Owner reviews for battery

Threw a redtop Optima in mine...3yr warranty...no issues

I put my optima in with no issues

A battery from VW was actually cheaper and had a better warranty than what Advance was trying to sell me. So I just bought the battery from the dealer, installed myself, then returned the old one for the core refund.

Since replacing my battery on 12/18 this code has not returned. The only symptom I've noticed is it appears my battery is going. When I start it in the morning it struggles and then is ok the rest of the day. However just leaving the radio on, without the car being on, for 20 mins or so will drain the battery and the car will barely turn over.

I replaced mine also with the G14 and no problem at all, so it should work or your old battery broke becasuse of a defective module jorg

Here is a picture of the left battery that the factory put in my W12 when it was new. As you can see, it is labelled both 'Varta DE' and 'VW AG'.

I have mine VARTA battery since the car was made in 2006. Works like a charm. Great Batteries.

So I've been looking to replace the stock battery doesn't seem to hold a charge as well as before. Always wanted to put an Optima Yellow Top in it

Optima batteries have slowly gone to shit since they were bought by Johnson Controls.

Their batteries have never been great, and they've always failed prematurely for myself and several others.
