Owner reviews for battery

I had my battery moment on my 2011 Outback, I bought a Duralast Gold 640 CCA and it's been working fine ever since.

I purchased 2 as a drop in replacement for an old 1400VA APC UPS.

I couldn't find the datasheet on the bosch website but I found out via a few online posts that these batteries are actually manufactured by Exide.

They put in bigger batteries into the new III series cameras, and after using one for a bit, the improvement is drastic. with my a6300, I would go through ~2-3 batteries on a day trip, but with the a9 and it's new battery, you can comfortably get through a day without worrying about the battery.

Optima battery recommended. Expensive but large capacity for emergencies.

I have become a BIG fan of yellow top optima batteries. Mine tests out OVER 1000 CCA (only about a year old) sealed- Acid can never leak out. Deep cycle, you can run it dead without damage. Good warranty, The the batteries are built to take extreme vibrations, and have a superior design to connect the plates inside with a more solid connection.

Just got off the phone with my dealer to check, just in case they had a different update. Turns out my VIN has a recall on the battery. He stated as long as it's under 3 yr/36k it's eligible for replacement. Something to do with the connection was the reason for recall. Needless to say I have an appt. next week for a free battery replacement. My 2016 is at 2 yr/22k. I've had no issues myself other than the time it died while I was fiddling around in VCDS in the garage with the light switch in Auto (clearly my fault) :banghead: Thanks for the free battery replacement VW :thumbup:

Took my car to the dealership last week for warranty work on a leaking water pump and they told me that there was a recall on my battery. Battery was replaced the same day, had no prior notice of the recall before the visit.

The stock VW battery in my Jetta was 380CCA, and it started on super cold mornings alot quicker/easier than this 600CCA Everstart ive got in there now.

I own a 2006 Ford F-350 with a 6.0, have always ran Motorcraft brand batteries(I work for Ford) but lately I feel like they are not as good of quality as they have always been. My current set is just shy of 3 years old and both are now testing bad. I do have a permanently mounted battery tender that I plug in almost every night and the charging system and cables are in excellent shape.

In March of this year I replaced my battery for 98 Civic Ex with an autozone Ac Delco one. With the colder days I started to notice slower cranks if the car had been sitting a day or longer.
