Agm Battery For 851

Discussion in 'Ducati General Discussion' started by VanVan, Jan 22, 2023.

  1. Hi all, need some advice please whether I could replace my current 'wet' battery on my 851 (1990 model) with an AGM type.

    The AGM battery I would like to fit is a Motobatt MB16 AU, 12 V 20.5Ah, see here:

    The wet battery I currently have on the bike is Lucas YB16AL-A2.

    Safe to do so? Dimensions match from what I can see on the specs.

    Thanks.
     
  2. Without any problem, been using them for years just put one in my 40 year old BMW.
