Check this before ordering the Fulmen FA530
- Length, width and height of the FA530: 207 × 175 × 190 mm (European case size L1).
- Polarity of the FA530: positive terminal on the right (if yours has it on the other side, the cables will not reach).
- With 53 Ah, the FA530 replaces an original battery of that capacity or slightly less.
- Check the EN amps on your battery: if it says 540 A or less, the FA530 covers your engine.
- If your car has Start-Stop, the FA530 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
Lead-acid technology in the FA530
Inside, the FA530 is classic lead-acid: liquid electrolyte and lead plates. It is a robust, well-known technology with a good capacity-to-price ratio, and still the basis of most cars, trucks and traction equipment.
Frequently asked questions about the Fulmen FA530
FA530 or FB500: which one suits me?
Compared with the FA530, the Fulmen FB500 has 3 Ah less and 90 A less cranking power. The FA530 cranks harder; the FB500 is only a good option if your original battery says 450 A or less. Both measure 207 × 175 × 190 mm, so they fit the same tray.
Can the Fulmen FA530 be used in a car with Start-Stop?
No. The FA530 is a lead-acid battery for cars without automatic engine stop; Start-Stop needs an EFB or an AGM; in this same size there is the Exide EL550.
How much does the Fulmen FA530 weigh?
12.7 kg, with 53 Ah of capacity. For reference, the Fulmen FB500 (50 Ah) weighs 12.1 kg.
Which battery is equivalent to the Fulmen FA530?
With the same dimensions, polarity and similar capacity you have the Exide EA530, Tudor TA530 and Deta DA530. As the FA530 is a conventional battery, an EFB or AGM of the same size also works.
What case size is the Fulmen FA530?
Case size L1: 207 × 175 × 190 mm. The FA530 fits any standard L1 battery tray such as the Exide EA530.
Which side is the positive terminal on the Fulmen FA530?
On the FA530, the positive terminal is on the right with the terminals facing you: compare it with your current battery, because with reversed polarity the cables will not reach.

Between 4 and 6 years in normal use. Very short trips, extreme heat and leaving the car parked for weeks without starting it shorten its life.
