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.
Got a Japanese one: Varta Automotive EFB Car Battery Q-85/115D23L 12v 70Ah 660A (EN) just over 1/2 the price of an Australian made Q-85. Got 6.5 years out of original from Japan 2019 using stop start most of the time.
Varta’dan vazgecmeyin. Zamaninda bahsettiginiz markalari kullandim 2 yil sonrasinda yolda kaldim. Kendi aracimdaki aku de Varta.
Clio 2014 aracım vardı s&s lu orijinal aküsünden sonra mutlu akü kullandım memnun kalmadım şuan Varta kullanıyorum çok memnunum ben yerinde olsam risk almam vartadan devam ederim
Halt nur die Klassiker, alle 15j mal eine Batterie tauschen oder die wasserpumpe.
However, the choice that I currently consider most balanced in terms of performance/duration/cost is the VARTA Silver Dynamic AGM 95Ah.
Varta working for 6 years
Varta are the best ones I ever used. I use them in my car key too and its the only battery that lasts years instead of 2 months at most.
I still use a factory Audi (Varta) from 2014, so 11 years, but I'm not sure it will survive the first -15-25C this winter.
My VARTA on the e46 compact lasted 8years
