Where the Fulmen FC700 fits
The Fulmen FC700 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. The FC700 covers the daily routine of a car without automatic engine stop: cold starts, short trips and loads with the ignition off.
At 70 Ah it is the usual size for compact diesels and mid-size petrol saloons. The FC700 belongs to the Fulmen FULMEN Standard range. See all Fulmen batteries

Before ordering the FC700, check this
- Length, width and height of the FC700: 278 × 175 × 190 mm (European case size L3).
- Polarity of the FC700: positive terminal on the right (if yours has it on the other side, the cables will not reach).
- Capacity of the FC700: 70 Ah; the same as your current battery or slightly more is fine.
- The FC700 delivers 640 A cold cranking (EN standard); do not go below what your original battery states.
- If your car has Start-Stop, the FC700 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
Lead-acid technology in the FC700
The FC700 is a conventional lead-acid battery, with plates immersed in liquid electrolyte. In cars without energy management, the FC700 needs no special registration: just connect it.
Frequently asked questions about the Fulmen FC700
FC700 or FK700: which one suits me?
Compared with the FC700, the Fulmen FK700 has 120 A more cranking power and AGM technology. If your current battery says 760 A or more, choose the FK700; if it says 640 A or less, the FC700 is enough. Both measure 278 × 175 × 190 mm, so they fit the same tray.
Fulmen FC700 or FB712: what changes?
Mainly the height: the FC700 is 190 mm tall (L3) and the Fulmen FB712 175 mm (LB3), with the same length and width. In capacity and cranking power, the FB712 offers 71 Ah and 670 A against 70 Ah and 640 A. Before choosing between the FC700 and the FB712, measure the free height of the battery compartment with the cover or bonnet closed.
Can the Fulmen FC700 be used in a car with Start-Stop?

16 kg, with 70 Ah of capacity. For reference, the Fulmen FK700 (70 Ah) weighs 20.6 kg.
