I got a `EA530 exide 079te` for my leaf just over a year ago and so far it's still working perfect.
Exide are great batteries and are a tier 1 supplier with Yuasa, Bosch, Varta.
IMHO, Exide works well till the last second and then dies off without any symptoms. Amaron shows alot of symptoms like extra cranking and lights dim for interior and dash lights when it's nearing its demise. Hence I moved to amaron. So should you.
After reading all replies and knowing the price of the dealers option, I took my chance with a Exide battery AGM 12-23, it was a perfect fit.
Left with exide crap.
I don't think they are good at inverters, but I have used their battery for ups which lasted 4 years, now i am using the second one which completed one year
VW lists 3 batteries, 1 AGM (68 Ah, Varta) and 2 flooded (72 Ah, Varta and 59 Ah, Exide) that may be used.
However, I have had nothing but bad experiences with Exide batteries. I've bought three, and all have died within 2 years.
This one looks like it’s in very good shape, I’ve seen similar for sale for $200 to $300 but the couple I’ve seen at auction sold for $80 and $110 if my memory is correct. Both where in much worse shape than yours.
We’ve been using Luminous inverter with an Exide battery for about a year now. No issues so far, works well to provide backup for about 4 hours.
