  • Measure the space: the YB16CL-B takes up 176 × 101 × 176 mm.
  • Polarity of the YB16CL-B: positive terminal on the right (if yours has it on the other side, the cables will not reach).
  • Your current battery should say about 19 Ah; a little more is also fine.
  • Cold cranking: 240 A (EN), equal to or higher than the original.
