Is the Fulmen FG1705 right for you?
Bus depots and haulage yards both keep the Fulmen FG1705 on their parts lists. A cold-start rating of 950A gives a frozen tractor on a February morning a real chance. Checking post layout on screen saves lugging the wrong battery across the yard.
170Ah is a typical capacity for trucks and farm machinery.

Getting the best from the Fulmen FG1705
A lorry with a sleeper cab runs the heater, the fridge and phone chargers all night on its batteries. Label each battery with its fitting date for fleet records. A slow crank on a cold morning is often the first warning on a heavy diesel.
About the technology: lead-acid
Maintenance-free flooded batteries have sealed caps. Flooded traction batteries keep golf buggies and forklifts running for years. A fully charged battery resists freezing far better than a flat one.
Quick compatibility checklist
- ✓ EN cranking amps of 950A. If you are unsure of your requirement, the vehicle handbook usually states it.
- ✓ A different chemistry from lead-acid may need system changes.
- ✓ Measure the space available: the case takes up 514 × 218 × 210 mm, and a few millimetres too many can stop the hold-down from closing.
