Owner reviews for battery

Last batteries I’ve owned where Exide Sonnak, very happy with price, longevity and performance.

My last experience from them was a yellow top from 2015 that I got for my '01 Mustang. Had it for 4+ years starting up just fine and survived despite having been drained dead 5 times or so. Sold the car before the battery died.

I have one of these and its been perfect for 5 years with a 700watt sound system on a v8 truck.

I got an already fully charged duracell battery at my local Batteries and Bulbs location in California. Works like a charm just needed to get top posts for it to work in the i3.

I had one. It lasted a good seven years. Still good quality, its worth it if you can swing the price.

My red top from 08/09 finally let go last week it has already been replaced by another red top. Highly recommended.

I knew the original battery in my '08 R32 was getting weak by the difficulty it had cranking the engine, but it always started, even through this past winter (175K miles). Went to unlock it after work on a Friday and the car was dead...seems I left the headlights on, and even though the car shuts them off automatically after a while, the battery was so shot that it completely died. Two Triple-A guys came to give me a jump; the first wasn't strong enough and the relay just buzzed, the second had more powerful equipment and got me going. It started the next morning, and I headed to Pep Boys for a new Champion AGM battery, which works great now.

Just use a Deka ETX20L. I think they're 15 pounds or so and they're cheap and widely available. Mine seem to last about 2-3 years, although they usually die from me forgetting to turn the headlights off. I was able to recharge my last one using a wall charger and I squeezed another 6 months out of it before finally replacing it.

Duracell killed 6 pieces of electronics of mine over 10 years. If you paid me, I would not use them.

We refuse to buy Duracell. They leak and are awful. Never again.
