Gel motorcycle battery specs…
Gel filled batteries are commonly used in motorbike’s where the battery lays at an angle or flat.
Gel filled batteries are usually filled by the manufacturer before being shipped and start with the code CT (e.g. CT12B-4) or CTZ (e.g. CTZ10-S).
The 1st letter of the battery code is a manufacturers letter and can be different depending on the battery manufacturer (so YT12A-BS, CT12A-BS, GT12A-BS, DT12A-BS etc are all the same battery).
Gel batteries normally have black, dark blue or grey cases and are completely sealed when they are made (so there’s no cap that can be removed and they don’t need filling with acid).
Please note – The power outputs stated on this page will vary depending on the quality of the battery!
