Where the Fulmen FA456 fits
The Fulmen FA456 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 FA456 covers the daily routine of a car without automatic engine stop: cold starts, short trips and loads with the ignition off.
At 45 Ah it is a small size: the usual choice for petrol superminis and city cars with little equipment. The FA456 belongs to the Fulmen FULMEN Formula Xtreme range. More Fulmen batteries
