It replaces the original battery without adaptation in cars with a 242 Γ— 175 Γ— 190 mm format: same 55 Ah capacity and the positive terminal on the right. - Conventional lead-acid: the most proven and economical technology. - Reliable cold starts, even after weeks without driving. - Direct replacement for the original battery in size and terminals. - Original-equipment build quality without the dealership price. ### What the Fulmen FC550 is for The Fulmen FC550 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 13.30 kg and B13 hold-down. ### Size, terminals and hold-down of the Fulmen FC550 It has external dimensions of 242 Γ— 175 Γ— 190 mm and weighs 13.30 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 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 FC550: Standard range and conventional lead-acid technology The FC550 is part of the Fulmen **Standard** range. Choosing the right reference within the series comes down to capacity, dimensions and terminals: technology and quality are common to the whole family. 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. ### Fulmen: the maker behind the FC550 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. ### Warranty and coverage The Fulmen FC550 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 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. ### Shipping, delivery 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 is the Fulmen FC550 battery installed in the vehicle? 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 (βˆ’) 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 β€” with positive on the right match the polarity shown on the product sheet; 6) connect the positive (+) first, then the negative (βˆ’). ### How long does the Fulmen FC550 battery last? Expected lifespan of the Fulmen FC550 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 Γ— width Γ— height) are 242Γ—175Γ—190 mm β€” also written as 242x175x190 mm and correspond to the European L2 case size β€” 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. ### On which side is the positive of the FC550 model? 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. ### Does this 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 β€” we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:40–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). The FC550 typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format. ### Which interchangeable batteries are there for this one? 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 β€” 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. ## Equivalent batteries - [EXIDE EC550](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-exide-ec550-12v-55ah-460a) - [TUDOR TC550](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-tudor-tc550-12v-55ah-460a) - [TUDOR TA640](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-tudor-ta640-64ah-640a) - [TUDOR TB620](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-tudor-tb620-62ah-540a) - [VARTA C14](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-c14-12v-56ah-480a) - [VARTA D15](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-d15-12v-63ah-610a) - [VARTA D24](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-d24-12v-60ah-540a) - [EXIDE EA640](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-exide-ea640-12v-64ah-640a) - [EXIDE EB620](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-exide-eb620-12v-62ah-540a) - [VARTA N60](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-n60-12v-60ah-640a) - [VARTA LFS60](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-lfs60-12v-60ah-540a) - [VARTA D52](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-varta-d52-agm-12v-60ah-680a) ## Technical team (editorial authorship) The FAQs, guides and comparisons on this site are reviewed by the baterias.com technical team β€” automotive battery specialists since 2012. β†’ https://baterias.com/gb/technical-team --- *baterias.com β€” Automotive batteries Β· 2026-10-30*
