You bought a BMW motorcycle to experience the thrill of precision engineering and the joy of the open road. To power it, you need a reliable and powerful battery to maximize performance. AGM maintenance-free Yuasa batteries stand out as the best battery for BMW motorcycles, offering exceptional performance and dependability.

Let’s start with the most common choice for BMW, and then talk about other options and upgrades.

The Yuasa YTZ: Perfect for BMW

Compact and lightweight, the AGM YTZ batteries deliver greater efficiency for the volume and rugged starting power. Reliable and long-lived, the exceptional vibration resistance, corrosion-preventive,  and high-pressure plates make this an excellent choice for most BMWs, especially BMW Sportbikes.

On top of all that? They deliver up to 30% more CCA than standard AGM batteries despite being lighter and more compact than a comparable standard YTX version of the same battery size.

Yuasa YTZ batteries are renowned for their superior cranking power, longevity, and maintenance-free operation. Here are the key reasons why the YTZ battery is a top choice for BMW motorcycle owners:

• Superior Cranking Power: The YTZ series provides unmatched power, ensuring your BMW starts reliably every time.
• Longevity and Durability: Designed to withstand the rigors of long rides, YTZ batteries offer long-term reliability and peace of mind.
• Maintenance-Free Operation: YTZ batteries are sealed and maintenance-free, allowing you to focus on the ride without worrying about battery upkeep.
• Compatibility with BMW’s Electrical Systems: YTZ batteries integrate seamlessly with BMW motorcycles, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.

Best BMW Models for Other Yuasa Batteries

Not every BMW model is compatible with a YTZ Battery. Some models require a larger casing size. Yuasa offers various batteries for fitment across many different models. Our batteries are compatible with a wide range of BMW motorcycles, from cruisers like 2020-2024 R18s (YIZ30L, GYZ32HL) to adventure bikes such as the R1200 and R1250 (YTX14, YTX14H, GYZ16H). Yuasa AGM Maintenance Free Batteries deliver both the CCA and compatibility you need and the reliability for long-distance and high-performance riding.

Whichever model you ride, Yuasa makes the best battery for it.

Additional Yuasa Battery Options for BMW

While the YTZ series is an excellent choice, Yuasa offers many high-quality batteries suitable for BMW motorcycles, including stepping it up to a higher-level of power and performance for those interested in a replacement battery for their BMW that delivers the highest possible performance.

These batteries offer excellent performance and reliability, ensuring that BMW riders have access to the best power solutions.

Addressing Common Issues with BMW Batteries

While they are truly well-engineered machines, riders may encounter some common issues when choosing and installing replacement batteries for BMWs. Choosing the right battery can be challenging due to various factors such as battery style, post-placement, and sizing issues.

Here are some common pain points and how Yuasa batteries address them:

• Compatibility Issues: BMW does not provide specific battery applications, so it’s best to check the vehicle's existing battery. Yuasa’s wide range of compatible batteries ensures a suitable option for your BMW.
• Installation Considerations: Proper installation is crucial. Ensure your replacement battery is installed in the exact same orientation as your original battery. Taking photos before you remove your battery to replace it can be helpful.
• Sizing and Fitment: Yuasa offers various battery sizes to fit different BMW models, ensuring a perfect fit and reliable performance. Check out our Battery Finder–just click Battery Search on the website–to find the ideal battery for your BMWs year, make, and model.
