The Fulmen FA852 in practice

When not to choose it

Not for Start-Stop or regenerative braking; those need EFB or AGM. Nor if the original had more capacity or cranking: never downwards.

The Fulmen FA852 car battery is rated at 12 V, 85 Ah and 800 A of cold cranking current (EN) from the Formula Xtreme range, and is designed for passenger cars with conventional starting, without a Start-Stop system. It measures 315 × 175 × 175 mm and the positive terminal on the right, the format sought by anyone replacing a 85 Ah battery in cars.

In short: the Fulmen FA852 (85 Ah, 800 A, 315 × 175 × 175 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. Verified equivalent alternatives: Tudor TA852 and Varta F18.

  • Original-equipment build quality without the dealership price.
  • Direct replacement for the original battery in size and terminals.
  • Reliable cold starts, even after weeks without driving.
  • Conventional lead-acid: the most proven and economical technology.

What the Fulmen FA852 is for

With 85 Ah, the Fulmen FA852 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 18.60 kg and B13 hold-down.

Will it fit your current battery tray?

In terms of format, the Fulmen FA852 measures 315 × 175 × 175 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 18.60 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, 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 FA852

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 FA852: Formula Xtreme range and conventional lead-acid technology

The Formula Xtreme is the Fulmen range the FA852 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.

Conventional lead-acid is the benchmark against which other technologies are compared: good cranking current, great tolerance to alternator charging and the best price per amp-hour.

Usage and maintenance tips

Avoid leaving lights or accessories on with the engine off: most batteries fail not through defects but through repeated deep discharges. 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 FA852 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.

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

How is the Fulmen FA852 battery installed in the vehicle?

For the detail, read our guide to replacing the car battery and, if in doubt, the owner's handbook or a main dealer. Allow 15-30 minutes and a 10 mm spanner for a LB4 case like this one. If the car keeps its battery in the boot or under a seat, it can take up to twice as long. What matters most is the terminal order: removing, negative (−) before positive (+); refitting, positive (+) before negative (−). In between, with the engine off and the key out, release the clamp and fit the new battery the same way round as the original, positive on the right (polarity).

How long does the Fulmen FA852 battery last?

Estimated lifespan of the Fulmen FA852: 4 to 6 years in regular car use without Start-Stop. Treat it as an approximate guide, as every case is different. 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?

The Fulmen FA852 takes up 315×175×175 mm (length, width and height, terminals included), the European LB4 case size, with a B13 hold-down. Before buying, measure the space in your car: one extra millimetre can stop the hold-down clamp from closing.

What polarity does the Fulmen FA852 battery have?

The FA852 has the positive on the right in a LB4 case: that is its polarity. Face the battery with its terminals nearest you and see which side the positive post (+, red ring) is on. A change of polarity from the original means longer cables or a reconfigured system and can cause a short circuit: check it before ordering.

Is the FA852 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)). The FA852 fits 139 verified vehicle versions in our database. The car manufacturer's specifications always take priority over our tables.

Which interchangeable batteries are there for this one?

Interchangeable means the same dimensions, same polarity, same Ah and same CCA; for the FA852, 85 Ah (800 A cranking). Not just any technology will do: an EFB cannot be replaced with a conventional battery in Start-Stop cars. The "Equivalents" section further down lists the recommended alternatives.

Fulmen FA852 or Exide EA852: which one to choose?

It is the verified Exide equivalent for the FA852 tray. Compared with the FA852 it has the same Ah and cranking power. It costs €69.80 more. Decide by price, brand preference and availability: both fit and crank the same.

Fulmen FA852 or Varta F18: which one to choose?

It is the verified Varta equivalent for the FA852 tray. Compared with the FA852 it has the same Ah and cranking power. It costs €97.80 more. Decide by price, brand preference and availability: both fit and crank the same.
