YB16AL Battery Cross Reference
A YB16AL is a conventional (flooded, serviceable). It fits 31 powersports models in our data, and a lithium drop-in is made in the same case size.
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.

Frequently asked
What vehicles use a YB16AL battery?
A YB16AL fits 31 powersports models in our data, including the Ducati 851 Superbike, Ducati Biposto, Senna, Ducati Monoposto, Biposto, S, SPS. It is a conventional (flooded, serviceable).
Is there a lithium equivalent to the YB16AL?
Yes. LiFePO4 lithium drop-ins are made in the YB16AL case size, so they fit the same tray and terminals. They weigh far less and last longer, but need a lithium-aware charger.
What does the YB16AL code mean?
YB16AL is a standard powersports battery case-size code that fixes the physical fit, terminal layout, and capacity.
