The Yuasa GYZ16H is a sealed AGM replacement battery for the Honda Pioneer 1000, Pioneer 700 and Pioneer 500. If your Pioneer cranks slowly, will not start after sitting, or loses voltage when running lights and a winch, this battery restores dependable starting power. It ships factory activated, so there is no acid to add.
Yuasa's GYZ series uses AGM separators with grid designs made for extreme vibration resistance, which suits a work-and-trail machine like the Pioneer. The WPS chart lists the GYZ16H as the Pioneer's sealed AGM fit, including as a premium upgrade for models that came with a YTX14-BS.

FAQ
What battery does the Honda Pioneer 1000 use?
The WPS application chart lists the Yuasa GYZ16H for the 2016-2024 Honda Pioneer 1000 and 1000-5. This is that battery.
Why does my Honda Pioneer battery keep dying?
A worn battery is the most common cause of slow cranking and no-starts, especially on machines that sit between uses or run winches, lights and heaters. Replacing it with the correct size and keeping it on a maintainer between uses solves most repeat failures.
Will this battery fit a Pioneer 700?
Yes. WPS lists the GYZ16H for the 2014-2024 Pioneer 700 and 700-4.
Does it fit the Pioneer 500 and 520?
WPS lists it for the 2015-2020 Pioneer 500 and the 2022 Pioneer 520. On 2019-2020 Pioneer 500 models it is listed as a sealed AGM upgrade over the YTX14-BS.
Do I need to add acid before installing?
No. The GYZ16H is supplied factory activated and sealed, so it is non-spillable and ready to install. Checking voltage before installation is a good habit for any battery that has been on a shelf.
Is the GYZ16H better than a standard YTX14-BS?
The GYZ16H is Yuasa's high-performance sealed AGM option, built with vibration-resistant grids and more active material. A standard YTX14-BS is a lower-cost maintenance-free battery. If you want the sealed, factory-activated option, choose the GYZ16H.

Complete Your Honda Pioneer Battery Setup
Confirm your Pioneer model and year in the Fitment section, then add a battery maintainer to keep it charged between uses. If you run a winch, plow or heater, a jump starter in the cab is cheap insurance.
