The Fullriver FT438-U1R in practice

Which cars do our customers fit it to?

Mostly to Kia Sportage (1 orders with the vehicle identified). Run it through the plate finder before buying: two versions of the same model can call for different cases.

Designed for the auxiliary network of cars with advanced Start-Stop and heavy electronics, the Fullriver FT438-U1R from the Full Throttle Series range stabilises the voltage with 35 Ah with AGM technology. It replaces the original battery without adaptation in vehicles with an auxiliary battery with a 196 × 131 × 192 mm format: same 35 Ah capacity.

  • AGM technology: absorbed electrolyte, no spills, can be mounted at an angle.
  • Stabilises the onboard network voltage.
  • Sealed AGM: safe when installed in the cabin.
  • Maintenance-free.

What the Fullriver FT438-U1R is for

As an auxiliary battery, the Fullriver FT438-U1R works alongside the main one; replace it when the vehicle reports a fault in the support network. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 11.30 kg and M6 + TP26 (SAE) terminals.

Size, terminals and hold-down of the Fullriver FT438-U1R

The Fullriver FT438-U1R is made in the 196 × 131 × 192 mm format and weighs 11.30 kg. It uses M6 + TP26 (SAE) 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.

Why choose Fullriver batteries

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. All the Fullriver batteries in our catalogue are genuine product, recently manufactured and covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

The Fullriver FT438-U1R: Full Throttle Series range and AGM technology

Within the Fullriver catalogue, the Full Throttle Series series groups the references designed for this use. The FT438-U1R is the 35 Ah model of that family, with the same performance as its siblings in other sizes.

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.

Usage and maintenance tips

The auxiliary battery works alongside the main one: if a support-network fault warning appears, check both. Charge with a charger that has an AGM mode: it limits the voltage and protects the glass-fibre separators.

Official warranty

The Fullriver FT438-U1R comes with the manufacturer's official warranty against manufacturing defects. If it fails through a defect within the warranty period, we replace it at no cost to you.

When you get it and how to return it

Order before 6:00 pm 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 14 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 long does the Fullriver FT438-U1R battery last?

There is no exact figure: for a battery such as the Fullriver FT438-U1R, a reasonable guide is 4 to 7 years in regular use (depends on technology and climate). It can vary considerably with usage (short or long journeys), temperature, the condition of the alternator and charging system, power drawn with the engine off and maintenance, plus the car itself and Start-Stop. Cold demands more at every start and intense heat evaporates the electrolyte.

What size is this battery?

Length × width × height: 196x131x192 mm. Height is measured to the top of the terminals. Measure your car's battery tray first; if the battery exceeds it by even a millimetre, the hold-down clamp may not close.

Is the FT438-U1R valid for my vehicle?

Not sure? Try your number plate in the finder (DGT/DVLA/KBA detect model and engine) or the "Compatible vehicles" tab, checked by our technical team; if your car is not there, send us make, model, engine and year on WhatsApp and we will reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:30–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). If our table and the car handbook disagree, go with what the manufacturer says.

What are the equivalents of the FT438-U1R model?

A direct equivalent needs what this FT438-U1R offers: 196×131×192 mm, the same Ah and CCA. Technology matters too: in Start-Stop cars, an EFB cannot be replaced with a conventional battery. The options at the same level are in the "Equivalents" section of this page.
