Owner reviews for battery

My '11 Fit had a aftermarket 151R battery. Mine occasionally produced a similar noise such as this on cold day starts. I think the noise stems from the starter, perhaps the starter solenoid that doesn't retract after you release the key from start position. My issue went away after I replaced the battery

After reading all replies and knowing the price of the dealers option, I took my chance with a Exide battery AGM 12-23, it was a perfect fit.

I have a 2014 brz and power wise the only thing I've changed is an optima red top battery when my orm battery died. It does have a out twice the cca as the stock battery so maybe it helps.

These were very very well made batteries. They also used to be insanely expensive. Now, BMW knows the game and offers a 2 year warranty, which is pretty low for batteries, but they are very competitively priced.

I changed the battery in my 2011 A5 with no issues, but i connected a jump pack to the terminals before I disconnected them. It maintained power to the car -- took the old battery out and put the new one in. No issues. Went with a Champion battery -- 4 year replacement....

Panasonic made batteries for Subaru years ago, black top and white case that you could just barely see through. Those bastards would run 7 or 8 years consistently before being replaced….

My 2021 45e usually gets 30-34 in mild southern US weather per charge.

2020 SR+ 51K I get about 229 miles at 100%, advertised range was 250 when it was purchased new.

I had Subaru batteries last me only 2 years in upstate NY. I kept getting them for free under warranty. I probably got 4 this way. Finally, the dealer said your alternator is bad and that's why they are going bad (completely bogus). I started going to a local mechanics soon after that and they told me that super OEM batteries are complete garbage.

10 years ago, in Florida, I bought the red top battery for my F250 diesel. It blew up under the hood and sprayed battery juice on everything. It was only a few months old. Discount Auto replaced it for free under warranty. But I wouldn't buy another red top.
