Shipped dry with the electrolyte in a separate bottle, the battery is filled and activated by the user when ready. Compact dimensions and a 12 Ah capacity make it suitable for many motorcycles, ATVs, and powersports applications where dependable starting and low upkeep are priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much starting power does this battery provide?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe YTX14H‑BS offers 240 cold cranking amps (CCA) at 0 °F (−18 °C), which is up to 30% more starting power compared with earlier Yuasa designs.
