Fire Power John Deere Gator Battery CB16CL-B w/ Acid (2005-2016)

The Fire Power CB16CL-B is a heavy-duty 12V conventional battery for John Deere Gator utility vehicles and older Kawasaki Mule models, and it ships with a pre-measured acid pack. It is the most affordable YB16CL-B-size option we carry, and it meets or exceeds OEM specifications.

Dry-charged plates give it an almost unlimited shelf life before you fill it, so it also works well as a spare kept on the shop shelf. Anti-sulfate treatment helps it last longer in service.

FAQ

Is there a cheaper battery for a John Deere Gator?

The Fire Power CB16CL-B is the lowest-cost YB16CL-B-size battery we carry for the Gator, and it includes the acid pack.

Does it come with acid?

Yes. A pre-measured acid pack is included. Fill the battery and charge it fully before installing.

Does it fit the Gator XUV?

Yes. WPS lists this battery size for the Gator XUV 550, 560, 590i, 620i, 625i, 825i, 850 and 855D, along with the HPX, RSX, CX, TS, TX and TH models.

Will it fit an older Kawasaki Mule?

WPS lists the YB16CL-B size for the Mule 1000, Mule 2010, 2020 and 2030, and Mule 2500, 2510 and 2520. It does not fit the Mule 3000-series, 4000-series, Pro or SX models.

Why does the warranty mention pre-servicing?

Fire Power's 1-year warranty applies when the battery is properly filled and charged before installation. Follow the fill and charge steps before you put it in service.

Should I choose this or a sealed battery?

This conventional battery costs less and stores well unfilled. The Fire Power CTX16CL-B is sealed and arrives filled and pre-charged. Choose based on budget and whether you want to handle acid.
