Tolerates the typical daily cycles on a boat (engine start + night-time services such as lights, sonar, fridge) and holds voltage even when the hull is rolling in open sea. ### Why this marine battery? - **Marine design** built for boat swell and vibration - **Dual function** starts the engine and powers onboard services - **Sealed and safe** maintenance-free even when the boat rolls πŸ”Œ Voltage 8 V ⚑ Capacity 160 Ah C20 πŸ“ Dimensions 260Γ—182Γ—288 mm βš™οΈ Technology AGM βš–οΈ Weight 32 kg 🏷️ Model DC Series ## Description ## Marine battery Fullriver DC160-8B DC 160Ah 8V 8*V* Voltage 160*Ah* Capacity 32*kg* Weight The **Fullriver DC160-8B** with AGM technology is a marine battery with **160 Ah** for motor and sailing boats, both for engine starting and onboard services. It replaces the original battery without adaptation in boats with a 260 Γ— 182 Γ— 288 mm format: same 160 Ah capacity. - Powers onboard services: lights, sounder, GPS, fridge. - Tolerates the daily cycling of a boat in season. - AGM technology: absorbed electrolyte, no spills, can be mounted at an angle. - Reinforced case against vibration and swell. ### Will it fit your current battery tray? In terms of format, the Fullriver DC160-8B measures 260 Γ— 182 Γ— 288 mm (length Γ— width Γ— height) and weighs 32 kg. It uses M8 terminals, the system that anchors and connects it in the vehicle. Before replacing it, measure your current battery tray: if all three dimensions and the terminal positions match, the swap is direct and needs no adapters. ### What the Fullriver DC160-8B is for The Fullriver DC160-8B is designed for motor and sailing boats, both for engine starting and onboard services. If it is your starter battery, run the services from a separate battery; if it is a service battery, avoid routinely discharging it beyond 50%. 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 DC160-8B: DC range and AGM technology Within the Fullriver catalogue, the **DC** series groups the references designed for this use. The DC160-8B is the 160 Ah model of that family, with the same performance as its siblings in other sizes. AGM means the acid is held in a glass mat instead of floating free. That is why the battery can be installed in the cabin without gases, survives more cycles and recovers its charge quickly. ### 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. All the Fullriver batteries in our catalogue are genuine product, recently manufactured and covered by the manufacturer's warranty. ### Warranty and coverage The Fullriver DC160-8B comes with the **manufacturer's official warranty** against manufacturing defects. Deep discharge from winter lay-up without charging is not covered. ### Care and maintenance As a service battery, avoid routine discharges below 50% to extend its cycle life. Protect the terminals with dielectric grease and check the fixing: vibration and swell loosen connections. ### 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 ### Is this battery AGM? What is it for? Yes. The DC160-8B 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 is the Fullriver DC160-8B battery installed in the vehicle? 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 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 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 DC160-8B model? Expected lifespan of the Fullriver DC160-8B 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 DC160-8B battery? Dimensions (length Γ— width Γ— height) are 260Γ—182Γ—288 mm β€” also written as 260x182x288 mm β€” 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. ### Is the DC160-8B valid for my vehicle? 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 DC160-8B typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format. ### Which batteries are equivalent to the Fullriver DC160-8B? 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 boats. See the "Equivalents" section to view recommended options at the same performance level. ## Reviews - **Average rating**: 4.79 / 5 (53 reviews) ## 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· 2026-09-28*
