How We Rated
We’ve done in-depth exploration into both EFB and AGM batteries, on which is best for start stop batteries. How long should the battery last me? 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. 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.
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. 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 The Bosch S5 096 Car Battery is an advanced car battery designed to be a strong option for motorists looking for a powerful yet hassle-free car battery. It provides up to 30% more power than typical entry level batteries which enables it to better cope with harsher conditions and better manage cars which powerful modern engines.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. 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. Bosch is a well-known and reputable brand that manufactures a range of automotive products, including car batteries. In the United Kingdom, Bosch car batteries are widely available and trusted by many vehicle owners.
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? Enhanced Flooded Batteries (EFB) are a step up from lead acid batteries and are suitable for cars with start-stop systems since they’re able to handle upwards of 250,000 starts in their lifetime. Which might sound like a lot, but start-stop systems can cut the engine dozens of times every journey. Even so, you can expect these batteries to last up to six years – much longer than a lead acid battery. 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. 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).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. Key specs – Technology: Enhanced flooded battery; Suitable for: City cars to mid-size models; Suitable for start-stop: Yes; Warranty: Five years
