Works OK but don't run it down
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...

Excellent high-spec battery.
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.Read full review...

Excellent battery
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!Read full review...

AMAZING HEAVY DUTY BATTERY - 6 STARS!
Oddly enough I bought a BRAND NEW car with a 3 year warranty and thought it'd never need a new battery for 10 years. The original battery of 480 Amps died only 1 month over the 3 year warranty. So I got this mammoth 780 Amp battery (62.5% MORE POWER yet same size dimensions!) and oh my word. You can just tell after driving my car daily for 3 years; the car starts up much more healthily. The best battery Bosch S5 any owner of old and new car could want and with a 5 year warranty. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, you won't be disappointed. Read full review...

Bosch s5008
I don't care what people say about this
S5 008 Bosch battery, now I have had many cars over the years and bitten by cheaper batteries that really didn't make the grade if you want your car to work throughout the winter months and carry on working under minus 20 conditions then I can recommend this battery s5008
Bosch and have never looked back since ok they are not the cheapest but they are one of the best batteries on the market today ,go on I dare you find a better battery anywhere and a 5 year it's a no brainer, my advice if your gonna buy a battery don't go cheap it never really pays off and you'll be disappointed.
Bosch batteries highly recommended 🙂Read full review...

Best Bosch Battery but cheaper
I was going to buy a Bosch Battery from Costco, I found this one on eBay which was the same price but an S5 for the price of an S4, It comes with a 5 year warranty and far more powerful than the original that was fitted to the car. Very happy and I can highly recommend.Read full review...

Great for BMW 3 Series older cars
I have purchase these batteries in the past and they are perfect for the job.
Easy to fit, just remember to remove the red pegs and off you go!
Great seeing my old car spring back to life straight away.

Marvellous high-capacity battery & great value @ £83.89 Postage Paid.
This is the 2nd Bosch unit I've purchased both for Rover 75 cars
A) The first - for a rare V8 Saloon Automatic with lots of electrical equipment & B) the second for a Diesel Tourer [ Estate ] also requiring a strong battery especially for starting.
The 5 year warranty is clearly a bonus but I'm not expecting to have to invoke it. Read full review...
