This Bosch battery is one of the type that cannot withstand the voltage falling below a certain level (about 10v) and if the voltage falls below that level the warranty is void. The battery arrived fully charged. It appears to be made of a hard plastic. It fitted well in an Audi A3 terminals were of the right size in the right place and it started the diesel engine without further charging. I would imagine that if a vehicle is used regularly and nothing is left on it will provide good service. The question that some users might have is whether the risk of sudden failure (with no warranty) outweighs any benefits this relatively expensive battery has over more traditional competition. Back in the 1980s gel batteries were available for motorcycles that had the same characteristic of not being rechargeable one the voltage dropped below a certain level. The fell out of favour. The problem is that for those motorists who expect a car to restart after being unused for a few months this kind of battery can be a liability.Read full review

This battery currently sits at the top of the Bosch range and is especially suitable for vehicles with a large number of electrical accessories and is a lead/calcium product. I find that the starter remains capable of spinning my heavy, diesel engine over at full chat at sub-zero temperatures, despite a recent history of short journeys using the pre-heater, lights and heated seats, windows and mirrors. I am also seeing a peak charge voltage of 17v, which dramatically reduces recharge and recovery time, although I suspect that an alternator capable of recognising the capabilities of a calcium battery is required to obtain this benefit. With the price here being comparable to a cheap, lead battery on the high street, fitting one of these instead is a no-brain decision.

My Mustang got through 3 Halfords batteries in 7 years, before I went for an S5, and I'm still very impressed with it 4 years later. 77Ah starts that big V8 with ease, and I can leave the car all winter without a problem (previous batteries would always be flat after a few weeks). So when my partner needed a new battery for her Merc, it was the obvious choice, especially at £80 through Euro Car Parts ebay shop. Absolute bargain!

Fitted this to my 2007 honda civic 2.2 diesel type s. I've had this car for 3 years. Battery fitted was on it's way out. With bosch battery it turns over faster than anytime I've owned car. Now starts immediately. Brilliant battery
