hi, can anyone tell me if this is suitable for my e53
BOSCH S4 013
800 AMP
95AH

Been doing lots bits/pieces on car in last couple months but not much driving, (doors open starting stopping etc) disconnecting re connecting battery, current battery starts car ok but if leave doors boot open for 5/10 min it goes flat. Also noticed on the journeys I have done the clock has 00.00 every time I set off, and satnav keeps going back to split screen and prospective setting needs putting on again. I'm presuming battery needs changing from what I've read.

No.  Needs to be an 019 format.  At least 830CCA too.  95Ah is OK though.

Thanks x5sport, I'm confused.  :blink: Just done quick check on euro parts and the listing Says s4 019 but it's got 013 on battery, how can I tell difference between the 2.

thats the exact one ive just bought for my x5

Think I might just put it on and see how it goes, make sure I've got my booster pack in boot or my aa card in my wallet ha, will it cause any serious problems apart from electrical gremlins if any if it is incorrect for the car.

013 and 019 interchangeable I believe

yep that number crosses over to an 019 so it'll do nicely

how much was it if you dont mind me asking ??

Thanks mate, it was given to me a several months ago buy a family member who bought it for there car but was to big, but europarts selling for £115/120. With 4 yr warranty.

Try parts4less too.

Leave it in the basket and they send you a code for 7.5% off before the next day.

So S3, S4 or S5 will do. The numbers indicate how many years warranty you get.

Got my S5 from eurocarparts 2/3 years back for £84.

ive just put a yuasa 5 year on mine .... i wont say how much because i got staff discount

Sorry been away.  A Bosch S4013 (no gap) is an 019 format battery.

Bosch make S4 batteries in all models and the S4 013 (with a gap) is a different battery about 2/3rds the width and is called an S4002.  Confused?  Me too!
