Best Battery for Volkswagen Golf

I got just over 7 years from the factory Varta battery in my old 2015 MK7. It was the smaller H4 size and always started flawlessly in the Canadian winter. It ended up failing in the early summer. It cranked rather slowly one morning and the voltage refused to go above 12.3, even after charging. It barely started when I went to get the new battery. I was lucky enough to not get stranded.

Im still on the original battery despite it being outside on -35 unplugged.

Change mine in my 2016 Golf R to this battery and it's been great. EFB shite didn't even last the first 3yrs.

When I needed a new battery for my Golf mk6, they were the cheapest and I had peace of mind because I was given the OEM approved brand.

Just did that on my 19 gsw, no battery management extra thing to deal with, just the two connectors and obd11 for coding to fleece (not binary agm). Only issue I have is the battery blanket doesn't fit the bigger size.

Just had a 5yo Napa battery die, put a new Duralast Platinum Elite in there, back to running normal except 2 things: 1/ Random engine fan activation seems to be what killed the previous battery. Still happening.

I had a Red Top Optima battery, but it’s so dead that even my NOCO AGM charger won’t recognize or charge it.

Aracım 2012 model 1.4 tsi golf 7, aracımın güncel aküsü artık dipleri oynuyordu, marşı 3-4 defa basınca alıyordu, bende bu sebeple aküyü değiştirdim, aynı şekilde mutlu akü yerine efb start/stop destekleyen varta aküden 72 amper aldım, önceki akü de 72 amperdi. Aküyü taktık ve de yakıt dibin dibindeydi, gittim benzin aldım ve aldıktan hemen sonra epc ışığı yaktı, araç epc’yi yakınca gaz yemiyor, max. 20 km’yi geçmiyor. Gaz kelebeğini temizledik, yakıt deposuna kurum temizliği için ilaç döktük ilk etapta söndü ama tekrar yaktı. Ecu’dan aküyü tanımlatıp beyin sıfırlaması yapılması gerekiyormuş sanırsam, bunu henüz yaptırmadım yarın yaptıracağım ama bu aküden sebep midir? Eski o bitik akü’de bile böyle bir problem vermemişti.

I've got an essentially new Golf R only about 3 months old and I think my battery is no good. I keep it connected to a battery tender as I dont'drive it often. Even after a week of being connected it never reaches full charge. Also, After I discomnect I put a quick load on it by turning on the lights in order to remove the surface charge from the battery tendder. Prior to putting the load on and just after disconnecting the battery tender the rading is 12.8Votls. After putting the load on by turning on the lights for a minute the voltage reading then drops to 12.28 which seems awfully load. I'm assuming my battery is no good.

the battery in my 2016 died while JUST inside the 36k warranty. the OEM replacement lasted another 30k or so. bought an AGM replacement from Costco, but I don't expect it to last any longer.
