Truck battery Fulmen FF1853 PowerPRO 185Ah 1,150A 12V
The Fulmen FF1853 with conventional lead-acid technology delivers 185 Ah at 12 V and 1,150 A of cold cranking current (EN): what trucks, buses, tractors and heavy machinery demand. Measuring 513 × 223 × 223 mm and the positive terminal on the left, it is the direct replacement for trucks fitted from the factory with a 185 Ah battery of this format.
In short: the Fulmen FF1853 (185 Ah, 1150 A, 513 × 223 × 223 mm, positive terminal on the left). Verified equivalent alternatives: Tudor TF1853 and Exide EF1853.
- Powers tachograph, fridge and heater during rest stops.
- Better tolerance to deep discharge than a conventional starter battery.
- Good balance of capacity, cranking power and price.
- Resistant to constant chassis vibration.
What the Fulmen FF1853 is for
Designed for trucks, buses, tractors and heavy machinery, the Fulmen FF1853 withstands constant chassis vibration and discharges during stops with active loads. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 43.90 kg, 1 terminals and B00 hold-down.
The Fulmen FF1853: PowerPRO range and conventional lead-acid technology
The FF1853 is part of the Fulmen PowerPRO 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.
Size, terminals and hold-down of the Fulmen FF1853
The Fulmen FF1853 is made in the 513 × 223 × 223 mm format and weighs 43.90 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 B00 hold-down and 1 terminals, 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.
Why choose Fulmen batteries
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. All the Fulmen batteries in our catalogue are genuine product, recently manufactured and covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
Care and maintenance
During rest stops with active loads, avoid repeated deep discharges: they shorten the life of any starter battery. In 24 V installations, check periodically that both batteries show the same voltage; an imbalance means one is failing.
Official warranty
The Fulmen FF1853 comes with the manufacturer's official warranty against manufacturing defects. An important note for commercial vehicles: most trucks use two batteries connected in series (24 V installation). If you replace only one, the new battery works alongside the old one, which has already lost capacity; that imbalance shortens its life and the manufacturer may treat it as misuse. Always replace both at the same time.
Delivery times and returns
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
Why does my lorry have two batteries?
Most lorries, buses and tractors run on 24 V with two 12 V batteries connected in series. Always replace both at the same time and with the same model: if one is new and the other old, they become unbalanced and both last less.
How many years does this battery last?
As a rough estimate, the Fulmen FF1853 typically lasts 4 to 6 years in normal lorry use; it is a guide figure, not a guaranteed period. What weighs most: temperature (cold makes starts harder and intense heat evaporates the electrolyte), frequent short trips, the condition of the alternator and charging system, power draw while parked and maintenance, not forgetting the type of truck and Start-Stop.
What size is this battery?
Length × width × height: 513x223x223 mm. Height is measured to the top of the terminals. Measure your truck's battery tray first; if the battery exceeds it by even a millimetre, the hold-down clamp may not close.
On which side is the positive of the FF1853 model?
Polarity of the Fulmen FF1853: positive on the left. If your current battery has its positive on the other side, this one is not suitable without longer cables or a reconfigured system (short-circuit risk). Seen from the front, terminals towards you, the positive (+) is the post with the red ring.
Is the FF1853 valid for my vehicle?
Three routes: the "Compatible vehicles" tab on this page, with the vehicles verified by our technical team; your number plate in the finder, from which DGT/DVLA/KBA detect model and engine; and WhatsApp, with make, model, engine and year, during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:30–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). If our table and the truck handbook disagree, go with what the manufacturer says. The FF1853 fits 141 verified vehicle versions in our database.
What are the equivalents of the FF1853 model?
Technology matters too: in Start-Stop trucks, an EFB cannot be replaced with a conventional battery. The options at the same level are in the "Equivalents" section of this page. A direct equivalent needs what this FF1853 offers: 513×223×223 mm, positive on the left, the same Ah and CCA and conventional technology.
Fulmen FF1853 or Tudor TF1853: which one to choose?
It is the verified Tudor equivalent for the FF1853 tray. Compared with the FF1853 it has the same Ah and cranking power. It costs €177.40 more. Decide by price, brand preference and availability: both fit and crank the same.
Fulmen FF1853 or Varta B90: which one to choose?
It is the EFB version of the same case: it withstands far more partial discharges than the FF1853. Compared with the FF1853 it has 5 Ah more and 100 A of cold cranking less. It costs €209.60 more. Essential with Start-Stop or heavy draw at standstill; in a conventional-use truck the FF1853 does the job and EFB only adds service life.
