What it means that the FB457 is lead-acid

Inside, the FB457 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.

Before ordering the FB457, check this

  • If your car has Start-Stop, the FB457 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
  • Check the EN amps on your battery: if it says 330 A or less, the FB457 covers your engine.
  • With 45 Ah, the FB457 replaces an original battery of that capacity or slightly less.
  • With the terminals facing you, the positive terminal of the FB457 is on the left.
  • The FB457 needs 237 × 127 × 227 mm of space (European case size B24): measure it with the hold-down clamp in place.
