Bosch Batteries – Optimal
starting power for all vehicles
With the introduction of the Bosch Enhanced Flooded Batteries (EFB ) in 2013 for the South African market,
Bosch has a maintenance free solution for all vehicles on the road; the Silver Calcium range for heavy duty
commercial vehicles, Enhanced Flooded Batteries ( EFB ) for passenger vehicles as well as a range of
Absorbent Glass Mat ( AGM ) batteries.
T
he EFB & AGM batteries from Bosch
incorporate start / stop technology.
Increasing numbers of new passenger
cars manufactured in Europe are equipped
with start/stop systems as standard.
These systems automatically switch the
engine off when the vehicle is stationary,
thereby reducing fuel consumption and
harmful emissions. However, start/stop
systems place ever greater demands on
vehicle batteries. In addition to greater
performance, the batteries must above all
have higher cycle stability compared to
conventional starter batteries.
Bosch EFB or AGM batteries with start/
stop technology satisfy these stringent
demands & provide batteries designed for
vehicles featuring start/stop systems.
But while Bosch EFB & AGM batteries are
designed to meet & exceed the increased
demand from manufacturer’s vehicles
equipped with start/stop technology, they
are a perfect replacement for vehicles
that are not equipped with start/stop
technology. Since much of South Africa’s
vehicle population is older than 10 years,
these batteries are suitable for all vehicles
on the road.

Due to new processing techniques &
new negative plate additives the EFB
has an improved charge acceptance
rate, with the ability to withstand ongoing
charge & discharge up to twice the cycle
life of standard flooded automotive
batteries under stop / start conditions.
The fully framed grids, additives &
advanced processing techniques
maximise the cranking power of the
EFB range.
Bosch has the battery solution for your
vehicle, with nationwide support in
South Africa. Keep your vehicle powered.
