MotoBatt MB16A (12V 19 Amp) 200CCA Factory Activated QuadFlex AGM Battery

Update: bike was ridden lightly for the 2019 season as I rode my Valkyrie for trips. when put away and stored in an attached garage with a good battery tender over the winter it was dead when tried April 3rd 2020. It will not hold or even accept a charge after 11 months. Highly disappointing at this price point. My previous cheap Chinese flooded batteries lasted two years. In the garbage and buying an American made Deka AGM ETZ14S rectangular battery on the advice of the Honda Shadow Forum, they claim 6 years of reliable use! (Fit tight however I used silicone dielectric grease on the rubber pads and it slid right in without removing them (wouldn't go in without this clear electrical grease). This is the best battery I have had for this bike, no more trickle charging all the time or jump starts on the road. This thing is awesome, I can even leave my running lights on my light bar on all the time now even when starting and it doesn't seam to drain the battery at all like it used to. This is with 5 months of intermittent use (I have a Valkyrie for long trips) and even after sitting for a couple of weeks the battery is still fully charged and ready to go. I had no problems with the Allen wrench connectors either. This battery is a no brainier for these bikes. P.S. I used black electrical tape to cover the yellow exposed bottom portion of the battery. UN-noticeable now.

This battery was installed in my 1998 Honda Shadow, which is stored in my garage year-round. The bike had a Battery Tender trickle charger on it at all times when I wasn't riding it. Yesterday I went to start the motorcycle and got dead battery buzz from the starter. Checked and battery voltage was 11V. Thought maybe my Battery Tender was bad, so I put the battery on another charger. No dice. Got less life from this than the $75 battery from Batteries Plus.

98 VT1100C Shadow Spirit, 50K mi. OMG! 2 1/2 days before failure?! This was supposed to be an upgrade bought specifically so the I WOULDN'T be left stranded. The stock battery has trouble starting my bike under 40 degrees, so I was hoping that this would be better given the higher CCA rating. I wasn't expecting 6 years out of it like some reviewers, I replace my bat every 1 to 2 yrs, depending, just so I don't have issues, but I do demand that a battery last AT LEAST a year and that it starts my bike in the cold. This is epic failure, I will NEVER buy another MOTOBATT product since you left me stranded on the side of the road for 2hrs in the blazing 90+ degree burning sun.At least Amazon was awesome dealing with the problem, and I'll have a replacement in 2 days. Let's see how that works out. If it lasts a year, MAYBE I'll give it TWO stars b/c it isn't a complete POS, but you'll never get 3, b/c that would be an average satisfactory experience, and that ship has sailed.UPDATE:This is a class A CF. Last time they left the battery on the porch. The new battery was supposed to arrive today, and so I'm here waiting. 7PM and I'm wondering where it is, so I check tracking and it says that they tried to deliver it at 5:46 but "couldn't gain access to the front door, porch or driveway." That's BS, straight up, NOT TO MENTION that I was home at the time. Now I have to "contact the carrier". Screw you motocrap, screw you amazon, never ever ever ever again. NEGATIVE 10 STARS. No ride on Monday, suffer hours in traffic all because NONE of you could do your job competently and now I can't even go to the bike shop and get another battery because they're closed on Sunday. Thanks Everyone.UPDATE #2Got the "replacement battery". WRONG BATTERY. They sent me an MB12, which doesn't even fit the bike, and sure as heck isn't an MB16A like I ordered in the first place.

These are junk, bought two from Amazon, each lasted about a year. They post the manufacturers warranty but fail to clarify that the manufacturer doesn't extend the warranty to 3rd party sellers that aren't on their authorized dealer list. If you want to buy one of these you have to buy it from the manufacturers website so you get the one year warranty which isn't much anyways.Copy of the warranty from motobatt's website:Warranty Policy for 3rd party sellers, Amazon, Ebay, Walmart etcMotobatt USA will not process warranty for any items purchased from sellers on third party websites.

Just put it in my 1998 Honda Shadow Ace 1100. As previous reviewers have stated I, too, had to remove 4 of the rubber cushions in the battery box. It then fit fine. The terminals fit fine. The battery does extend beyond the cover and I may paint it black as suggested by another reviewer. Or just get used to it (My bike is yellow and white). The battery turns the motor over quickly and it starts almost immediately. Really happy with the fact that I don't have to add water periodically. It's early days but so far I am impressed with its power and hope its durability will exceed the Yuasas I've used in the past. Thanks to all the reviewers who helped me decide to buy it. Highly recommend this battery. Rod J

Small increase in power output compared to the acid battery this replaced in my 1999 honda shadow 1100. I knocked a star because i had to remove all rubber pieces from the battery compartment to get this to fit. Another star because of how badly this yellow battery stands out even with the battery cover on. Its the first thing everybody sees when they look at my bike. If his battery was more of a neutral color and 1mm thinner on all sides this would get 5 stars from me. Id still buy it again as long as i get 2 years out of this one.

Shipping was excellent. On time and in great condition. battery is tight fit into the Honda Shadow 1100 but I took out the rubber pads and it went in OK. I was actually a bit disappointed in the cranking speed as it's not quite as fast as my last gel/sealed battery that I bought locally. But the price through Amazon was great so I can't complain...and it hasn't failed me either.I bought it because I have upgraded the charging system on my 1100 Shadow Tourer (something that all Shadows should have done). Wish I could submit this review in a year. Everyone says the MotoBatt battery outlasts any other battery so we will see.So far, I like it.

I bought this battery for my 2000 Honda ACE Tourer, I had to take out the rubber side shims as the fit was a bit too tight, the bright yellow shows below the cover so a couple of strips of black tape fixed that problem, the bike fired up no problem , only time will tell now as to how it meets manufacturers claims,,,,,,,,,Pity it is made in China, I would much rather see it made here at home.!!!Delivery was as predicted

Tight, but fits my 84 Honda Shadow VT750. Good power, no need to charge off the box. Recommend.

Quick deliver and fits, albeit tight requiring removal of a couple of rubber shims.

très satisfait de cette batterie,
