What do users say? AI-generated summary

Users generally appreciate the battery’s long lifespan and reliable starting performance. They report that it has worked well in different cars and that they have replaced it with the same model several times. However, some say their most recent batteries lasted only 1.5–2.5 years, raising concerns about consistent quality.

    My first contact with the Bosch S3 was in December 2014 when I was in the army and I went and put a USED battery in my car (it was produced in early 2011) to last me about a year. (A couple of friends had put S4 batteries at the time...)
    I finally changed it in April 2017!!! During this time, it had discharged due to a forgotten light being left on for a weekend (my friends with S4 batteries changed them within 3 years and even earlier).
    As of January 2022, I still have my battery from 2017 and it starts the car without any problems in the winter and with the expected voltage drop during ignition. If I manage to find a battery analyzer, I will upload a photo of the current measurement.

    In Xsara N1 Citroen, I have installed this battery twice. The first time it lasted me 6 years. The second time, it lasted six years and 10 months. Considering its cost, its performance is very good. I highly recommend it.

    I have installed a total of 4 of these in three different cars that I had since 2000!
    In the first 2, they were simply awesome, they lasted comfortably for over 6 years. I have changed the last 2 in my latest vehicle within 5 years! Their lifespan was 2 to 2.5 years, and at the moment, without any leakage (I have checked), I am going for the 3rd in a row, the 2nd in this car failed in 1.5 years, so I recharged it and now I am careful until it completely fails for replacement again!
    ..in short: their quality has changed a lot for the worse, even though they claim to be made in Germany, I don't know to what extent it is true that they are made in Turkey or the Czech Republic. I do not recommend the new ones!

    Update: Eventually, it was replaced with a Varta!... Not that it turned out better though! And from a reliable source, Bosch and Varta are no longer manufactured in Germany!... Only their very large and expensive models are... for both companies! My opinion is to avoid them now!

    I have bought 2 of these and I wouldn't even want to see them again, the first one lasted about 2 years and the second one didn't even last 1.5 years.
    I took the first one back to where I bought it and they caused damage to the power unit, I took the second one back to the same store and they started with "I took it to the company, it's not possible, the damage is not covered by warranty" etc. and I left disgusted.
    They are not made in Germany like they used to be, but Turkish for many years now, that's why you can find them everywhere and often on "sale". I haven't used Bosch since then because their quality has dropped and they only sell based on their old reputation!
