## Description

## 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](https://bateriasonline.es/en/fulmen-batteries)

## Fulmen FC700 vs FK700, FB712 and FL700: differences

What sets the FC700 apart from its neighbours in the Fulmen range:

| Model | Capacity | Cold cranking (EN) | Dimensions (mm) | Positive | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fulmen FC700 (this one) | 70 Ah | 640 A | 278 × 175 × 190 | right | 16 kg |
| Fulmen FK700 | 70 Ah | 760 A | 278 × 175 × 190 | right | 20.6 kg |
| Fulmen FB712 | 71 Ah | 670 A | 278 × 175 × 175 | right | 15.3 kg |
| Fulmen FL700 | 70 Ah | 760 A | 278 × 175 × 190 | right | 19.3 kg |

- Fulmen FK700: the same capacity, 120 A more cranking power, the same L3 case, AGM technology.
- Fulmen FB712: 1 Ah more, 30 A more cranking power, a different height (175 mm instead of 190 mm, LB3). It is the option if your battery tray cannot take the 190 mm height of the FC700.
- Fulmen FL700: the same capacity, 120 A more cranking power, the same L3 case, EFB technology.

## 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?

### How much does the Fulmen FC700 weigh?

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

### Which battery is equivalent to the Fulmen FC700?

With the same dimensions, polarity and similar capacity you have the Exide EC700, Varta E13 and Kronobat SD-70.0. As the FC700 is a conventional battery, an EFB or AGM of the same size also works. Its Bosch equivalent is the Bosch S3 008, the same as for the Varta E13. Bosch is not part of our catalogue; we list it so you can compare.
