The bottom line: this AJC replacement is for people who want a rugged, higher-capacity 12V battery (CCA 170) with standard terminal E and positive polarity that drops into a wide range of motorcycles, ATVs, and scooters.

• Reliable power output: 170 CCA provides consistent cranking power to start small-displacement engines even in cooler conditions.
• Polarity and terminals: Positive polarity and terminal E layout match common powersports connectors to avoid adapter hassles.
• Built rugged: Constructed for powersports use so it tolerates vibration and on- and off-road conditions better than ordinary consumer batteries.
• Higher capacity: Increased capacity versus older or weak batteries helps accessories and repeated starts during long rides or trail days.

Who It's For

The AJC GT12B-4 compatible battery is aimed at riders of motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, scooters and personal watercraft that accept GT12B-4/12B-BS style batteries and need a durable replacement with dependable cranking power.
