• 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.

Will it fit your current battery tray?

In terms of format, the Fulmen FG1803 measures 513 × 223 × 223 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 42.80 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 and 1 terminals, 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.

The Fulmen FG1803: StartPRO range and conventional lead-acid technology

Within the Fulmen catalogue, the StartPRO series groups the references designed for this use. The FG1803 is the 180 Ah model of that family, with the same performance as its siblings in other sizes.

The conventional lead-acid battery remains the most widespread technology thanks to its balance of capacity, cranking current and price. Well maintained and kept charged, it offers years of reliable service in vehicles without Start-Stop.

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. We guarantee that every Fulmen arrives new, charged and with the manufacturer's full warranty.

Manufacturer's warranty

The Fulmen FG1803 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.

Care and maintenance

Keep the terminals clean and tight and the battery firmly secured against chassis vibration. In 24 V installations, check periodically that both batteries show the same voltage; an imbalance means one is failing.

Shipping, delivery and returns
