## Quick description

**Fullriver DC260-12APW 12V 260Ah 1525A** is a marine battery with reinforced anti-vibration case for moorings and offshore use. 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

The **Fullriver DC260-12APW** with AGM technology is a marine battery with **260 Ah** and **1,525 A** of cold cranking current (EN) for motor and sailing boats, both for engine starting and onboard services. Measuring 521 × 269 × 245 mm, it is the direct replacement for boats fitted from the factory with a 260 Ah battery of this format.
- AGM: faster recharging and better cycle resistance than a conventional battery.
- Ready for starting outboard and inboard engines.
- Sealed: no spills or gases in the locker.
- Resistant to humidity and salt air.

### What the Fullriver DC260-12APW is for

With 260 Ah, the Fullriver DC260-12APW 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 78.20 kg and APW terminals.

### Size, terminals and hold-down of the Fullriver DC260-12APW

In terms of format, the Fullriver DC260-12APW measures 521 × 269 × 245 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 78.20 kg. It uses APW 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 Fullriver does differently

Fullriver specialises in deep-cycle AGM batteries for mobility, marine, solar and traction. Its DC and HC series are known for their tolerance to deep discharge and long cycle life. At baterias.com we work directly with the manufacturer or its official distributor: real stock, brand-new product and official warranty.

### The Fullriver DC260-12APW: DC Series range and AGM technology

The **DC Series** is the Fullriver range the DC260-12APW 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.
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.

### Usage and maintenance tips

Charge with a charger that has an AGM mode: it limits the voltage and protects the glass-fibre separators. At the end of the season, charge the battery fully and, if possible, keep it on a charger over the winter lay-up.

### Manufacturer's warranty

The Fullriver DC260-12APW comes with the **manufacturer's official warranty** against manufacturing defects. Deep discharge from winter lay-up without charging is not covered.

### When you get it and how to return it

Orders placed **before 6:00 pm** with the battery in stock ship the same day. Delivery in mainland Spain and Portugal takes 24-48 working hours; for the Balearic Islands and the rest of the European Union allow 3 to 5 working days. You have **14 days** to return an unused battery; in mainland Spain and Portugal collection is free. We email you the tracking number as soon as the parcel ships.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is the DC260-12APW model AGM? What does this technology offer?

Yes. The DC260-12APW 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.

### How long does the Fullriver DC260-12APW battery last?

Expected lifespan of the Fullriver DC260-12APW 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 DC260-12APW battery?

Dimensions (length × width × height) are 521×269×245 mm — also written as 521x269x245 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.

### Is the DC260-12APW 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 — we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:40–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). The DC260-12APW typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format.

### What are the equivalents of the DC260-12APW 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.
