After half a year, I stopped holding the charge, at home the charge also does not recover, and even the battery is not serviced. In general, I do not recommend buying this battery, buying it you just throw money away.
For all 3 years of painful exploitation, he had to be recharged periodically and more than once. I am a regular customer of Bosch and so until recently I did not want to believe that such a well-known manufacturer had problems with battery. I do not recommend purchasing these batteries.
I don’t think it makes sense to overpay for a brand! Bosch unfortunately is not the same "German" impeccable quality. Two years later, he stopped holding the charge and every day it gets worse and worse, the service life is too short, and the price is above average.
I bought a car battery Bosch S4 Silver 60 Ah, and ran into a fake. He took the battery at the beginning of winter, when he ordered the old battery to live for a long time. I read various tests and reviews before this. It seems like the Bosch S4 battery was not at its last roles there and made a choice in his favor. It’s good that I bought for only 3K for some sale. This in the course of the sale of fakes they had.
In general, a year later this S4 Silver battery began to discharge in the parking lot, and a year later it completely lost its capacity. I went to the battery men, they measured the capacity with some device and said that 15 Ah out of 60 remained. Here is such an S4 Silver battery for its leg like that.
out of service, poorly resuscitated, dear.
The service life is 2 years and 2 months. Today I purchased Akum from another company, Bosch is unlikely to ever buy it. Once deeply planted, Bosch can immediately be carried to scrap. The first winter was more or less normal. the second winter in cold weather he dragged him home into the heat. died in the fall in warm weather. I put a 4-year-old Siberia or Tyumen before the purchase of a new Akum (the stickers were torn off by the economic name), I checked the density, charged and skated. failed at minus 20. and Bosch failed at 20!
A year and a half did not know any problems.
Weak for two years. There are cheaper counterparts.
I had to tinker a lot with this battery, it used to be necessary to take it home in the winter because at sub-zero temperatures. 25 was a full discharge. I won’t take it anymore, not for winter.
The Bosch S4 battery appeared on my car by accident. I did not plan to take it, but during a trip to another city the old battery died and had to be replaced. And in the service, where there were no others. In general, I had no problems with this battery, with the exception of winter. As soon as the thermometer column drops below 20 C, the car more often does not start than it starts. A friend has the same trambles. Only he has a Bosch S3 model.

small, just for Geely MK
Cannot check level and density
The Bosch S4023 battery of release of 11.2013, is dead. He stood on the street for 3 weeks (from December 23, 2017 to January 10, 2018) and stopped starting the car (Geely MK). (Previously, the car was in a warm garage). You recharge it and it is discharged even without load. Does not hold a charge. He opened it. The fluid is clean. In the first bank it is not enough, in the rest it is a normal level. The density in the first 1.1 in the rest of 1.2. How could this happen, from the very beginning it was underfilled or it evaporated somewhere. Battery Number: G1C3110710027. Judging by the manufacturer number, Spain is the city of Guardamar.
Sincerely, Dmitry, a pensioner, a car enthusiast.
After a year of inactivity immediately wound up, in general, I am satisfied.
I think that Bosch S4 024 car batteries are one of the best in their class. Capacity 60 Ah, starting current 450 A. This battery lasted 5.5 years, including 5 winters. I agree that the market is full of counterfeit Bosch batteries, but this does not degrade their dignity.
My battery was in an Asian form factor and worked with virtually no problems. Only in the last year of operation began to require periodic charging from the charger. I recommend the battery for the car Bosch S4, as a quality and reliable product.
Great, long lasting battery. I have been exploiting for about 5 years, only that she died. I came for a new one
In the Trans-Baikal frosts, the M54V22 engine twists with a bang (oil 5W40)
A comment:
The downside is perhaps that the battery is maintenance free, although it’s like someone. There is no charge indicator. They write that it is possible to serve if desired and with direct hands.
plowed 2 winters great Akum

I bought in return the same one that lasted 5 years. I decided not to wait when he dies completely, but sold for 1000 rubles and bought a new identical
It has been working for 10 years, has never failed. The price is quite satisfied, frost, heat all on the drum. A big plus is maintenance free.
Frost resistance
I bought myself such a battery 2 years ago. For 2 years I have never charged. The charge keeps excellent even in winter at freezing temperatures. I recommend this battery.
I really love and trust Bosh products for many, many years, and especially everything that they do for cars! Already in my third car I buy only batteries for them!
And actually such a battery is already my second in my Toyota. the first served faithfully for 5 years, and for all his time only once "lit up" and that, I repent, is my fault. during hellish snowfall with the engine turned off, for a long time stood with might and main working heating of all seats, climate (heating to a maximum almost) and wipers. Maybe it would have served longer. but a couple of months the car was forced to stop and never start, and then it was replaced (although it still stands in the garage after charging the pulse. I connect the light in the basement from it, but it’s probably lost a lot. it’s quickly discharged).
As a result, I bought the same one in exchange, and the price was very sane (end of 2016. 1600 UAH, i.e. about 65 dollars).
What does it compact. which is important, many batteries of the same capacity and inrush current are larger in size (just a couple did not fit into my car). I’m not complaining yet, everything is fine with the past, and I haven’t failed yet. Even in very cold weather, after a couple of days of inactivity, I started the car with a bang!
Very good battery, like all the equipment of the company "Bosch". Quality fully lives up to its value. With relatively small sizes, the battery capacity (60 Ah) is confirmed by its service life without recharging. With proper operation of the car, you can simply forget about the chargers and starting devices. Very low self-discharge of the battery, which allows you to easily start a car after a long parking, even with the alarm turned on (this drawback is inherent in many cheap Ukrainian-made batteries). At the same time, the price of the battery is comparable to the cost of similar products of most Russian manufacturers. Therefore. RECOMMEND.
