Owner reviews for battery

I’d go for Vatra. Massively popular in Finland where it often gets lower than -30 in winters. I had mine on an F10 and the car was stationary for 2 weeks with average temp of around -15 degrees. Zero problem

I use oem bc I get discounted price else I’d use optima, bc I personally on my cars with optimas have never had a problem and oldest is coming up on 9 years

I quick charged my Leaf over 350 times in 2 years and it barely degraded the battery.

I'm in Australia, and pay $A250 for a Delkor AGM S46B24R or $A340 for a Optima DS46B24R.

Acum recent am schimbat bateria la mașină, am dat în jur de 530 de lei, baterie de la Varta. Eu am optat pentru varianta la 530 că am renunțat la funcția start-stop, altfel costa aprox. 800 de lei. Cel puțin din experiența personală, este o marcă super oke dpdv al raportului calitate-pret. Înainte de schimb tot Varta am avut, bateria originală de când a ieșit din fabrică (2013)

I went to the store and traded the core of my perfectly "good" DieHard Gold (~18 mos old) and spent $400 on an Optima Yellow Top. The difference was immediate. Interior lights were brighter, mirrors functioned normally, no 'system off' garbage, truck opened and closed without hesitation. It starts strong and fast. With the temperature dropping, the peace of mind has been 100% worth the price. I even put the portable jump starter back in the garage. It worked.

On a Jetta, it will leave you stranded, and it being a VW, the symptoms will be nothing like a dead battery, most likely.

I have two Honda City and the first one had the battery changed after the first year, I knew this wasn't normal and Honda insisted that's perfectly normal.

It all boils down to the idling stop feature, to allow that feature these cars use a specific type of battery, but even then the idling stop completely destroys the battery, on top of being useless.

I've had the Tab S9 since launch and the battery has always been naff. It's a great tablet let down by lousy battery life.

I had this happen in my 2020 outback around 37k miles. Dead battery was the culprit. Fortunately I shut off all my electronics and lights and it had just enough power to get it to restart. I got the battery replaced by Subaru under the extended 5 year warranty from a settlement for premature battery failure. It failed right after my 36k service at the dealer I think the car was about 4 years old at the time.
