Fulmen FA406 · Car battery 12V 40Ah 350A

Car battery Fulmen FA406 Formula Xtreme 40Ah 350A 12V

With 40 Ah at 12 V and 350 A of cold cranking current (EN), the Fulmen FA406 from the Formula Xtreme range is a starter battery built for passenger cars with conventional starting, without a Start-Stop system. Its 187 × 127 × 220 mm and the positive terminal on the right make it the exact replacement for the 40 Ah battery fitted as standard to many cars.

In short: the Fulmen FA406 (40 Ah, 350 A, 187 × 127 × 220 mm, positive terminal on the right). It is a conventional battery for cars without Start-Stop: if yours has Start-Stop, it needs an EFB or AGM battery of the same size.

• Designed to last several years under normal daily use.
• Low self-discharge: copes with long stops without losing charge.
• Stable voltage for the vehicle electronics (ECU, sensors, climate control).
• Good balance of capacity, cranking power and price.

What the Fulmen FA406 is for

Designed for passenger cars with conventional starting, without a Start-Stop system, the Fulmen FA406 is the direct replacement when your vehicle uses a 40 Ah battery of this format. Before buying, compare dimensions, terminals and capacity with the battery you are replacing. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 9.30 kg and B01 hold-down.

Will it fit your current battery tray?

It has external dimensions of 187 × 127 × 220 mm and weighs 9.30 kg. The positive terminal on the right decides which side the cables end up on: it is the detail that causes most buying mistakes, so check it before ordering. It uses a B01 hold-down, 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.

Fulmen: the maker behind the FA406

With more than a century of history, Fulmen offers complete ranges for cars, trucks, motorcycles and leisure with the industrial quality of the Exide group. All the Fulmen batteries in our catalogue are genuine product, recently manufactured and covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

The Fulmen FA406: Formula Xtreme range and conventional lead-acid technology

Within the Fulmen catalogue, the Formula Xtreme series groups the references designed for this use. The FA406 is the 40 Ah model of that family, with the same performance as its siblings in other sizes.

The conventional lead-acid battery remains the most widespread technology thanks to its balance of capacity, cranking current and price. Well maintained and kept charged, it offers years of reliable service in vehicles without Start-Stop.

Usage and maintenance tips

In normal daily use the alternator keeps the battery charged; if the car stands for weeks, a maintenance charge once a month prevents deep discharge. On batteries with filler caps, check the electrolyte level and top up only with distilled water.
