S5 AGM technology: For passenger cars with start/stop system and braking energy recuperation
The constantly growing amount of electric consumers in modern vehicles and special requirements such as start/stop systems and braking-energy recuperation call for top-performance batteries. The Bosch S5 AGM battery delivers the required power for frequent starts and stops, and reliably supplies electronic devices during the stop phase.
AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology from Bosch is the leading technology on the market for the most exacting requirements. Special mats of very thin glass fibers hold all the electrolyte, allowing higher amounts of energy to pass through. This enables the Bosch S5 AGM battery to give a top performance.
Advantages
- Longer service life and up to 4 times greater deep cycle resistance than conventional starter batteries
- Constant power even on short trips, in stop-and-go traffic or high consumption when stationary
- Excellent charge acceptance and starting performance with a large number of electrical devices
- Absolutely maintenance-free
- Leak-proof and suitable for installation in any position
- First-class quality from Bosch
Please check battery type, dimensions, terminal polarity, and terminal type against the battery being replaced. Even if the battery shows as being compatible with your vehicle, there can sometimes be more than one option depending on individual vehicle specifications. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee vehicle fitment using vehicle details alone.
AGM technology: Top-of-the-range power for a peak performance
In batteries with AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology, special mats of very thin glass fibers lie tightly between the lead plates of the battery and all the electrolyte. The high contact pressure minimizes the loss of active material with an extremely low internal resistance. The faster reaction between the electrolyte and the plate material allows the passage of a greater quantity of energy in demanding situations.
Bosch AGM batteries at a glance: Suitable for all systems
If battery replacement is needed, it is important to install AGM batteries again in passenger cars that were fitted with this type of battery when new. Otherwise, the function and positive effects of the start/stop system would be impaired. The battery service life would also be reduced.
When is an upgrade from conventional or EFB to AGM worthwhile?
- Does the vehicle have extensive electronic equipment?
- Is the vehicle equipped with additional, retrofitted electronic devices?
- Are devices, e.g. mobile phones, often charged in the vehicle?
- Do you often drive under extreme weather conditions?
- Do you often drive short distances or are often in traffic queues?
- Would you be prepared to pay more for a product with a better long-term benefit (service life)?
If you have answered any of these questions with “yes”, an upgrade to an AGM is recommended.
