Product Number: S3012
Variations
Older vehicles with modest electrical demands require a dependable, cost-effective battery that delivers reliable cold-start performance without unnecessary complexity. The Bosch S3 012 is a 12V 88Ah lead-acid starter battery engineered precisely for that application, offering consistent cranking power across a broad range of conventional petrol and diesel cars not equipped with start-stop systems.
Built around Bosch's proprietary PowerFrame? grid technology, the S3 012 features a continuously cast, expanded metal grid that improves conductivity, reduces internal resistance, and enhances corrosion resistance compared with conventional stamped-grid designs. The labyrinth lid minimises electrolyte loss and helps maintain optimal acid levels throughout the battery's service life, contributing to its 100% maintenance-free operation under normal conditions.
The S3 012 measures 353mm × 175mm – 175mm (L × W × H) and weighs 19.78 kg. It carries Terminal Type 1, Hold-Down B13, Polarity 0 (positive terminal left), and delivers 740A cold cranking amps (EN). It corresponds to BCI/trade type 024 and cross-references Bosch part number 588 403 074. This battery is not suitable for start-stop vehicles.
This product is also available in closely related variants: S3 007 (PID000138443), S3 008 (PID000138444), and S3 013 (PID000138445), covering adjacent fitment and capacity requirements within the S3 range.
The Bosch S3 012 is supplied with a 3-year warranty, providing assurance of reliable service life under everyday driving conditions.
Standard delivery: 1–3 working days within UK mainland. 30-day returns.
