    Modern vehicles equipped with start-stop systems place exceptional cyclic demands on the battery, requiring a design that can withstand repeated deep discharge during engine-off phases whilst delivering reliable cold-start performance. The Bosch S5 A08 AGM Car Battery is engineered precisely for this application, providing a 12V, 70Ah power source rated at 760A CCA to meet the energy demands of advanced automotive electrical systems. Bosch's AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology binds the electrolyte within micro glass fibre mats, eliminating free acid and enabling the battery to accept regenerative braking charge currents far more efficiently than conventional flooded designs. This construction also ensures the cell remains sealed and maintenance-free throughout its service life, with no requirement for electrolyte topping up. The S5 A08 measures 278mm x- 175mm - 190mm (L x- W x- H) and weighs 20.09kg. It fits Type 096AGM battery positions, uses a Type 1 terminal configuration with standard positive polarity (Terminal Placement 0), and is secured via hold-down type B13. Cross-reference: 096AGM. This battery is confirmed compatible with start-stop, recuperation, and brake energy regeneration vehicle systems. This product is also available in alternative capacities within the S5 A AGM range: S5A11, S5A13, and S5A15. Leisure AGM options LA008, LA009, LA010, and LA011 are stocked for non-automotive cyclic applications. The Bosch S5 A08 is backed by a 3-year manufacturer warranty, providing assurance of long-term reliability in demanding start-stop environments. . The Bosch S5 A battery with AGM technology provides sufficient energy for frequent stops and starts and reliably supplies the electronic consumers during the stop phase. AGM technology (Absorbent Glass Mat): acid bound in micro glass fibre mats allows higher energy masses to pass through. Longer life and up to 4 times higher cycle stability compared to conventional starter batteries. Constant power even during short trips, stop-and-go traffic or high consumption when stationary. Excellent charge absorption and starting power with a high number of electrical consumers. Absolutely maintenance-free and leak-proof. Key Feature: Backed by 3-year warranty for reliable use and dependable performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1- What is the voltage and capacity of the Bosch S5A08?
ANS- The Bosch S5A08 is a 12V battery with a capacity of 70Ah (rated at the C20 rate) and a Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) rating of 760A (EN standard).

Q2- Is the Bosch S5A08 compatible with start-stop vehicles?
ANS- Yes. The S5A08 is specifically engineered for vehicles equipped with start-stop systems, as well as those with recuperation and brake energy regeneration functionality. AGM technology is required by most manufacturers for these systems.

Q3- What are the physical dimensions and weight of the S5A08?
ANS- The battery measures 278mm in length, 175mm in width, and 190mm in height (including terminals). It weighs 20.09kg.

Q4- What terminal type and polarity does the S5A08 use?
ANS- The S5A08 uses a Type 1 terminal with standard polarity (Terminal Placement 0, meaning positive terminal on the left when viewed from the front). The hold-down type is B13.

Q5- What is the cross-reference or battery type code for the S5A08?
ANS- The S5A08 corresponds to battery Type 096AGM. This is the standard fitment code used across the UK automotive industry and can be used to confirm vehicle compatibility.

Q6- What AGM technology does Bosch use in the S5 A range?
ANS- Bosch AGM batteries use Absorbent Glass Mat construction, in which the electrolyte is fully absorbed into micro glass fibre mats between the plates. This eliminates free acid, prevents spillage, enables high cyclic charge acceptance, and makes the battery maintenance-free.

Q7- Can I replace a standard flooded battery with the Bosch S5A08?
ANS- If your vehicle was factory-fitted with an AGM battery - which is common in start-stop vehicles - it must be replaced with an AGM battery such as the S5A08. Fitting a flooded battery in place of an AGM unit is not recommended and may cause charging system faults.
