starting power and overall longevity
• Maintenance-free operation with long life, potentially lasting longer than conventional batteries
