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 Car batteries go through a lot. They have to deliver enough punch to start your engine every day and they’re responsible for ensuring your lights, radio, heating, electric windows, and sat-nav operate properly. And, all the while, they’re nestled in our cars’ engine bays in extreme heat when the engine’s on in the height of summer, and extreme cold when it’s off in the depths of winter. But the only time most of us give them a second thought is when they’re flat.If 096 is not the right size, here’s all the best Enhanced Flooded Batteries for each different size. Getting The Right Battery Type 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. 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?

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? 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.
