Fulmen FG2253 · Truck battery 12V 225Ah 1200A

Truck battery Fulmen FG2253 StartPRO 225Ah 1,200A 12V

The Fulmen FG2253 with conventional lead-acid technology delivers 225 Ah at 12 V and 1,200 A of cold cranking current (EN): what trucks, buses, tractors and heavy machinery demand. Its 518 × 274 × 240 mm and the positive terminal on the left make it the exact replacement for the 225 Ah battery fitted as standard to many trucks.

In short: the Fulmen FG2253 (225 Ah, 1200 A, 518 × 274 × 240 mm, positive terminal on the left). Verified equivalent alternatives: Varta N9 and Exide EG2253.

• Resistant to constant chassis vibration.
• Good balance of capacity, cranking power and price.
• Better tolerance to deep discharge than a conventional starter battery.
• Powers tachograph, fridge and heater during rest stops.

What the Fulmen FG2253 is for

With 225 Ah, the Fulmen FG2253 cranks large-displacement diesel engines in the cold and powers tachograph, fridge and heater during rest stops. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 54.90 kg, 1 terminals and B00 hold-down.

Size, terminals and hold-down of the Fulmen FG2253

It has external dimensions of 518 × 274 × 240 mm and weighs 54.90 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. Checking the three dimensions and the terminal position before buying avoids the most common mistake when replacing a battery.

The Fulmen FG2253: StartPRO range and conventional lead-acid technology

Within the Fulmen catalogue, the StartPRO series groups the references designed for this use. The FG2253 is the 225 Ah model of that family, with the same performance as its siblings in other sizes.

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.

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

Official warranty

The Fulmen FG2253 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.

Usage and maintenance tips

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.

Delivery times 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.
