The KTM 390 Duke (2013-2025 models) ships with a Yuasa YTX9-BS, a 12V/8Ah AGM battery — the OEM spec, also sold as the TZ9 family across Indian aftermarket brands. The 390 Duke is overwhelmingly an India/international market, so pricing and brand availability below are for the Indian aftermarket, where Exide, Amaron, SF Sonic, Livfast, Livguard, and Powerzone all sell a TZ9-spec replacement.

  • 12V 8Ah
  • Sealed maintenance-free

Pick 04 of 07

SF Sonic F2W0-48S-TZ9 (9Ah)

A budget TZ9-spec option with a straightforward MRP and 24+24 month warranty structure.

Livguard’s TZ9-spec battery, built with vibration-resistant construction aimed at supporting fuel injection and LED electronics.

  • 12V 8Ah
  • Vibration-resistant construction

Livfast’s DuroMoto-series TZ9 battery, sold in both 8Ah and 9Ah capacity variants for the 390 Duke.

  • 8-9Ah depending on variant
  • 24+24 month warranty
Pros

  • Two capacity options let you match closer to stock (8Ah) or step up slightly (9Ah)
Cons

  • Pricing between the 8Ah and 9Ah variants isn’t always clearly distinguished by sellers — confirm which you’re ordering
Price: ₹2,200-₹2,600

Buying tips

  • The OEM battery is a Yuasa YTX9-BS, sold in India through KTM-specific aftermarket importers rather than mainstream battery retailers — it’s genuine and well-regarded on KTM owner forums, but harder to source locally than the Indian brands above.
  • TZ9 is the common Indian battery-industry code equivalent to YTX9-BS — Exide, Amaron, SF Sonic, Livguard, and Livfast all badge their 390 Duke battery under some variant of “TZ9,” so match the code, not just the brand name, to your bike’s original spec.
  • Compare exchange vs. no-exchange pricing carefully — several brands here show a gap of ₹200-400 depending on whether you trade in your old battery.
