Car battery Fulmen FB501 Formula 50Ah 450A 12V

With 50 Ah at 12 V and 450 A of cold cranking current (EN), the Fulmen FB501 from the Formula range is a starter battery built for passenger cars with conventional starting, without a Start-Stop system. It measures 207 × 175 × 190 mm and the positive terminal on the left, the format sought by anyone replacing a 50 Ah battery in cars.

In short: the Fulmen FB501 (50 Ah, 450 A, 207 × 175 × 190 mm, positive terminal on the left). 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 TB501 and Exide EB501.

  • 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 FB501 is for

The Fulmen FB501 covers the needs of passenger cars with conventional starting, without a Start-Stop system: reliable starting, stable voltage for the electronics and a service life of several years in daily use. Check that it matches your current battery in size and terminal position. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 12.20 kg and B13 hold-down.

Will it fit your current battery tray?

In terms of format, the Fulmen FB501 measures 207 × 175 × 190 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 12.20 kg. The positive terminal on the left 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.

The Fulmen FB501: Formula range and conventional lead-acid technology

The FB501 is part of the Fulmen Formula range. Choosing the right reference within the series comes down to capacity, dimensions and terminals: technology and quality are common to the whole family.

In a conventional battery the electrolyte is liquid and the lead plates are immersed in it. It is a mature, economical and easily recycled technology, ideal for starting vehicles in normal use.

Fulmen: the maker behind the FB501

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. At baterias.com we work directly with the manufacturer or its official distributor: real stock, brand-new product and official warranty.

Manufacturer's warranty

The Fulmen FB501 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.

Care and maintenance

On batteries with filler caps, check the electrolyte level and top up only with distilled water. Avoid leaving lights or accessories on with the engine off: most batteries fail not through defects but through repeated deep discharges.

Delivery times and returns

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 do I fit the FB501 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 left 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.

What is the service life of the FB501 model?

Expected lifespan of the Fulmen FB501 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 size is this 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 FB501 battery have?

Polarity: positive on the left. 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 FB501 listed in catalogues?

The manufacturer reference (MPN) is FB501 and its ETN code is 5454130403122 (short form 545 413 040), the European identifier used in spare-part catalogues. The EAN-13 barcode is 3661024044523. It belongs to the Varta Dynamic SLI range. Any of these codes identifies exactly this battery when requesting quotes or comparing prices.

Will the Fulmen FB501 battery fit my car?

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 FB501 fits 84 verified vehicle versions in our database.

What are the equivalents of the FB501 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.
