GP-PRO Gel Scooter Battery / Motorcycle Battery 12 V 12 Ah GT12A-BS maintenance-free sealed pre-charged similar to YT12A-BS / YT12A / FA118

The GP-PRO Gel battery is designed as a 12 V 12 Ah starter battery for scooters and motorcycles where a compact, maintenance-free battery with reliable starting power is required. Due to the sealed gel construction, it is particularly suitable for vehicles with seasonal use or long periods of inactivity. The battery is delivered pre-charged and is ready for immediate installation.

Product Features:

• 12 V Gel starter battery
• Capacity 12 Ah
• Positive terminal left
• Length: 150 mm, Width: 87 mm, Height: 105 mm
• Gel battery with immobilized battery acid
• Absolutely maintenance-free during operation
• Leak-proof, fully sealed construction
• Significantly reduced self-discharge
• Increased starting power for reliable engine start
• Directly ready for installation and pre-charged

The immobilized battery acid ensures a leak-proof construction and makes the battery less sensitive to long periods of inactivity. This keeps the starting capability stable even for seasonally used vehicles, without the need for maintenance work such as refilling acid.

Technical Details:

• Nominal voltage: 12 V
• Capacity: 12 Ah
• Cold cranking amps (EN): 175 A
• Dimensions: Length 150 mm, Width 87 mm, Height 105 mm
• Terminal layout: Positive terminal left
• Design: Gel battery
• Condition upon delivery: Sealed and pre-charged

The combination of 12 Ah capacity and 175 A cold cranking amps is designed for applications where a compact battery with stable starting power is required. Dimensions and terminal layout must match the vehicle's standard battery holder.

Vehicle and Model Compatibility:

Use is intended when a battery of the YT12A-BS design is used in the vehicle and dimensions as well as terminal layout match.

The decisive factors for actual use are the design, dimensions 150 x 87 x 105 mm as well as the terminal layout Positive terminal left. The model specifications serve as a guide and do not replace a technical check of the vehicle before purchase.

Installation and Application Notes:

• The battery is sealed, maintenance-free, and pre-charged and can be installed directly.
• During long periods of inactivity, especially in winter, it is recommended to remove the battery and store it in a dry and warm place.

To recharge, a suitable charger for motorcycle batteries must be used, as the charging current for sealed gel batteries must be very low.

Note on checking before purchase:

• Before purchase, the design, dimensions 150 x 87 x 105 mm, terminal layout Positive terminal left as well as the battery class specified by the vehicle manufacturer should be compared with the specifications of this battery.

Gel Batteries: Care & Notes

GEL batteries are maintenance-free and specifically designed for use in motorcycles, motor scooters, and light two-wheelers.

To maintain their lifespan and performance, deep discharge must be avoided at all costs, as this can permanently damage GEL batteries. During long periods of inactivity, regular recharging with a charger suitable for GEL batteries is recommended, as a charging voltage that is too high can damage the gel structure.

The battery should always be mounted firmly and kept clean and dry to avoid vibrations, contact problems, and leakage currents. A sufficient state of charge is particularly important in the cold season, as GEL batteries also lose performance at low temperatures.

About the Manufacturer GP-PRO

As a manufacturer of two-wheeler batteries, GP-PRO develops its products based on the latest GEL technology.

This design enables a uniform power output, high operational reliability, and maintenance-free use. In development, practice-relevant factors such as starting behavior, stability during downtime, and long-term electrical stability are the focus.

Thus, GP-PRO stands for sophisticated battery technology with a clear focus on reliability and everyday suitability.

Note on Battery Disposal

Old batteries must not be disposed of in household waste. End-users are legally obliged to return batteries to a suitable collection point. Starter batteries can be returned free of charge to municipal collection points or retailers who carry starter batteries. The symbol of the crossed-out dustbin indicates this obligation.

Shipping of old batteries via regular parcel services is generally not possible due to hazardous goods regulations. Alternatively, old batteries can be disposed of free of charge at municipal recycling centers or in specialist shops.

Meaning of Battery Symbols

Batteries are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out dustbin. This symbol indicates that batteries must not be placed in household waste.

For batteries containing more than 0.0005 mass percent mercury, more than 0.002 mass percent cadmium, or more than 0.004 mass percent lead, the chemical designation of the respective pollutant used is located under the dustbin symbol - where "Cd" stands for cadmium, "Pb" stands for lead, and "Hg" for mercury.
