Owner reviews for battery

Yep. Varta is a good battery. My battery died this year in March. I replaced it and paid 800 for a Varta battery for my dodge charger. So far so good!

Varta battery refused to die even after 5years mannn that’s a wow ..to add on I don’t use my car often i use fireblade as my daily commute for the last two years..

I e been happy with them in my last 3 vehicles.

My XM3s went from a good 6 hour run time down to 2.5 hours in about 20 months. The last month alone has seen 30 mins wiped off them.

I went with the Varta A4 models bought from a Czech supplier called [Battex.cz](https://Battex.cz).

It's a Tesla thing.

Tesla doesn't keep a buffer zone at the top end of the battery. 100% means 100% in a Tesla. Tesla advises to only use 100% when you need the extra range.

My tesla model y recommendation is 90%. I know lfp batteries are recommended to do 100% at least weekly. We do 90% but drive the car about 100 miles every work day so it doesn't even sit at 90% for very long, maybe 3-4 hours.

Yes, very true. The closest you get to 100% SoC, the more the battery degrades. The ideal SoC would be at around 50-60%. But 80% is also good. (My EV has its lowest limit at 80%).

A friend of mine had a 2010 ( or 2009 ) Fusion Hybrid that needed a new battery, he went to the dealer and he was quoted over $8K. He then found $3K 'aftermarket' batteries and at the end he was able to find a shop that did the whole thing for under $2.5K.

Got a Varta battery and it only lasted 1.5 years. My car is parked under the sun on weekdays but was expecting more from the battery

Odyssey and wasn't a fan died quick
