## 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.

### How long does a car battery like the Fulmen FA530 last?

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.
