Bombardier-Sea-Doo 1500cc GTI Battery
The Bombardier-Sea-Doo 1500cc GTI takes a YB30CL-B battery, about 400 CCA and 30 Ah. It is a conventional (flooded, serviceable), and a lithium drop-in fits the same case.
Key takeaways
- Battery: YB30CL-B.
- Conventional (flooded, serviceable), around 400 CCA, 30 Ah.
- Lithium drop-in fits the same YB30CL-B case - lighter, longer-lived, needs a lithium charger.
- Covers 1994-2009 (battery changed across years - see table).
- Chemistry (OEM)
- Conventional (flooded, serviceable)
- Cold cranking amps (CCA)
- 400
- Capacity
- 30 Ah
- Fits model years
- 2007-2009
The Bombardier-Sea-Doo 1500cc GTI uses a YB30CL-B - conventional (flooded, serviceable). Around 400 CCA of cold-start current. Meeting or beating the OEM rating is fine; going under it can cause hard starts in the cold. About 30 Ah of capacity - the reserve that runs lights and electronics with the engine off.
AGM is the safe like-for-like: cheapest, tolerant of standard chargers and trickle tenders, and heavier. Lithium (LiFePO4) drop-ins in the same case size cut weight by roughly 60-70%, hold voltage better, and self-discharge far slower - but they cost more and need a lithium-aware charger, not an old lead-acid trickle charger.

Installing it
Disconnect the negative (-) terminal first and reconnect it last. Powersports batteries are small and light, so this is usually a 10-15 minute job with a couple of hand tools.
Frequently asked
What battery does a Bombardier-Sea-Doo 1500cc GTI take?
The Bombardier-Sea-Doo 1500cc GTI takes a YB30CL-B battery, a conventional (flooded, serviceable) rated around 400 CCA and 30 Ah.
Is the YB30CL-B an AGM or lithium battery?
Conventional (flooded, serviceable). You can also fit a LiFePO4 lithium drop-in in the same YB30CL-B case size for less weight and longer life - just use a lithium-aware charger.
How many cold cranking amps (CCA) does it need?
Around 400 CCA of cold-start current. Meeting or beating the OEM rating is fine; going under it can cause hard starts in the cold.
Can I put a lithium battery in a Bombardier-Sea-Doo 1500cc GTI?
Yes. Lithium (LiFePO4) drop-ins are made in the same YB30CL-B case size, so they fit the tray and terminals. They weigh far less and last longer, but need a lithium-compatible charger rather than an old lead-acid trickle charger.
How do I change the battery on a Bombardier-Sea-Doo 1500cc GTI?
Disconnect the negative (-) terminal first and reconnect it last. Powersports batteries are small and light, so this is usually a 10-15 minute job with a couple of hand tools.
