BS Battery BTX12 (YTX) Factory-Activated AGM Battery

A strong battery is the difference between a quick start and a long walk. The BS Battery BTX12 (YTX) Factory-Activated AGM Battery (part number 300680) is a factory-activated AGM battery that's ready to install out of the box from BS Battery.

BS Battery makes batteries for motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, scooters and personal watercraft, and its part numbers cross-reference to common industry sizes, so you can match your old battery easily.

Fitment and Compatibility

This listing doesn't have fitment tags. The name in parentheses (YTX) is the industry size family, so this battery replaces the matching size from other brands. Match the size code, dimensions and terminal layout (positive on the left or right) to your current battery. Contact our team with your year, make and model to confirm.

Understanding Battery Types

• Conventional sealed (acid pack): ships dry; you fill it with the included acid, then it's sealed and maintenance free. It stores well before filling.
• Factory-activated AGM: filled and sealed at the factory, ready to install, and can mount at an angle.
• High-performance sealed (BGZ): extra cranking power and vibration resistance for demanding machines.
• Lithium: much lighter, holds charge longer in storage and cranks strongly, but needs a lithium-compatible charger.

Installation Steps

• Turn the ignition off and remove the seat or cover to reach the battery.
• Disconnect the negative (-) cable first, then the positive (+).
• Remove the old battery and clean the terminals and tray.
• Install the new battery in the same orientation, connecting positive (+) first and negative (-) last.
• Tighten terminals snugly and apply dielectric grease or terminal protector.
• Secure the battery hold-down and reinstall covers.

Care, Charging and Storage

A battery loses charge sitting in the garage, and short rides may not fully recharge it. Use a smart maintainer during storage, keep terminals clean and tight, and check voltage before the riding season: a fully charged 12V lead-acid battery reads about 12.7 V or higher. Recycle old batteries at a parts store or recycling center.

Signs You Need a New Battery

• Slow cranking or clicking when you press the starter
• Dim lights or electrical glitches at idle
• A battery that won't hold charge overnight
• A swollen or leaking case
• A battery more than 3 to 5 years old
