Powers the fridge, interior lighting, water pump and sockets while parked, with no need for campsite mains. Withstands daily discharges throughout the season. ### Why this caravan battery? - **Real off-grid autonomy** no campsite hookup needed - **Lasts the whole season** handles daily discharges without capacity loss - **Powers it all at once** fridge, water pump, LED and USB without issues πŸ”Œ Voltage 12 V ⚑ Capacity 162 Ah C20 πŸ“ Dimensions 483Γ—170Γ—239 mm βš™οΈ Technology AGM 🧭 Polarity Positive on the left ## Description ## Leisure battery Fulbat FDC12-180 162Ah 12V 12*V* Voltage 162*Ah* Capacity The **Fulbat FDC12-180** with AGM technology stores **162 Ah** at **12 V**: autonomy for motorhomes, caravans and campers that need power off-grid. Its 483 Γ— 170 Γ— 238 mm and the positive terminal on the left make it the exact replacement for the 162 Ah battery fitted as standard to many motorhomes and caravans. - Withstands daily discharges throughout the season. - AGM: faster recharging and better cycle resistance than a conventional battery. - Direct replacement for the original leisure battery. - Recharges from the alternator, a solar panel or a mains charger. ### Dimensions, polarity and mounting It has external dimensions of 483 Γ— 170 Γ— 238 mm. The positive terminal on the left decides which side the cables end up on: it is the detail that causes most buying mistakes, so check it before ordering. It uses BOLT-M6 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 Fulbat FDC12-180 is for The Fulbat FDC12-180 is designed for motorhomes, caravans and campers that need power off-grid: it powers fridge, lights, pump and chargers for several days off-grid. Its 162 Ah capacity sets the available autonomy. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has BOLT-M6 terminals. ### Technology inside the Fulbat FDC12-180 The FDC12-180 is one of the Fulbat references for this type of use; it shares the same manufacturing and quality-control criteria as the rest of the brand's catalogue. 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. ### Fulbat: the maker behind the FDC12-180 Fulbat has manufactured in France since 1978 and specialises in motorcycles and light vehicles. Its catalogue is short and clear, covers almost the whole fleet and works only with sealed, leak-free batteries. At baterias.com we work directly with the manufacturer or its official distributor: real stock, brand-new product and official warranty. ### Warranty and coverage The Fulbat FDC12-180 comes with the **manufacturer's official warranty** against manufacturing defects. Avoid repeated full discharges: they shorten its life and are not covered. ### Care and maintenance Charge with a charger that has an AGM mode: it limits the voltage and protects the glass-fibre separators. During months of storage, keep it charged with a mains charger or a small solar panel; a battery left discharged for weeks loses capacity permanently. ### When you get it and how to return it Order **before [[ks:cutoff]]** with stock available and it leaves today: mainland Spain and Portugal receive it in 24-48 working hours, the islands and the rest of the EU in 3 to 5 days. You have **[[ks:return_days]] days** to return it if it has not been installed, with free collection on the mainland, and shipment tracking by email. ## Frequently asked questions ### How is the Fulbat FDC12-180 AGM battery installed in the vehicle? In most caravans 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 this page. 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 (βˆ’) 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 β€” match the polarity shown on the product sheet; 6) connect the positive (+) first, then the negative (βˆ’). On caravans with Start-Stop or BMS, register the battery via OBD so the alternator applies the correct charging profile. ### How long does the Fulbat FDC12-180 AGM battery last? Expected lifespan of the Fulbat FDC12-180 AGM is 4 to 7 years in regular use (depends on technology and climate). 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 measurements of the FDC12-180 AGM model? Dimensions (length Γ— width Γ— height) are 483Γ—170Γ—239 mm β€” also written as 483x170x239 mm β€” following the European DIN standard. Always measure the space in your caravan before buying: even one extra millimetre can prevent the hold-down clamp from closing. The height shown includes the terminals. ### Will the Fulbat FDC12-180 AGM battery fit my caravan? 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 β€” we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:40–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). The FDC12-180 AGM typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format. ### Which batteries are equivalent to the Fulbat FDC12-180 AGM? 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 β€” an EFB cannot be replaced with a conventional battery in Start-Stop caravans. See the "Equivalents" section to view recommended options at the same performance level. ## Technical team (editorial authorship) The FAQs, guides and comparisons on this site are reviewed by the baterias.com technical team β€” over 25 years of experience validating automotive batteries. β†’ https://baterias.com/gb/technical-team --- *baterias.com β€” Automotive batteries Β· 2026-09-29*
