## Description

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

12*V* Voltage
225*Ah* Capacity
1,200*A* Cold cranking
54.90*kg* Weight

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.
- 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.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I change this battery step by step?

In most trucks 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 left match the polarity shown on the product sheet; 6) connect the positive (+) first, then the negative (−). On trucks with Start-Stop or BMS, register the battery via OBD so the alternator applies the correct charging profile.

### How long does the Fulmen FG2253 battery last?

Expected lifespan of the Fulmen FG2253 is 4 to 6 years in regular truck 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 are the measurements of the FG2253 model?

Dimensions (length × width × height) are 518×274×240 mm — also written as 518x274x240 mm — following the European DIN standard. Always measure the space in your truck before buying: even one extra millimetre can prevent the hold-down clamp from closing. The height shown includes the terminals.

### On which side is the positive of the FG2253 model?

Polarity: positive on the left. 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.

### Will the Fulmen FG2253 battery fit my truck?

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 16:40–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). The FG2253 fits 355 verified vehicle versions in our database.

### Which batteries are equivalent to the Fulmen FG2253?

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 trucks. See the "Equivalents" section to view recommended options at the same performance level.
