Product Description
Whether you're firing up your Polaris Sportsman before a trail ride, starting a Honda generator before a storm, or getting your Can-Am Outlander ready for the season, the last thing you want is a battery that lets you down. The YTZ14S-BS AGM battery is built to deliver reliable starting power every time, with zero maintenance required.
What Is an AGM Battery?
AGM stands for Absorbed Glass Mat, a technology that suspends the battery's electrolyte inside a fiberglass mat rather than leaving it as free liquid. The result is a battery that's permanently sealed, completely spill-proof, and far more durable than old-style conventional batteries. There's no water to check, no acid to worry about, and no vents to manage. It's a straightforward upgrade over conventional flooded batteries in nearly every way.
Ready to Install Right Out of the Box
This battery ships fully charged and ready to install. There's no need to add electrolyte or top off the charge before fitting it to your vehicle. Just swap it in, connect the terminals, and go. Replacement bolts are included so you have everything you need in one package.
Built to Handle the Demands of Powersports
Powersports vehicles aren't known for smooth, stable environments. Rough trails, vibration, and temperature swings all take a toll on conventional batteries over time. The YTZ14S-BS is specifically designed with this in mind:
- Vibration resistance keeps internal components protected on rough terrain.
- Slower self-discharge means less worry during off-season storage compared to conventional batteries.
- AGM construction holds up better against heat and repeated charge cycles.
The sealed design also means the battery can be mounted in non-upright positions, which is useful in tight battery compartments.
Compatible with a Wide Range of Vehicles
The YTZ14S-BS is one of the most widely used powersports battery sizes on the market. It's a direct OEM replacement for many popular motorcycles, ATVs, and powersports applications, including models from Polaris, Honda, Can-Am, KTM, Yamaha, BMW, and more. Always verify dimensions and terminal orientation before ordering to confirm fitment for your specific application.

Specifications may vary slightly by brand. Please verify dimensions and terminal configuration before purchase to ensure this is the correct battery for your application.
Off-Season Storage
Even with a slower self-discharge rate than conventional batteries, AGM batteries benefit from being kept on a maintenance charger during long storage periods. We recommend pairing this battery with a quality smart charger to keep it in peak condition over the winter or any extended period of non-use.
Frequently Asked Questions
What vehicles does the YTZ14S-BS fit?
The YTZ14S-BS is a widely used powersports battery size compatible with many motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, and powersports equipment. Common applications include the Polaris Sportsman, Can-Am Outlander, Honda generators, and various models from KTM, Yamaha, and BMW. Always check your owner's manual or compare the dimensions and terminal layout against your current battery to confirm a proper fit before ordering.
Does this battery come charged and ready to install?
Yes. The YTZ14S-BS ships fully charged and ready to install. There's no need to add electrolyte or connect a charger before installation. Just swap it in and go.
Do I need to do any maintenance on this battery?
No. The YTZ14S-BS is a sealed, maintenance-free AGM battery. There's no fluid to check or add, no vents to manage, and no periodic upkeep required during normal use. The only recommended care is connecting it to a smart maintenance charger if the vehicle will be sitting unused for an extended period.
Can this battery be mounted on its side?
Yes. Because the YTZ14S-BS uses sealed AGM technology rather than free liquid electrolyte, it can be safely installed in non-upright positions without any risk of leakage or spillage. This makes it a good fit for tight or unconventional battery compartments.
How does an AGM battery compare to a conventional motorcycle battery?
AGM batteries offer several advantages over conventional flooded batteries. They're permanently sealed, so there's no risk of acid spills. They handle vibration better, recharge faster, discharge more slowly when not in use, and generally hold up better under the demands of powersports riding. For most riders, an AGM battery is a straightforward upgrade over the conventional battery it replaces.
What are the dimensions of the YTZ14S-BS?
The YTZ14S-BS measures approximately 5.9 inches long by 3.4 inches wide by 4.3 inches tall. Exact dimensions can vary slightly depending on the brand. We recommend measuring your current battery or consulting your vehicle's manual to confirm fit before purchasing. The positive terminal is on the left and the negative terminal is on the right.
Can I use the YTZ14S-BS as a replacement for a YTZ12S battery?
In many cases, yes. The YTZ14S and YTZ12S share the same physical dimensions, so the YTZ14S-BS will typically drop right in as a replacement. The YTZ14S generally offers higher cold cranking amps, which means stronger starting power. It's a popular upgrade for riders looking for a more capable battery in the same footprint. Always verify your vehicle's specifications before swapping battery sizes.
Cross Reference & Compatibility
Customer Reviews
I haven't installed the battery in my Honda generator yet. There has been too much snow in CT to get to my shed and I'm presently writing this in the middle of a blizzard. However, batterymart's customer service is top notch; they delivered it quickly and the battery looks great.I have full faith it will be fine.
Purchased to fit in place of a ytx 9bs since this battery is only about a quarter inch taller but it has way more power and capacity.
I use this battery as a test to replace a ytx 9bs as it's the same size but about a quarter inch taller with roughly double the cranking amps and 50% more capacity. It came charged out of the box, I put it in my four-wheeler and it definitely cranked over faster. Only had it on about a week now but I've started a few times and have had no issues. I'll give it a couple weeks here in the cold weather to test better but I'll probably be purchasing a few more to replace my other batteries
Easy to use ordering, easy product search, outstanding service and shipping, will buy from here again
Bought this battery to replace the failed YUASA that was original to my 2-year old Honda generator. That battery wouldn't even take a charge any more. This YTZ14S was the perfect replacement and arrived fully charged. I opted for the 2-amp battery charger along with it and now I know my generator will be starting every time. Great battery, great company, fast shipping and price was very fair. Very happy with my purchase.
The first Battery Mart AGM battery I bought was still starting my Honda 919 when I sold the bike eight years after installing the battery. With that kind of performance, I always replace the OEM batteries with AGM batteries from Battery Mart. They last much longer than other batteries I've used. I trust them.
Works as expected, no problems
