Battery Bosch or Deka

Bosch Battery

(for general reference Lion are one of the worst battery brands out there. Exide are OK but that's far too expensive. Bosch and Varta are generally the exact same product with different stickers on and are always good, and rarely all that expensive.

Pros: good, rarely expensive
Cons: far too expensive

You can get an Deka AUX18L from batterymart.com for $159 shipped to your door. Deka is the OE manufacturer of the BMW battery for the i3. My original battery lasted 7 years, it’s a no-brainer.

Pros: lasted 7 years
Vehicle: BMW
Part number: AUX18L

I will second a class 3 Bosch. I have one in a hilly city that absolutely rocks the steeps and has a great battery life. Going on 2 years strong and I've had zero battery issues. It rains a lot here but no problems with the Shimano drivetrain either, just regular maintenance.

Pros: great battery life, rocks the steeps
Cons: regular maintenance

I went to a Škoda dealer to look at a car to buy. The car was a Rapid 1.4 SE DSG which was advertised at £8995. The car was stored remotely from the dealer, basically in a field. The battery was completely flat.

Cons: flat battery
Vehicle: Skoda Rapid

A few hours later he came back with a new S4 018 Bosch battery (original one was Yuasa HSB056). He assured me it had the same specs, despite being a different brand (40Ah, 12V). He installed it, and then told me it was a “slightly different base size” from the old one.

Pros: same specs, new battery
Cons: different base size
Part number: S4 018
