Bosch Batteries – Why We Fit Them
Whatlington, Battle, East Sussex (Near Hastings)
Bosch Batteries Supplied & Fitted
Where possible we use Bosch batteries when renewing or repairing a vehicle. We use the latest Bosch testing equipment to confirm whether a battery is good or bad and then replace with the relevant Bosch battery.
With modern vehicles becoming more reliant on solid, steady power, your battery is a critical component to ensure the car starts reliably and can handle the power requirements needed.
Bosch offer a complete range of batteries to suit virtually every vechicle so please do get in touch if you need to know more. Remember there are specialist batteries made for high power usage vehicles or those which employ start/stop technology.
There is a Bosch battery for virtually every occasion
S3, S4 & S5 PowerFrame
With its S5, S4 and S3 batteries, Bosch offers three made-to-measure battery lines for a great variety of requirements and vehicle types.
The grid with special PowerFrame ® technology – responsible for optimum electricity flow, lower corrosion and a longer service life – is crucial for the performance and reliability of these Bosch batteries.
The S5, S4 and S3 therefore satisfy the stringent international quality requirements for cold starting performance and capacity.
S3 – Grey Labels S4 – Blue Labels S5 – Black Labels
S3, S4, S5 Advantages
100 % maintenance-free
Maximum reliability
Thanks to double backfire protection, which protects the battery from sparks even during transport and when tilted
Sealed battery cover prevents leakage of electrolyte
First-class quality from Bosch
Ergonomic handles for simple installation and easy transport
S4 EFB – Start/Stop Systems
The S4 EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) technology satisfies all requirements that lie somewhere between conventional starter batteries and the S5 AGM.
The S4 EFB is designed for vehicles with start/stop system. Its deep cycle resistance ensures that sufficient energy is available at all times for restarting the vehicle. Even when a large number of energy consumers are in operation in the vehicle during the stop phase, it maintains its excellent starting performance.
S4 Advantages
Longer service life and double the deep cycle resistance of conventional starter batteries
More reliable starting even in extreme temperatures and with a large number of electrical devices
Outstanding charge acceptance and good resistance to short-haul operations
With additional polyester scrim between plate and separator
Leak-proof and tilt-resistant up to 55°
First-class quality from Bosch
Absolutely maintenance-free
S5 For Start/Stop Systems
The constantly growing amount of electric consumers in modern vehicles and special requirements such as start/stop systems and braking-energy recuperation call for top-performance batteries. The Bosch S5 AGM battery delivers the power for frequent starts and stops, and reliably supplies electronic devices during the stop phase.
AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology from Bosch is the leading technology on the market for the most exacting requirements. Special mats of very thin glass fibers hold all the electrolyte, allowing higher amounts of energy to pass through. This enables the Bosch S5 AGM battery to give a top performance.
S5 Advantages
Longer service life and up to 4 times greater deep cycle resistance than conventional starter batteries
Constant power even on short trips, in stop-and-go traffic or high consumption when stationary
Excellent charge acceptance and starting performance with a large number of electrical devices
Absolutely maintenance-free
Leak-proof and suitable for installation in any position

Whatlington Garage have looked after my car for several years. I have always been very happy with their service and there have been a few instances when they went above and beyond to assist me when I had a problem with the car The staff are always helpful and friendly.I would not take my car to any other garage.
After finding this garage I stopped servicing my car in dealership.Another great service received today, very good price, fast, accommodating and professional. Will be definitely returning.
Been using Whatlington Garage for almost 10 years. Ben and his staff have always been professional and trustworthy. Happy to help and give advice. Definitely going above and beyond the standard level of service of other garages locally. Work carried out has always been top notch too. 10/10
"Ben, Katie and the rest of the hardworking, dedicated and wonderfully honest staff that make this place what it is, is a very rare commodity these days. I can’t find words to praise them highly enough. I don’t want to be writing all this anyway; if they get way more popular than they already are, I’ll have to wait longer to get seen, so actually yeah I think you should definitely go somewhere else!"
I came across this garage while searching for one that would offer specialized care to my twenty old Lexus, rather than going to a main dealer. After reading other people's thoughts I sent an email to enquire and received an answer which offered a clear and budget-conscious quote. My car was repaired and serviced with the care I wished for and always with the 'best' advice. I was pleased to drive away knowing that the work delivered was reflected in the quality and within budget. Anyone searching for a trustworthy garage I would fully recommend Whatlington;
These guys are awesome. When our clutch completely went on our journey on a Sunday, I was crazy anxious about finding a garage we could trust.Whatlington Garage were courteous, honest and lovely people to deal with. They managed to fit us into their busy week, and helped us get home before the following weekend.It was a fairly large cost because it was a big problem, but they quoted me and then broke the quote down for me explaining what needed doing and why. They kept the cost fair, and the turnaround time was fantastic.They also provided advice on my gearbox, and provided some advice after I drove home. (Just had my gearbox fixed at a garage closer to home - thank you for flagging it!)I'm only sorry we don't live closer to these guys as this garage would be a gem to have as a local!
The team at Whatlington Garage are one of very few that I can trust to work on mine and my families cars. They are friendly, knowledgeable and do a great job for a fair and reasonable price. Be mindful that because they are that good, they are always busy, so it’s best to book in advance.
Whatlington Garage is on the A21. Although it’s quite small it’s always busy and if you use them you will understand why. They are excellent at what they do, seem to offer unbiased honest advice and charge a reasonable price for an excellent service.
Superb company to deal with. They expertly look after all our cars. Very thorough but also really good value, and they have often charged us less than they should have charged. I'd never want to go anywhere else.
