Automotive battery designed to deliver dependable starting power for modern vehicles, including Start/Stop systems, Bosch Car Battery S5A13. Peace of mind for drivers who need consistent starts on short, stop-start journeys. Is the maintenance-free, rugged construction the right match for your car?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Starting Power: Performance rated 95A/h, 850A cranking current at 12V for reliable starts
- • Best for: Drivers of recent cars with Start/Stop systems and frequent urban use
- • Not ideal for: Owners of older vehicles that require user-serviced flooded batteries
AGM construction and a patented PowerFrame grid deliver stable high current for engine starts. Adapted for recent Start & Stop vehicles with maintenance-free operation.
Reliable cold starts - with patented PowerFrame grid
Patented PowerFrame grid optimises current flow and reduces internal resistance during cranking. Efficient current routing smooths heavy starting loads even with several electrical consumers.
Assured, consistent engine starts in cold weather and under high electrical demand, ideal for cars carrying accessories.
Greater deep-cycle resilience - with AGM micro-fibreglass mats
Absorbed Glass Mat construction traps acid in micro-fibreglass mats, slowing stratification and lowering self-discharge rates. This raises deep-cycle resistance up to four times compared with conventional starter batteries.
Higher tolerance for repeated partial discharges on short trips, keeping available power steady during stop-start driving.
Low maintenance and improved safety - with double lid and central degassing
Double lid with a labyrinth design returns condensed water to the cells, cutting water loss, while integrated central degassing and double backfire protection manage gases safely.
No regular topping-up is required and venting is controlled for safer installation and use.
