General specifications
For batteries there are a large number of mandatory characteristics that ensure the quality of work. This line has several common indicators, these are the main characteristics that guarantee work.
- All car batteries have the same voltage - 12 volts.
- The polarity can be either European (reverse, plus on the right) or Russian (direct, plus on the left). Consider this when choosing.
- The minimum level of self-discharge.
- Case type is European and ASIA.
- All batteries are completely maintenance free.
All of the above are the main features of the line. For each variety, the parameters of weight, capacity and others will vary. If you take the capacity in ah, it covers almost all car models, a sufficient number of options are offered.
Bosch S5 Silver Plus
This battery has an increased inrush current, according to tests carried out in comparison with analogs, this parameter is 30% higher. There are a number of mechanisms that protect the car's electrical system from overloads. Effectively works at low temperatures.
It is also the only option in the line that fits JIS standards. This is evidenced by the additional marking ASIA (designed for Asian cars). In the lineup there are batteries with a capacity of 52 to 110 Ah and a starting current of 520 to 900 amperes.

I purchased a Bosch s5 Silver Plus battery with a car in the passenger compartment. I’ve been traveling for the fifth year.
Fedor, 41
When I was advised by Bosch S5A AGM (Start / stop), I did not believe in the specified characteristics. But, since at that time there was nothing suitable for my car, I had to take it. For all this time I did not regret it. The battery is working perfectly.
