Renault clio - confusion on Start stop Batteries - malct

For the last month, The warning light is on the start and stop, So good chance that the battery is on its way out since the car is now over 5 years old

Looking at new batteries, Its so confusing when looking on buying a battery, Take for instance euro car parts, Put in my reg number and gives me a range of batteries

One that stands out is the Bosch S5 Car Battery 096 with a 50% discount code , Yah , I guess its never been at full price, But starts that its not stop start but yet looking on another site alpha-batteries, It states in the description S5A08 12V 096 Stop Start Car Battery by Bosch

Bosch S5 High Performance AGM™ Batteries provide excellent charge acceptance & peak power for vehicles with start/stop systems

There are other sellers saying its not suitable for stop start, Any advice will be welcomed

Thanks

Malc

Euro car parts is well known for getting parts wrong. I get listed three types of fuel filter where only one will fit, two brake disc sizes, and spark plugs - for my diesel engined car!
