Bosch PowerSport Lithium Motorcycle Battery BLP5P - Group 5, 12V 260A, Fast Recharge & Lightweight

The Bosch BLP5P is a compact, maintenance-free 12V lithium PowerSport battery that delivers high cranking power, fast recharge, and long service life for motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs and personal watercraft.

This next-generation Bosch lithium-ion battery replaces heavier lead-acid cells with a lighter, more durable source of starting and electrical power optimized for high-demand powersport applications. Built with Bosch’s cell management and protection systems, the BLP5P provides strong cold-cranking amps, rapid recharge, and a push-button state-of-charge indicator so you can check readiness before a ride. It ships with terminal fasteners and stackable spacers to fit a wide range of Group 5 battery bays.

How does the BLP5P improve starting reliability?

The BLP5P delivers a high discharge rate and stable voltage under load, ideal for quick starts and repeated cranking. Its chemistry sustains usable power even after long idles or multiple engine starts, reducing the chance of a no-start situation in remote conditions.

• 260A peak cranking capability for strong starts
• Low self-discharge for weeks of standby readiness
• Built-in overcharge protection and cell balancing
• Push-button state-of-charge indicator for instant checks

How fast does it recharge compared with lead-acid batteries?

The Bosch lithium PowerSport cell chemistry and efficient internal management allow much faster recharge cycles than conventional lead-acid batteries. Expect full recharge times under two hours with a suitable charger, making it practical between rides or during brief stops.

• Full recharge in about 2 hours with compatible charger
• Higher usable energy per charge versus lead-acid
• Supports up to ~3,500 charge cycles in optimal conditions
• Reduced downtime between uses for frequent riders

Is the Bosch lithium battery durable enough for off-road and marine use?

Bosch designed the BLP5P for demanding power-sport environments, emphasizing vibration resistance and a sealed, maintenance-free build. Without liquid electrolytes, the battery avoids spill hazards and gas emissions, while protective electronics preserve cell health under varied temperatures and charging conditions.

• Sealed, maintenance-free design—no fluids to add
• Enhanced vibration resistance for rough terrain
• No combustible gas release during normal operation
• Low weight—about 50% lighter than comparable lead-acid units

What comes with the battery for installation and fitment?

The BLP5P includes accessories to simplify installation in many Group 5 battery compartments. Bosch supplies terminal fasteners, stackable spacers and clear instructions so you can adapt the battery to different tray dimensions and terminal layouts.

• Terminal fasteners for secure electrical connection
• Stackable spacers to adjust physical fit in the tray
• Clear installation instructions included
• Compatible with motorcycles, scooters, ATVs, UTVs and jet skis that accept Group 5 batteries

Who is this for: The Bosch BLP5P is aimed at riders and powersport owners who want a lighter, longer-lasting, maintenance-free battery with fast recharge capabilities. It suits enthusiasts and professionals who demand reliable starts and stable electrical performance in motorcycles with ABS/ESP, dirt bikes, ATVs, UTVs, scooters and personal watercraft, especially when weight savings, low maintenance, and rapid turnaround between rides matter most.
