FAQ
What battery does a John Deere Gator use?
The WPS application chart lists the YB16CL-B size for John Deere Gator models. This is the Yuasa YB16CL-B.
Does this battery come with acid?
No. This is a conventional battery and the acid pack must be purchased separately. If you want a battery that arrives filled, look at the Fire Power CTX16CL-B factory-activated version.
Does it fit the Gator XUV?

Why does my Gator battery keep going dead?
Utility vehicles often sit between jobs, and conventional batteries lose charge in storage. Keep the battery topped up with a maintainer and check electrolyte levels as part of routine service.
Why Yuasa
Yuasa is one of the best-known names in powersports batteries and supplies original equipment batteries to many vehicle manufacturers. Its lineup covers conventional, maintenance-free and high-performance AGM batteries for ATVs, UTVs and motorcycles.
