When the time comes to replace the original equipment (OE) battery it is important for all riders to consider if the new product they are fitting is of the same technology, quality and specification as the OE original.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nIn addition to like-for-like replacement, there are also upgrade options available for certain bikes. Yuasa have recently introduced the YT19BL-BS absorbed glass mat (AGM) battery specifically designed to replace the conventional vented lead-acid batteries that come as original equipment on BMW motorcycles. The AGM technology with a lead calcium design, used in the YT19BL-BS eliminates water loss and reduces self-discharge meaning the battery holds its charge more than three times longer than the OE original.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nBefore installing an upgraded battery, fitment and compatibility must be checked.
