## Description

## Truck battery Fulmen FG1353 StartPRO 135Ah 1,000A 12V

12*V* Voltage
135*Ah* Capacity
1,000*A* Cold cranking
39.80*kg* Weight

The **Fulmen FG1353 truck battery** is rated at **12 V**, **135 Ah** and **1,000 A** of cold cranking current (EN) from the **StartPRO** range, and is prepared for trucks, buses, tractors and heavy machinery. Measuring 514 × 218 × 210 mm and the positive terminal on the left, it is the direct replacement for trucks fitted from the factory with a 135 Ah battery of this format.
- 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.

### Dimensions, polarity and mounting

In terms of format, the Fulmen FG1353 measures 514 × 218 × 210 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 39.80 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, the system that anchors and connects it in the vehicle. Checking the three dimensions and the terminal position before buying avoids the most common mistake when replacing a battery.

### What the Fulmen FG1353 is for

The Fulmen FG1353 is designed for trucks, buses, tractors and heavy machinery. In 24 V installations with two batteries in series, replace both at the same time to avoid imbalance. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 39.80 kg and B00 hold-down.

### The Fulmen FG1353: StartPRO range and conventional lead-acid technology

The FG1353 is part of the Fulmen **StartPRO** 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.

### What Fulmen does differently

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.

### Warranty and coverage

The Fulmen FG1353 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**.

### How to make it last longer

During rest stops with active loads, avoid repeated deep discharges: they shorten the life of any starter battery. Keep the terminals clean and tight and the battery firmly secured against chassis vibration.

### 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

### 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.

### What is the service life of the FG1353 model?

As a rough estimate, the Fulmen FG1353 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 are the measurements of the FG1353 model?

Its dimensions are 514×218×210 mm, also written 514x218x210 mm; the height already includes the terminals. Check the room available in your truck, because a single millimetre too much can stop the clamp from closing.

### What polarity does the Fulmen FG1353 battery have?

Polarity of the Fulmen FG1353: positive on the left. It must match your current battery: reversed polarity means lengthening cables or reconfiguring the system, with a risk of short circuit. Seen from the front, terminals towards you, the positive (+) is the post with the red ring.

### Does this battery fit my truck?

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)). Always cross-check with what the truck manufacturer states in the owner's handbook.

### Which interchangeable batteries are there for this one?

See the "Equivalents" section of this page for the recommended options at the same performance level. Mind the technology: in Start-Stop trucks an EFB is not swapped for a conventional battery. To replace the Fulmen FG1353 without modifications, the other battery must be identical in size, polarity, Ah and CCA.

### Fulmen FG1353 or Varta K4: which one to choose?

Same case and same technology as the FG1353: an alternative by size, not an official equivalent. Compared with the FG1353 it has 8 Ah more and 50 A of cold cranking less. It costs €225.80 more. If the polarity matches and your truck had a similar capacity, it works as a replacement; if in doubt, ask us with your model.

### Fulmen FG1353 or Varta J5: which one to choose?

Same case and same technology as the FG1353: an alternative by size, not an official equivalent. Compared with the FG1353 it has 5 Ah less and 320 A of cold cranking less. It costs €208.60 more. If the polarity matches and your truck had a similar capacity, it works as a replacement; if in doubt, ask us with your model.
