Bosch S5A08 - car battery - 70A/h - 760A - AGM technology - adapted for vehicles with Start/Stop system - Type 096

Product Information

Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) batteries are the most advanced batteries you’ll find in a car right now, unless you’re driving a plug-in hybrid or a fully electric vehicle. AGM batteries are also suitable for cars with start-stop systems, but they offer the potential for many more starts than an EFB battery and will have a longer service life. As you might expect, they are the most expensive to buy, but their durability could make them the most economical in the long-term. If nobody is home or the courier does not feel its safe to leave securely, they will reattempt the following day. They normally do this 2 times and then return to the sender (us). Look after a car battery and they can last for years, but treat them poorly and they can be destined for the recycling centre in a matter of months. With regards to our testing, we tested batteries from a variety of brands and replaced multiple-sized batteries. As well as our experience and testing of a range of car batteries, we also based our recommendations upon plenty of research and multiple factors. Some of the factors that we took into consideration included their brand reputation, capacity, service life, carry handle, terminals, warranty and value for money.

I bought a new Citroen C4 Picasso in 2014. I complained about the car to the main dealers because the ‘Stop-Start wasn’t working and I was told there is nothing wrong with it just need to drive it more. I persevered with the car and the stop-start would only work after driving over 100 miles. Recently I had a problem with the car and because of Covid 19 couldn’t get it fixed . When I finally did there were loads of faults diagnosed and I was told it was because of a poor battery. I bought this battery and everything works as it should. Not a good advert for main dealer diagnosis but a great one for Bosch batteries I bought a new Citroen C4 Picasso in 2014.

When purchasing a Bosch car battery in the U.K., it's advisable to ensure that you choose the correct battery model that is compatible with your vehicle's specifications and requirements. It's also recommended to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for battery maintenance and consider professional installation if needed. Furthermore, this car battery comes with a 3 year warranty as well as exceeding original equipment requirements. This ensures the reliability and performance of this car battery are uncompromising. That’s why, to deliver our best buy verdicts, we’ve broken the market down into types of batteries (all explained below) and have scoured a range of online retailers to see which batteries motorists consider the best of breed. The Bosch S5 Silver are suited to newer vehicles with higher electrical demands that come equipped with features such as parking sensors, trip computer, heated front windscreen etc. These Bosch Batteries are mainly for the latest high end vehicles and large diesel Engines.

As you can see below, we recently replaced an older Varta battery with a DriveTec alternative and the difference was instant because the older battery couldn’t hold a charge for longer than a few days. However, during our testing, as well as the performance of the batteries, we also analyse their quality in terms of their carry handles and terminals.If 096 is not the right size, here’s all the best Enhanced Flooded Batteries for each different size. Getting The Right Battery Type Free Delivery is not available for Over-Sized parcels, such as Exhausts, Radiators & Headlamps - For details on these items please see the 'Oversized Items' section below.

All these factories result in AGM batteries lasting much longer than any other type of battery. We’ve explored in detail what causes battery to die and how to recondition them.

The Bosch S5 096 comes fully charger and ready to fit while also being completely maintenance-free. It includes a 3 year warranty which is a guarantee of its utmost reliability above all else. This fixes one of the major reasons for lead acid batteries degrading over time, namely acid stratification. That’s when the electrolyte solution of sulphuric acid and distilled water becomes poorly mixed and impairs the battery’s ability to store and hence give power to the vehicle. This battery allows around 50,000 engine starts as compared to around 20,000 on a normal battery. The Silver car batteries come fully charged, ready to fit, and are completely maintenance-free. It also features a rollover proof lid for extra safety, making it ideal for cold weather climates and superior power & performance.Faulty products will be replaced as soon as we are able to verify the fault and ship another to you. They only tend to be factory fitted in more premium and high-end vehicles. However, it may be beneficial to switch from EFB to AGM if your car has a lot of on-board tech, or if you frequently make journeys so short that the battery is unable to recharge. All in all, for these reasons, the best 096 car battery will be an AGM (what are the best AGM battery brands). Again, with regards to Capacity and Cold Cranking Amps (CCA), you should only compare AGM batteries with other AGM batteries (after ensuring your battery tray will fit 096 battery dimensions).
