The Fulmen FC400 at a glance
The Fulmen FC400 is a starter battery for cars without Start-Stop: it delivers the current the starter motor needs and then powers lights, control units and audio with the engine off. Its job is to start the engine in the cold with margin to spare and keep the car's electronics powered.
At 40 Ah it is a small size: the usual choice for petrol superminis and city cars with little equipment. The FC400 belongs to the Fulmen FULMEN Standard range. More Fulmen batteries

Check this before ordering the Fulmen FC400
- If your car has Start-Stop, the FC400 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
- Check the EN amps on your battery: if it says 320 A or less, the FC400 covers your engine.
- With 40 Ah, the FC400 replaces an original battery of that capacity or slightly less.
- With the terminals facing you, the positive terminal of the FC400 is on the right.
- The FC400 needs 175 × 175 × 190 mm of space (European case size L0): measure it with the hold-down clamp in place.
