Yuasa YTX20CH-BS Motorcycle AGM Battery YUAM6220C — 270 CCA, Maintenance-Free Bottle Supplied

The Yuasa YUAM6220C YTX20CH-BS is a maintenance-free AGM motorcycle battery delivered dry with an acid pack for user activation, offering 270 CCA and advanced lead‑calcium performance.

This YTX H Series battery combines absorbed glass mat (AGM) construction with lead‑calcium alloy technology to provide reliable starting power, reduced self‑discharge and a valve‑regulated, nonspillable design. Shipped as a Bottle Supplied (BS) unit, the battery arrives dry and is filled with the included electrolyte container when you’re ready to install, making transport and storage safer and more convenient.

How does this battery improve starting performance?

The YTX H Series boosts cold‑starting capability by increasing available cold cranking amps compared with older designs. That extra CCA helps engines turn over more effectively in cool conditions without increasing maintenance demands.

• Rated 270 CCA at 0 °F (-18 °C) for stronger initial cranking.
• AGM separators deliver immediate current flow and low internal resistance.
• Lead‑calcium plates retain specific gravity longer for sustained power.

What makes the AGM and valve‑regulated design useful?

Absorbed Glass Mat construction traps electrolyte inside glass fiber mats, so the battery is essentially nonspillable and safer to handle. The valve‑regulated feature prevents water loss and eliminates routine electrolyte top‑ups, simplifying long‑term ownership.

• Electrolyte absorbed into mats prevents leakage during normal use.
• Valve regulation reduces recombination losses and water depletion.
• Maintenance‑free operation avoids periodic refilling.

How does the Bottle Supplied (BS) format work and why choose it?

Bottle Supplied, or dry‑shipped, batteries are transported without liquid inside, using a separate sealed container for the acid. You activate the battery by pouring the supplied electrolyte into the cells when you’re ready, which improves shelf life and makes shipping compliant with transport rules.

• Delivered dry with an acid pack for safer shipping and storage.
• User fills the battery at installation for maximum freshness.
• Ideal for seasonal or spare batteries that sit in inventory before use.

What are the physical specs and charging recommendations?

The YUAM6220C matches common motorcycle and powersports sizing while maintaining a compact footprint and manageable weight once activated. Observe the recommended charging current to preserve battery life and ensure full capacity recovery.

• Dimensions: 6 in (150 mm) length × 3 7/16 in (87 mm) width × 7 3/8 in (161 mm) height.
• Weight with acid installed: approximately 13.4 lbs (6.1 kg).
• Electrical specs: 18 Ah (10‑hour rate), regular charge current ~1.8 A.

Who is this battery for? The Yuasa YUAM6220C YTX20CH-BS suits riders and powersports owners who want a high‑performance, maintenance‑free AGM battery that ships dry for safer transport. It’s a good choice for motorcycles, ATVs and other applications requiring a compact battery with solid cold‑start capability, long shelf life before activation, and minimal upkeep after installation.
