GP-PRO Gel Motorcycle Battery 12 V 19 Ah GB16CL-B maintenance-free sealed pre-charged similar to YB16CL-B / FA131 / LB16CL-B

The GP-PRO Gel battery GB16CL-B is a 12 V gel motorcycle battery with 19 Ah, designed for high performance and a long service life. It is sealed, maintenance-free and is delivered pre-charged, so that it is ready for immediate installation. The GEL technology binds the battery acid and reduces self-discharge.

Product features:

• 12 V Gel starter battery
• Capacity 19 Ah
• Positive terminal right
• Length: 176 mm, Width: 100 mm, Height: 175 mm
• GEL technology with bound battery acid through special silica gel (gelled)
• Leak-proof design due to gelled battery acid
• Significantly reduced self-discharge due to gel-like consistency
• Substantially longer shelf life than other battery types
• Suitable for longer vehicle downtime during the season
• Maintenance-free in operation and sealed
• Directly ready for installation due to pre-charged delivery state
• Increased starting power

Due to the leak-proof, sealed gel design, the electrolyte remains bound, which increases operational safety during installation and storage conditions and reduces self-discharge. Functionally, the battery is therefore particularly relevant for vehicles that stand seasonally or are moved irregularly, without the need for maintenance work such as refilling liquid during operation.

Technical details:

• Nominal voltage: 12 V
• Capacity: 19 Ah
• Cold cranking amps (EN): 255 A
• Dimensions: Length 176 mm, Width 100 mm, Height 175 mm
• Terminal layout: Positive terminal right
• Design: Gel battery
• Properties: maintenance-free, directly ready for installation, increased starting power
• Technology: latest GEL technology
• Delivery state: sealed and fully charged

The combination of 12 V, 19 Ah, 255 A cold cranking amps as well as the dimensions and the terminal layout positive terminal right is decisive for replacement compatibility. Above all, the design (176 x 100 x 175 mm) and the terminal side determine whether the battery fits into the battery box, holder and connection cables without adjustments.

Vehicle and model compatibility:

• This battery is suitable as a replacement if the vehicle is designed for a battery with 12 V, 19 Ah, dimensions 176 x 100 x 175 mm and positive terminal right.
• Additionally, the vehicle requirements for cold cranking amps and connection design should match the YB16CL-B design.
• Comparison designations: BB16CL-B, EB16CL-B, FA131, FB16CL-B, LB16CL-B, CB16CL-B, FTH16-12
• Compatible with the following series and manufacturers:
  • Kawasaki: KAF 540, KEF 300 Lakota Sport, KLF 220 A1 / A11 Bayou, KLF 250 Bayou, KLF 300 Bayou A / B / C 4x4, KLF 400 Bayou / B 4x4 and others
  • Bombardier - Can-am: DS 450, DS 650 / Baja / X, Outlander 450 / Max, Quest 650, Quest 650 Max, Quest 650 XT and others
  • John: Deere Buck 500 EX / EXT, Deere HPX 350 Gator, Deere Trail Buck 650 EX / EXT, Deere Trial Buck 500
  • Honda: Pioneer 700
  • Husqvarna: QM 450
  • Hyosung: 450 Sport Quad

Compatibility must always be checked based on dimensions, capacity and terminal layout.

Installation and application notes:

• Before installation, check the battery for a clean, firm fit in the battery box and correct terminal assignment positive terminal right
• Keep terminals and connection cables free of corrosion, ensure firm screwing
• During longer winter downtime: remove battery and store dry and warm
• During winter storage: recharge occasionally with a special battery charger for motorcycle batteries
• Observe charging parameters: choose a very low charging current for sealed batteries

For sealed gel batteries, a low, suitable charging current is relevant to charge the battery in a controlled manner and avoid thermal stress. In connection with dry, warm storage in winter, the state of charge can be kept stable, which supports starting readiness after long downtime.

Note on checking before purchase:

• Before purchase, compare the existing battery designation, the dimensions, the terminal layout (positive terminal right) as well as the vehicle-specific specifications for battery design and charging process. If the terminal side or installation height differs, installation may not be possible despite matching voltage and capacity.

Gel batteries: Care & Notes

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

To maintain their service life and performance, deep discharge must be absolutely avoided, as this can permanently damage GEL batteries. During longer downtime, 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 firmly mounted, 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 safety and maintenance-free use. In development, practice-relevant factors such as starting behavior, stability 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.
