1,150*A* Cold cranking
60.10*kg* Weight

The **Fulmen FX2253** with EFB technology delivers **225 Ah** at **12 V** and **1,150 A** of cold cranking current (EN): what trucks, buses, tractors and heavy machinery demand. Measuring 518 × 274 × 240 mm and the positive terminal on the left, it is the direct replacement for trucks fitted from the factory with a 225 Ah battery of this format.
- Powers tachograph, fridge and heater during rest stops.
- Better tolerance to deep discharge than a conventional starter battery.
- EFB: the evolution of the conventional battery for basic Start-Stop cars.
- Resistant to constant chassis vibration.

### What the Fulmen FX2253 is for

Designed for trucks, buses, tractors and heavy machinery, the Fulmen FX2253 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 60.10 kg and B00 hold-down.

### The Fulmen FX2253: EndurancePRO EFB range and EFB technology

The **EndurancePRO EFB** is the Fulmen range the FX2253 belongs to: it shares the same construction and quality criteria with the rest of the series, and varies in capacity and format to suit each vehicle.
An EFB is a reinforced flooded battery: its plates retain the active material better and tolerate the cycling imposed by a simple Start-Stop system, at a lower cost than an AGM.

### Size, terminals and hold-down of the Fulmen FX2253

It has external dimensions of 518 × 274 × 240 mm and weighs 60.10 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. 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.

### What Fulmen does differently

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.

### Care and maintenance

Keep the terminals clean and tight and the battery firmly secured against chassis vibration. A charger with an EFB or smart conventional mode is enough; avoid the high-voltage modes intended for AGM.

### Official warranty

The Fulmen FX2253 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

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

### Is the Fulmen FX2253 an EFB battery? When is EFB used?

Yes: the FX2253 (225 Ah) is an EFB, an evolution of the flooded lead-acid battery with additives that strengthen the plates. It goes into trucks with basic Start-Stop (no energy recovery when braking): more cycles than a conventional battery, fewer than an AGM, and cheaper than an equivalent AGM.

### Is the Fulmen FX2253 battery suitable for Start-Stop?

Yes. It is a EFB battery of 225 Ah, designed for vehicles with Start-Stop. EFB batteries cover basic Start-Stop (no regenerative braking). If the truck recovers energy when braking, AGM is recommended for its higher cycle count; for basic Start-Stop, EFB. The manufacturer's specification comes first. It needs nothing to work, though on most modern trucks registering it via OBD is advisable so the alternator adjusts its charging profile.

### 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?

Estimated lifespan of the Fulmen FX2253: 5 to 7 years in lorry use, even with high power draw while parked. Treat it as an approximate guide, as every case is different. Many factors play a part: how it is used (lots of short trips, for example), temperature (cold makes every start harder and intense heat evaporates the electrolyte), the condition of the alternator and charging system, power drawn with the engine off and maintenance, as well as the type of truck and whether it has Start-Stop.

### What are the measurements of the FX2253 model?

The Fulmen FX2253 takes up 518×274×240 mm (length, width and height, terminals included). Before buying, measure the space in your truck: one extra millimetre can stop the hold-down clamp from closing.

### What polarity does the Fulmen FX2253 battery have?

The FX2253 has the positive on the left: that is its polarity. It must match your current battery: reversed polarity means lengthening cables or reconfiguring the system, with a risk of short circuit. Face the battery with its terminals nearest you and see which side the positive post (+, red ring) is on.

### Does this battery fit my truck?

For your own vehicle: type your number plate into the finder (DGT/DVLA/KBA identify model and engine), check the "Compatible vehicles" tab below, listing vehicles verified by our technical team, or message us on WhatsApp with make, model, engine and year; we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:30–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). The truck manufacturer's specifications always take priority over our tables.

### What are the equivalents of the FX2253 model?

A battery interchangeable with the Fulmen FX2253 must match it on dimensions (518×274×240 mm), polarity (positive on the left), capacity (225 Ah) and cranking current (1150 A). 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.

### Fulmen FX2253 or Exide EP2100: which one to choose?

It is the AGM of the same case: more cycles, more cranking and better resistance to power draw at standstill than the FX2253. Compared with the FX2253 it has 15 Ah more and 50 A of cold cranking more. It costs €384.80 more. Essential if the vehicle requires AGM from the factory or draws a lot with the engine off; in conventional use the FX2253 does the job and AGM adds service life.

### Fulmen FX2253 or Varta C40: which one to choose?

Same case and same fitting as the FX2253, from Varta. Compared with the FX2253 it has 15 Ah more and 50 A of cold cranking more. It costs €300.60 more. If you want to save or the FX2253 is out of stock, it is the safe alternative: same dimensions, same polarity and official warranty.

### What exactly is an EFB battery like the Fulmen FX2253?

The EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) is a reinforced flooded battery: plates with carbon and polyethylene additives and thicker grids, giving it more cycles than a conventional one; for cycles and deep discharges it still sits below an AGM. Its place is basic Start-Stop without regenerative braking, fitted from new in, for example, Renault Energy TCe, Peugeot/Citroën PureTech, Fiat MultiAir, Hyundai/Kia ISG or Ford EcoBoost. EFB from the factory? Stay with EFB; AGM is optional and only a marginal improvement. AGM from the factory? Then fit an AGM, because an EFB would fall short. This FX2253 is an EFB.

### Do I need to register the Fulmen FX2253 on the truck after installation?

It is not strictly necessary on most trucks, because the alternator detects the change and adapts the charge. The advisable step is to register it via OBD: the charging profile is optimum from the first minute and the battery lasts longer, especially on brands with sophisticated BMS (BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Volvo, Land Rover). Without registration the truck starts normally; the alternator simply takes a few days to adjust the profile. Any garage with an OBD scanner can do it in a few minutes. If you prefer to do it yourself: VCDS / Carista (VAG), Bimmercode (BMW) or iCarsoft.
