Metra SK-BTX9-BS AGM Battery 125 CCA Crank Amps For Boat/ATV/UTV/Cart/Motorcycle

The SK-BTX9-BS is a 12V AGM starting battery rated at 125 crank amps and 8 amp hours, built to replace the OE battery in JIS BTX9-BS applications. It ships factory activated, so it comes out of the box ready to install with no acid filling or first-charge routine.

AGM construction is the reason this battery suits powersports use. The electrolyte is held in absorbed glass mat separators rather than sitting free in the case, so the battery tolerates the vibration of a trail ride or a rough launch and is not fussy about mounting orientation. It is also maintenance free: no water levels to check, no vent tubes to route, no topping off between seasons.

The 125 crank amps handle cold starts on single and twin cylinder engines, and the 8 amp hour capacity leaves margin for accessories that pull current with the engine off, like LED work lights, a radio, or a GPS unit.

Fitment covers motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs and side-by-sides, golf carts, and boats. It replaces the original battery in a range of Kawasaki and Suzuki models along with other machines that specify the BTX9-BS case, so check the fitment chart for your exact model and year. At 5.88" x 3.44" x 4.13" and 6.8 lb, it drops into the stock battery tray in most of those applications. For seasonal machines, a maintainer over the off months keeps it at full charge and ready for the first ride of spring.
