The Honda Recon 250 takes the YTX12-BS case. The Antigravity ATX12 RE-START is a drop-in for that case: 360 cranking amps, 3 lb, a built-in jump start that saves enough charge to get you home.

Why the year matters on this one

The Recon 250 is an ATV where the battery changed mid-run: 2000 takes the YTX12-BS, 2001 the ATZ10, 2002 to 2003 the YTX12-BS, 2004 to 2020 the ATX12 and 2021 to 2026 the YTX12-BS. The plate above names the source for each year, and the table shows every run we have on file, so match the year to the case before you order.

For 2021 to 2026 that means the Antigravity ATX12 RE-START: 360 cranking amps, 3 pounds, the same case in lithium. Its RE-START function puts the battery to sleep before a parasitic draw can drain it, then wakes it with one press for a jump start. Charge it with a lithium-compatible charger or maintainer for the off-season and it outlasts the lead-acid battery it replaces by years.

What size battery does a Honda Recon 250 take?+
It depends on the year: 2000 takes the YTX12-BS, 2001 the ATZ10, 2002 to 2003 the YTX12-BS, 2004 to 2020 the ATX12 and 2021 to 2026 the YTX12-BS. For 2021 to 2026 that is the Antigravity ATX12 RE-START, the lithium drop-in for the YTX12-BS case. The table above shows every run we have on file, so match your year to the case before you order.
Will a lithium battery work in a Recon 250 without changes?+
Yes, on a machine with a healthy charging system: the lithium battery uses the same case, the same posts and the same cables, and it drops in where the lead-acid battery sat. Check that the stator and regulator hold a steady charge, fill any gap in the tray with the foam spacers most lithium ATV batteries include, and match the terminal layout of the battery you are replacing.
Do I need a different charger for a lithium ATV battery?+
Use a charger or maintainer with a lithium (LiFePO4) mode. A lead-acid trickle charger can push the wrong voltage profile, and a desulfation mode can damage a lithium pack. A lithium-profile maintainer over the off-season keeps it topped without harm, and the battery loses only a few percent of charge a month sitting on its own.
