YB9L Battery Cross Reference
A YB9L is a conventional (flooded, serviceable). It fits 16 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 YB9L battery?
A YB9L fits 16 powersports models in our data, including the Honda CA72 Dream Touring (Late), Honda CA77 Dream Touring (Late), Honda CB72 Hawk. It is a conventional (flooded, serviceable).
Is there a lithium equivalent to the YB9L?
Yes. LiFePO4 lithium drop-ins are made in the YB9L 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 YB9L code mean?
YB9L is a standard powersports battery case-size code that fixes the physical fit, terminal layout, and capacity.
