Yellow top is/was a hybrid cranking/deep cycle battery, once popular for putting big stereo systems in cars because it could handle the discharge cycles of running the system without them engine running.
Tried them all at some point and whatever BMW OE does to those they last 2-3X longer. I literally just replaced a 14 year old battery last September….fuckin insane longevity with the OEM ones.
As someone who bought their first Prius V (Lithium Ion- Australian Model) in 2013 No issues with any degradation in battery from 12 years ago.
After 16 years and 140k miles, our Prius battery is still going strong.
At 10 years and 330,000 kms my Volt battery didn't even show degradation.
Not hating on you but this usually happens with low quality batteries, it's good you had warranty and got it replaced but next time just go for Amaron or Solite, they're excellent and last 2 years minimum.
Per VW service manual, disconnect if you're going to charge above 14.4V, never charge above 15V. You'd have to watch voltage while charging to see where the noco goes. My noco used to go slightly above 16V. Nothing exploded but the battery didn't last very long
My experience: Stay away from Bosch.
Always like Duracell because I hate that damn bunny. But doesn't matter to me right now because my damn RMR is defective and drains the battery in 3 months.
Yes, I have had this tablet for less than a year with moderate to medium use and I am already looking for a replacement. I am looking to do it myself and I am not that skilled but I will give it a go, but it isn't great that the battery is already needing a charge once a day even with "battery saver mode" applied.
