Inside the FA640: lead-acid technology

The FA640 is a conventional lead-acid battery, with plates immersed in liquid electrolyte. Avoid leaving them discharged, as they sulphate, and charge them with a charger that cuts off or switches to maintenance when finished.

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).
