Questions & Answers for Bosch Bosch 12V Silver Car Battery HSB096

Question
Please advise terminal layout & type
I don't see on your web site an illustration or description of terminal layout or type. In other respects battery HSB096 seems to be an almost identical match for the Varta 12v L3 450/720 (EN) MF on my vehicle. This has positive terminal at front left of battery and negative(earth) at front right of battery (viewed from battery front).

Wrong way round, viewing from the front with the terminals nearest to you the positive is on the right and negative on the left.

If you look at the battery from the end, with the terminals on the left side, the positive is nearest you and the negative is furthest away

The positive terminal is on the front right of this battery. You can find the correct battery for you vehicle by going to "Car Maintenance" then "Car batteries" on our website and either inputting your registration number or selecting make and model.

If it's a sealed battery (i.e. no maintenance) used 'sealed' otherwise the battery could get hot

It shouldn't really make any difference although I would just use the standard setting, as although this is an advanced type of battery its designed for normal car use and as such is not especially critical as far as charging is concerned, that is not in the same way as a non-spillable sealed cell device would be that DOES require current monitoring to avoid cell overheating.
