## Description

## Who the Varta YB9L-A2 is for

The Varta YB9L-A2 is a motorcycle starter battery: compact, vibration-resistant and with just the right power to turn the starter motor and feed the electronics. It is worth keeping the YB9L-A2 on a maintenance charger if the bike is laid up over winter.
At 9 Ah it covers mid-capacity motorcycles, large scooters and light quads. Varta lists the YB9L-A2 in its Powersports Freshpack line. [See all Varta batteries](https://bateriasonline.es/en/varta-batteries)

## Varta YB9L-A2 vs YB9L-B and YB7L-B

What sets the YB9L-A2 apart from its neighbours in the Varta range:

| Model | Capacity | Cold cranking (EN) | Dimensions (mm) | Positive | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Varta YB9L-A2 (this one) | 9 Ah | 130 A | 135 × 75 × 139 | right | 3.19 kg |
| Varta YB9L-B | 9 Ah | 85 A | 136 × 76 × 140 | right | 2.98 kg |
| Varta YB7L-B | 7 Ah | 74 A | 136 × 76 × 134 | right | 2.85 kg |

- Varta YB9L-B: the same capacity, 45 A less cranking power, the same dimensions.
- Varta YB7L-B: 2 Ah less, 56 A less cranking power, a different case (136 × 76 × 134 mm).

## Before ordering the YB9L-A2, check this

- The YB9L-A2 needs 135 × 75 × 139 mm of space: measure it with the hold-down clamp in place.
- Polarity of the YB9L-A2: positive terminal on the right (if yours has it on the other side, the cables will not reach).
- Your current battery should say about 9 Ah; a little more is also fine.
- Check the EN amps on your battery: if it says 130 A or less, the YB9L-A2 covers your engine.

## Frequently asked questions about the Varta YB9L-A2

### YB9L-A2 or YB9L-B: which one suits me?

Compared with the YB9L-A2, the Varta YB9L-B has 45 A less cranking power. The YB9L-A2 cranks harder; the YB9L-B is only a good option if your original battery says 85 A or less. Both measure 135 × 75 × 139 mm, so they fit the same tray.

### Is the Varta 509016013 the same battery as the Varta YB9L-A2?

Yes. 509016013 is the ETN code Varta uses for its YB9L-A2 battery, so you can search for it by either code.

3.19 kg, with 9 Ah of capacity. For reference, the Varta YB9L-B (9 Ah) weighs 2.98 kg.

### Which side is the positive terminal on the Varta YB9L-A2?

On the YB9L-A2, the positive terminal is on the right with the terminals facing you: compare it with your current battery, because with reversed polarity the cables will not reach.

### Which charger does the Varta YB9L-A2 need?

An automatic lead-acid charger with cut-off or maintenance mode, rated at 10 to 20% of its capacity in amps. If it is a vented type, check the electrolyte level and top up only with distilled water.

## What it means that the YB9L-A2 is lead-acid

The YB9L-A2 is a conventional lead-acid battery, with plates immersed in liquid electrolyte. In cars without energy management, the YB9L-A2 needs no special registration: just connect it.
