Marine battery Fullriver DC160-8A DC 160Ah 8V
With 160 Ah at 8 V, the Fullriver DC160-8A from the DC range is built for motor and sailing boats, both for engine starting and onboard services. Measuring 260 × 182 × 272 mm, it is the direct replacement for boats fitted from the factory with a 160 Ah battery of this format.
- Sealed: no spills or gases in the locker.
- Resistant to humidity and salt air.
- AGM: faster recharging and better cycle resistance than a conventional battery.
- Ready for starting outboard and inboard engines.
Size, terminals and hold-down of the Fullriver DC160-8A
The Fullriver DC160-8A is made in the 260 × 182 × 272 mm format and weighs 32 kg. It uses M8 terminals, the system that anchors and connects it in the vehicle. Checking the three dimensions and the terminal position before buying avoids the most common mistake when replacing a battery.
What the Fullriver DC160-8A is for
With 160 Ah, the Fullriver DC160-8A covers motor and sailing boats, both for engine starting and onboard services. At the end of the season, charge it fully before winter storage. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 32 kg and M8 terminals.
The Fullriver DC160-8A: DC range and AGM technology
The DC is the Fullriver range the DC160-8A belongs to: it shares the same construction and quality criteria with the rest of the series, and varies in capacity and format to suit each vehicle.
In an AGM battery the electrolyte is absorbed in glass-fibre separators: there is no free liquid, it cannot spill and it can be mounted at an angle. That construction lowers internal resistance, speeds up recharging and multiplies cycle life compared with a conventional battery.
What Fullriver does differently
With its own plants and a catalogue focused on high-performance AGM, Fullriver is a familiar brand in power wheelchairs, boats and photovoltaic systems that need thousands of cycles. We guarantee that every Fullriver arrives new, charged and with the manufacturer's full warranty.
Manufacturer's warranty
The Fullriver DC160-8A comes with the manufacturer's official warranty against manufacturing defects. Deep discharge from winter lay-up without charging is not covered.
How to make it last longer
As a service battery, avoid routine discharges below 50% to extend its cycle life. Charge with a charger that has an AGM mode: it limits the voltage and protects the glass-fibre separators.
When you get it and how to return it
Same-day dispatch from our warehouse for in-stock orders placed before 6:00 pm: 24-48 working hours in mainland Spain and Portugal, 3 to 5 days in the islands and the rest of Europe. Returns are accepted for 14 days if the battery has not been used (free collection on the Iberian mainland). You will receive tracking by email.

Frequently asked questions
Is the DC160-8A model AGM? What does this technology offer?
Yes. The DC160-8A from Fullriver uses AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology: a sealed lead-acid battery where the electrolyte is absorbed in a glass-fibre mat. It withstands more charge/discharge cycles than a conventional one, handles heat better and is the required technology for boats with advanced Start-Stop and regenerative braking. Expected lifespan: 5-8 years under normal conditions.
How do I change this battery step by step?
In most boats it fits in 15-30 minutes with a 10 mm wrench; if the battery is under the seat or in the boot the time can double. See the step-by-step guide on our blog. Quick summary: 1) switch off the engine and remove the key; 2) locate the original battery (engine bay, boot or under seat); 3) disconnect the negative (−) terminal first, then the positive (+); 4) loosen the hold-down clamp and remove the old battery; 5) fit the new one in the same orientation — match the polarity shown on the product sheet; 6) connect the positive (+) first, then the negative (−). On boats with Start-Stop or BMS, register the battery via OBD so the alternator applies the correct charging profile.
What is the service life of the DC160-8A model?
Expected lifespan of the Fullriver DC160-8A is 5 to 8 years in mild-climate boat use with Start-Stop. In cold regions it drops slightly due to cold-start stress; in very hot regions it also drops because of electrolyte evaporation. To extend its life: avoid deep discharges (headlights on with engine off), have the alternator checked yearly, and keep the battery clean and properly secured.
What are the dimensions of the Fullriver DC160-8A battery?
Dimensions (length × width × height) are 260×182×272 mm — also written as 260x182x272 mm — following the European DIN standard. Always measure the space in your boat before buying: even one extra millimetre can prevent the hold-down clamp from closing. The height shown includes the terminals.
Will the Fullriver DC160-8A battery fit my boat?
Three options to confirm: 1) enter your number plate in the finder (DGT/DVLA/KBA auto-detect your model and engine); 2) check the "Compatible vehicles" tab on this page, where we list every vehicle verified by our technical team; 3) if you cannot find your model, message us on WhatsApp with brand, model, engine and year — we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:40–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). The DC160-8A typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format.
What are the equivalents of the DC160-8A model?
Directly interchangeable batteries (same dimensions, same polarity, same Ah and CCA) are the OEM equivalents from leading brands: Bosch, Tudor, Exide and, depending on the model, Banner or Yuasa. Exact equivalence depends on technology — an EFB cannot be replaced with a conventional battery in Start-Stop boats. See the "Equivalents" section to view recommended options at the same performance level.
