  • If your car has Start-Stop, the FA612 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.

  • With 61 Ah, the FA612 replaces an original battery of that capacity or slightly less.
  • The FA612 has the positive terminal on the right: compare it with your current battery.
  • Length, width and height of the FA612: 242 × 175 × 175 mm (European case size LB2).
