The Fulmen FC652 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.

With 65 Ah at 12 V and 540 A of cold cranking current (EN), the Fulmen FC652 from the Standard range is a starter battery built for passenger cars with conventional starting, without a Start-Stop system. It replaces the original battery without adaptation in cars with a 278 × 175 × 175 mm format: same 65 Ah capacity and the positive terminal on the right.

In short: the Fulmen FC652 (65 Ah, 540 A, 278 × 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: Exide EC652 and Tudor TC652.

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

Dimensions, polarity and mounting

It has external dimensions of 278 × 175 × 175 mm and weighs 14.50 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.

What the Fulmen FC652 is for

The Fulmen FC652 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 14.50 kg, 1 terminals and B13 hold-down.

The Fulmen FC652: Standard range and conventional lead-acid technology

The FC652 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.

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 FC652

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.

Warranty and coverage

The Fulmen FC652 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

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. 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.

Shipping, delivery and returns

Same-day dispatch from our warehouse for in-stock orders placed before 6:00 pm: 24-48 working hours in mainland Spain and Portugal, 3 to 5 days in the islands and the rest of Europe. Returns are accepted for 14 days if the battery has not been used (free collection on the Iberian mainland). You will receive tracking by email.

Frequently asked questions

How is the Fulmen FC652 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 (−) 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 (−).

What is the service life of the FC652 model?

Expected lifespan of the Fulmen FC652 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 278×175×175 mm — also written as 278x175x175 mm and correspond to the European LB3 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 FC652 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.

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 — we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:30–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). The FC652 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 — 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.

Fulmen FC652 or Exide EA722: which one to choose?

Same case and same fitting as the FC652, from Exide. Compared with the FC652 it has 7 Ah more and 180 A of cold cranking more. It costs €59.20 more. If you want to save or the FC652 is out of stock, it is the safe alternative: same dimensions, same polarity and official warranty.

Fulmen FC652 or Varta E38: which one to choose?

It is the verified Varta equivalent for the FC652 tray. Compared with the FC652 it has 9 Ah more and 210 A of cold cranking more. It costs €90.20 more. Decide by price, brand preference and availability: both fit and crank the same.
