Older vehicles with modest electrical demands require a dependable, cost-effective battery that delivers reliable cold-weather starting without over-specifying capacity. The Bosch S3 002 is a 12V, 45Ah lead-acid battery rated at 400A CCA (EN), purpose-built as an economical replacement solution for cars with few electrical consumers and no start-stop system.
Manufactured using Bosch's proprietary PowerFrame? grid technology, the S3 002 benefits from a robust cast grid structure that improves conductivity, reduces internal resistance, and resists corrosion over the battery's service life. The labyrinth lid design minimises electrolyte loss, contributing to fully maintenance-free operation under normal driving conditions. Robust carry handles are integrated into the case for safe, controlled installation.
The S3 002 measures 207mm × 175mm – 190mm (L × W × H) and weighs 11.57kg. It features a Type 0 terminal configuration (positive terminal right) and is secured via a B13 hold-down clamp. This unit cross-references to battery Type 012, making it a direct replacement for a wide range of compatible European passenger car applications. It is not suitable for start-stop vehicles.
The S3 range is available in multiple capacities to suit different vehicle requirements; alternative variants include the S3 000, S3 001, S3 003, S3 004, S3 005, S3 006, S3 016, and S3 017.
This battery is supplied with a 3-year warranty, providing assurance of consistent starting performance and service life under everyday driving conditions.
