What to look at before buying the FA640
- If your car has Start-Stop, the FA640 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
- Check the EN amps on your battery: if it says 640 A or less, the FA640 covers your engine.
- Capacity of the FA640: 64 Ah; the same as your current battery or slightly more is fine.
- With the terminals facing you, the positive terminal of the FA640 is on the right.
- Length, width and height of the FA640: 242 × 175 × 190 mm (European case size L2).
