Description

For example, if your car has a stop-start system, then you’ll need either an EFB or an AGM battery. Only these battery types work with stop-start functionality. Larger Commercial & Marine batteries which need to be sent via pallet may incur an extra postal charge. Correct Fit Guarantee:When selecting Patrol Fit, the RAC guarantees to fit the right battery for your car, even if you select the wrong battery. Read More Choosing a replacement battery can be a minefield because there are a myriad of different dimensions. Not only that, but different batteries deliver different amounts of electrical current (measured in amperes, or ‘amps’), so you can’t just fit any battery into your car.

Bosch car batteries are known for their reliability, performance, and durability. They are designed to deliver consistent power and provide a long service life. Bosch offers a variety of battery types to cater to different vehicle models and requirements, including conventional lead-acid batteries, enhanced flooded batteries (EFB) for start-stop systems, and absorbent glass mat (AGM) batteries for vehicles with advanced electrical systems. The Bosch 096 AGM Car Battery is a powerful battery, ideal for modern vehicles and applications. With the growing number of comfort electronics found in modern vehicles, having a powerful battery which can cope with these demands has never been more important. Although car batteries can last many years, they’ll eventually require replacement when they become faulty. Therefore, as we own multiple cars, we replace car batteries far more often than the average motorist, which means that we have experience with a variety of batteries in terms of their size and brand.The Yuasa HSB096 Silver 12V Car Battery 5 Year Guarantee is ideal for drivers using one or more plug-in devices, such as phones, cool boxes, DVD players, and Sat Navs, and for drivers using air conditioning. Due to their increased starting capacity (CCA), these batteries are best for cold mornings.

AH stands for ampere/hours and can determine how long a battery will last before needing to be recharged. CCA stands for cold cranking amps and, as the name might suggest, indicates the battery’s ability to ‘crank’ – ‘turn over’ or, simply, start – the engine in cold weather.

How does the guarantee work?

Bosch car batteries are manufactured using high-quality materials and undergo rigorous testing to meet or exceed industry standards. They are engineered to deliver reliable starting power, withstand demanding conditions, and provide excellent performance in various weather conditions. Stop start means that your car’s engine cuts out when you stop to save fuel and cut harmful emissions. 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).

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. 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. Even if you have the correct size, you’ll still need to make sure you get the right type of battery. Do you have stop start functionality? While you can step up from an EFB to an AGM battery, you shouldn’t take the cheaper option and step down from an EFB by fitting a lead acid battery. Using a lead acid battery can trigger faults with your start-stop system, as well as other features, and the battery’s lifespan will be significantly reduced. What is an AGM battery?Despite recent advances, lead acid battery technology is still the most common found in our cars. They’re cheap, durable and, provided you use your car regularly and give it the occasional long run, should last for years. You can expect to get around 20,000 starts from a lead acid battery, but they’re not suitable for cars fitted with fuel-saving start-stop systems. What is an EFB battery? AGM stands for Absorbed Glass Mat. That’s because the electrolyte in AGM batteries is absorbed in fibre glass mats, rather than free flowing around the lead plates. Why Are AGM batteries Better Than Standard Flooded Batteries? 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. 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.

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. Key specs – Technology: Enhanced flooded battery; Suitable for: City cars to mid-size models; Suitable for start-stop: Yes; Warranty: Five years If 096 is not the right size, here’s all the best Enhanced Flooded Batteries for each different size. Getting The Right Battery Type Faulty products will be replaced as soon as we are able to verify the fault and ship another to you. The battery features a strong, ergonomic handle which makes the weighty battery easier and safer to carry and install. Depending on the size, the S4 has a CCA of up to 830 amps, which should be way in excess of what most people will need in the UK. The links we’ve provided are specific, so you might need to have a look for the speicifc size you need.

Scottish Highlands - AB36-38, AB55-56, FK17-21, IV1-39, IV52-54, IV63, KW1-14, PA21-40, PH19-26, PH30-41, PH49-50 A higher quantity of battery plates, and thinner plates, also improve cyclic durability. These factors make it better able to deal with more discharge, and deliver more cycles throughout the lifetime of the battery. Halfords’ EFB is available in three common sizes – 096, 100 and 110 – and has a near-five-star rating across the board. Their EFB range is compatible with start-stop systems and they claim to be capable of 270,000 starts. Depending on size, the batteries boast a CCA rating of up to 730 amps. 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. 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.
