The Kawasaki Bayou 400 takes the ATX12 case. The Antigravity ATX12-HD RE-START is a drop-in for that case: 480 cranking amps, 3 lb, a built-in jump start that saves enough charge to get you home. Antigravity's list names the ATX12 for this model; Yuasa's guide names the YTX20HL-BS-PW case for some trims. Go by the code on your old battery.

What the Bayou 400 needs, in plain English

Every Bayou 400 from the first 1993 model through 2000 starts on the ATX12 case, a 12-volt starter battery. Kawasaki ships it with a lead-acid battery that starts to fade after two or three seasons of short rides and off-season storage, and that is usually the day a rider goes looking for something better.

The lithium drop-in is the Antigravity ATX12-HD RE-START: 480 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. Antigravity's list names the ATX12 for this model; Yuasa's guide names the YTX20HL-BS-PW case for some trims. Go by the code on your old battery. 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 Kawasaki Bayou 400 take?+
The ATX12 case, the same one on every Bayou 400 from 1993 to 2000. The Antigravity ATX12-HD RE-START is the lithium drop-in for it. Antigravity's list names the ATX12 for this model; Yuasa's guide names the YTX20HL-BS-PW case for some trims. Go by the code on your old battery.
Will a lithium battery work in a Bayou 400 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.
