Where the Fulmen FA406 fits
The Fulmen FA406 is a starter battery for cars without Start-Stop: it delivers the current the starter motor needs and then powers lights, control units and audio with the engine off. The FA406 covers the daily routine of a car without automatic engine stop: cold starts, short trips and loads with the ignition off.
At 40 Ah it is a small size: the usual choice for petrol superminis and city cars with little equipment. The FA406 belongs to the Fulmen FULMEN Formula Xtreme range. More Fulmen batteries

Before ordering the FA406, check this
- If your car has Start-Stop, the FA406 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
- Check the EN amps on your battery: if it says 350 A or less, the FA406 covers your engine.
- Capacity of the FA406: 40 Ah; the same as your current battery or slightly more is fine.
- Polarity of the FA406: positive terminal on the right (if yours has it on the other side, the cables will not reach).
- The FA406 needs 187 × 127 × 220 mm of space: measure it with the hold-down clamp in place.
