Alternator with brakeenergy recuperation6Current supply 12VCommunicationHydraulic lines / brake systemsVehicle systems have changed significantly over the last 20years. Most new vehicles now have a battery managementsystem which manages the charge level of the battery byswitching on and off the alternator. Some new vehiclesutilize a battery management system to enable the car tostop when the car is at idle and automatically start whenthe brake pedal is released. This is called start-stoptechnology. In order to cope with the high battery load,start-stop vehicles require a specific battery technology:AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) or EFB (Enhanced FloodedBattery).There has been a significant increase in the use of startstop systems over recent years and the technology is nolonger just for prestigious vehicles. With the trend towardsfuel savings and emission reductions, there is now asignificant number of vehicles on the road with start-stopsystems. It is estimated that by 2017 the majority ofEuropean and a large percentage of North American andAsian manufactured new passenger vehicles will beequipped with start-stop systems.Start-stop system diagnosis and servicing involve highlyspecialized work which can best be performed with topclass diagnostic technology available from Bosch.Many new vehicles and most start-stop vehicles require adiagnostic scan tool to program the battery into theelectronic control unit of the vehicle.Bosch can provide the product, tools and supportrequired, to keep ahead of a rapidly changing workshop.Start-stop2007Bosch Automotive Aftermarket0099 Batteries Sect A.indd 4Without start-stopStart-stopNumber of new vehicles 520092011201320152017201427/02/2014 4:45 pm

A 6 S SeriesS Series - Passenger and LightCommercial Vehicle BatteriesThe Bosch S3 and S3 Battery is an economicsolution, suitable for awide range ofpassenger and lightcommercial vehicleswith few energyconsumingcomponents.It provides dependablestarting power and ismaintenance free.The S4 is a mid-rangeoption that meets theelectrical demands ofa wide range ofvehicles. It has highpower and capacitycapable of deliveringdependable power forvehicles with highenergy demands andis maintenance free.The S5 is a premiumbattery specificallydesigned with SilverAlloy Technology,which surpassesinternationalstandards set byoriginal equipmentmanufacturers.Even at extremetemperatures the S5provides safe andpowerful energysupply for highlysophisticated, energyconsumingcomponents.The Bosch S6 featuresAGM technology(Absorbent Glass Mat),which is one of the latesttechnologies on themarket today. Dynamicrecharging capability andup to 4 times the numberof discharge / chargecycles compared toconventional starterbatteries means that theBosch S6 with AGMtechnology meets thetoughest requirements.This is a must for startstop systems but also forvehicles with a highnumber of electricalconvenience functions.Features/BenefitsS3/S3 S4S5S6 - AGM*Application(Refer B section)Low technologyvehicleMedium technologyvehicleHigh technologyvehicleOnly suitable for originalequipment AGMapplicationsPower Output(Refer pg A13)CCACCACCAOE SpecificationTechnologyExpanded grid CalciumCalcium technologyprovides long servicelifeHigh density expandedgrid Calcium-Calciumtechnology provideslonger service lifeCalcium-Silvertechnology resists heatand corrosion providingextra long service lifeAbsorbent Glass Mat(AGM) technologyprovides high chargeacceptance and cyclicabilityConstructionLabrynth Lid DesignLabrynth Lid DesignLabrynth Lid Design100% SpillproofState of ChargeIndicator Warranty*(Refer pg A31)24 Month36 Month36 Month24 Month (Start-Stop use),36 Month (Normal Use)Approximately 30%higher power thanconventional batteryHigh charge acceptanceand deep cyclic abilityExtra Features*The S6 AGM battery is only suitable for original equipment AGM applications.

Bothpositive and negative grids, consist of a lead calcium alloyand contain no antimony. The use of lead calcium alloyenables the water consumption to be reduced to less than1gram/Ah compared to conventional lead acid batterieswhich use greater than 4grams/Ah. During the wholelifespan of a lead acid calcium-calcium battery, noelectrolyte needs to be added.Furthermore, thanks to the lead-calcium alloy used for theplate grids, the 100% maintenance-free battery‘s startingpower remains practically unchanged for years.Batteries equipped with this technology are:S3, S3 , S4, M3 and M4.Bosch Calcium-Silver MF TechnologyBosch calcium-silver technology is 100% maintenance andantimony free. In calcium-silver batteries, the positive gridcontains calcium and silver alloy. Even at hightemperatures the grid is very durable against corrosiondue to the silver alloy, resulting in a better lifespan andbetter resistance to overcharging.Due to the thin but stronger plate design, calcium-silvertechnology has approximately 30% higher starting powerthan conventional batteries.Batteries equipped with this technology are:S5 and T5.Bosch Labrynth Lid Design with Flame Arrestor Minimizes water consumption Prevents the spilling of electrolyte if the battery istipped over for a short period Prevents backfiring in case of sparksBatteries equipped with this technology are:M3, M4, S3, S3 , S4, S5, T3, T3 , T4, T5.Bosch Automotive Aftermarket0099 Batteries Sect A.indd 10201427/02/2014 4:46 pm

Contrary to batteries with free liquid electrolyte,the sulphuric acid in AGM batteries is bound by glassmats, which is used instead of the separators to fill thespace between positive and negative plates.The Advantages of Bosch Batteries with AGMTechnologyConstant power even for short distances, stop-and-gotraffic or high consumption with the car at a standstill Up to 4 times higher deep-cycle resistance incomparison to conventional starter batteries. Acid is completely bound in microglass fiber mats Excellent charge acceptance Excellent cold starting power Fully sealed and secured against leaks.

You cannot replace an AGM batterywith a conventional battery.Batteries equipped with this technology are:M6, S6 and T6.Bosch Automotive Aftermarket27/02/2014 4:46 pm
