Fulmen FC542 · Car battery 12V 54Ah 500A

Car battery Fulmen FC542 Standard 54Ah 500A 12V

The Fulmen FC542 from the Standard range delivers 54 Ah and 500 A of cold cranking current (EN) at 12 V: the usual specification for passenger cars with conventional starting, without a Start-Stop system. Its 242 × 175 × 175 mm and the positive terminal on the right make it the exact replacement for the 54 Ah battery fitted as standard to many cars.

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

What the Fulmen FC542 is for

With 54 Ah, the Fulmen FC542 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 12.90 kg, 1 terminals and B13 hold-down.

Size, terminals and hold-down of the Fulmen FC542

It has external dimensions of 242 × 175 × 175 mm and weighs 12.90 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. For a direct replacement, the current battery tray must accept these dimensions and the same terminal layout; otherwise adapters will be needed or the hold-down will change.

The Fulmen FC542: Standard range and conventional lead-acid technology

Within the Fulmen catalogue, the Standard series groups the references designed for this use. The FC542 is the 54 Ah model of that family, with the same performance as its siblings in other sizes.

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.

Why choose Fulmen batteries

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. 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 FC542 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.

How to make it last longer

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