TE with EFB technology:
Innovation for high performance demands
EFB technology
(Enhanced Flooded Battery)
Patented PowerFrame® (grid) for
optimum current flow and reduced corrosion
The flow-optimized grid design of the PowerFrame® guarantees consistently high starting
power and a long service life. In addition, a
special alloy ensures a high corrosion resistance
and significantly lower
self-discharge.
▶ EFB – with positive plate
coated with polyester scrim
In EFB (Enhanced Flooded
Battery) technology, the
positive plate is coated with
a so-called polyester scrim
providing additional retention
of the active material on the
plate. The TE battery there
fore features an improved
deep-cycle resistance compared to conventional batteries
and remains operational even
if there are strong vibrations.
The Bosch TE battery with EFB has been designed to meet especially high performance demands.
It reliably provides energy for extremely demanding starting conditions while ensuring the reliable
supply of a large number of applications – even under extremely tough and straining conditions.
Labyrinth lid for high operational safety
The double lid with labyrinth design ensures that
evaporated liquid remains inside the battery. This
makes the TE absolutely maintenance-free and
leak-proof.
Ergonomic handles
For easy transport and installation.
Additional stabilization for
shock resistance
Deep-cycle resistance ensured by
stabilizing the connectors in the
rear cells and by hot gluing all
connectors to the plate.
Mixing elements prevent
acid layering
For improving mixing of
the electrolyte and to
prevent acid layering.
The consequence: longer
service life and improved
deep-cycle resistance.
Ion-permeable pocket separator
Prevents contact between positive and
negative plate – for longer service life
and higher starting power.

The central arrangement of the connectors
between positive and negative plates ensures
additional stability.

This provides additional retention of the active material

Labyrinth lid: high level of safety
The labyrinth lid of Bosch commercial-vehicle batteries

Frequent starts and stops in urban traffic and multiple electronic
consumers often result in a negative energy balance. The Bosch
TE battery has a high capacity for enhanced feasibility of frequent
charging and discharging. This significantly increases, for instance,
the energetic efficiency during start/stop operations. The high
deep-cycle resistance is especially beneficial for long-haul trucks
whose batteries support various convenience functions. The
outcome: reliable long-term operation.

The Bosch T4 battery for heavy-duty operation – safety without
compromise
No leaking battery acid, even when operating on slopes – preventing
corrosion damage in the long term. The solid battery design prevents
changes to the mechanical structure, even when subject to vibration
for extended periods. Constant, safe and reliable power supply is thus
ensured.
