12*V* Voltage
53*Ah* Capacity
540*A* Cold cranking
12.70*kg* Weight

The **Fulmen FA530** from the **Formula Xtreme** range delivers **53 Ah** and **540 A** of cold cranking current (EN) at **12 V**: the usual specification for passenger cars with conventional starting, without a Start-Stop system. It measures 207 × 175 × 190 mm and the positive terminal on the right, the format sought by anyone replacing a 53 Ah battery in cars.
- Reliable cold starts, even after weeks without driving.
- Conventional lead-acid: the most proven and economical technology.
- Original-equipment build quality without the dealership price.
- Direct replacement for the original battery in size and terminals.

### What the Fulmen FA530 is for

With 53 Ah, the Fulmen FA530 is sized for passenger cars with conventional starting, without a Start-Stop system. It is a direct replacement for the original battery as long as dimensions and terminals match. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 12.70 kg, 1 terminals and B13 hold-down.

### Will it fit your current battery tray?

In terms of format, the Fulmen FA530 measures 207 × 175 × 190 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 12.70 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 B13 hold-down and 1 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.

### Fulmen: the maker behind the FA530

Fulmen is the historic French brand of the Exide group: batteries made on the same lines and with the same technology as original equipment, widely used by workshops across Europe. We guarantee that every Fulmen arrives new, charged and with the manufacturer's full warranty.

### The Fulmen FA530: Formula Xtreme range and conventional lead-acid technology

The **Formula Xtreme** is the Fulmen range the FA530 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.
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.

### How to make it last longer

On batteries with filler caps, check the electrolyte level and top up only with distilled water. Keep the terminals clean and tight, and check that the resting voltage does not drop below 12.4 V: below that it is time to recharge.

### Official warranty

The Fulmen FA530 comes with the **manufacturer's official warranty** against manufacturing defects; the exact period is stated in the brand's conditions. If it fails through a defect within the period, we replace it free of charge.

### Delivery times and returns

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 do I fit the FA530 model in my car?

In most cars 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 — with positive on the right match the polarity shown on the product sheet; 6) connect the positive (+) first, then the negative (−). On cars with Start-Stop or BMS, register the battery via OBD so the alternator applies the correct charging profile.

### How long does the Fulmen FA530 battery last?

Expected lifespan of the Fulmen FA530 is 4 to 6 years in regular car use without 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 Fulmen FA530 battery?

Dimensions (length × width × height) are 207×175×190 mm — also written as 207x175x190 mm and correspond to the European L1 case size — following the European DIN standard. Always measure the space in your car before buying: even one extra millimetre can prevent the hold-down clamp from closing. The height shown includes the terminals.

### What polarity does the Fulmen FA530 battery have?

Polarity: positive on the right. To identify it, place the battery in front of you with the terminals facing you and check which side the positive (+, marked with a red ring) is on. Before buying, verify the polarity matches your current battery: switching polarity forces longer cables or system reconfiguration, with short-circuit risk.

### Under which reference is the Fulmen FA530 listed in catalogues?

The manufacturer reference (MPN) is FA530 and its ETN code is 5524000473132 (short form 552 400 047), the European identifier used in spare-part catalogues. The EAN-13 barcode is 3661024044202. It belongs to the Varta Dynamic SLI range. Any of these codes identifies exactly this battery when requesting quotes or comparing prices.

### Is the FA530 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 FA530 fits 683 verified vehicle versions in our database.

### What are the equivalents of the FA530 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 cars. See the "Equivalents" section to view recommended options at the same performance level.
