Before ordering the FB740, check this
- Length, width and height of the FB740: 278 × 175 × 190 mm (European case size L3).
- Polarity of the FB740: positive terminal on the right (if yours has it on the other side, the cables will not reach).
- With 74 Ah, the FB740 replaces an original battery of that capacity or slightly less.
- Cold cranking: 680 A (EN), equal to or higher than the original.
- If your car has Start-Stop, the FB740 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
What it means that the FB740 is lead-acid
Inside, the FB740 is classic lead-acid: liquid electrolyte and lead plates. If the FB740 is left discharged for weeks it sulphates: a maintenance charger prevents this.
