Battery Bosch or Duracell

Change mine in my 2016 Golf R to this battery and it's been great. EFB shite didn't even last the first 3yrs.

Don't get cheap ones!

Duracell is your only man

We have a 2009 Fiesta 1.4 petrol and replaced the battery with a Bosch battery 5 years ago after the same issue. The car does a few short journeys a week so not ideal but there's no signs that the battery is about to go flat.

Yuasa are high quality. I generally get Bosch S4 or S5 as they've never let me down.

I replaced the OEM battery in my low-mileage 2019 Alltrack S two days ago. (OEM battery was lead-acid 5K0 915 105 D, it was replaced with a Duracell Ultra Platinum SLI47AGM, 600 CCA.)

And yet my 2008 VW had a Bosch battery out the factory ????‍♂️.

Fucking thing lasted 10 years or so though. So credit to Bosch for that one!

looking at that reciept seeing Enhanced flooded its even worse, we are a main dealer of Bosch batteries and their EFB rated voltage is 12.6V when not in use not sure for the other big battery brands

New battery fitted and all ok for about 2 months, then same problem. Took new battery out (AGM Bosch S5 A08) and charged it on the bench, left it there overnight. Next morning its reading 12.2v.

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.

I've had a couple of issues with my BMW 5-series, I found Bosch batteries don't last as long as they should. I changed them twice in the span of 3 years or so, each time resetting the battery management system with the correct capacity. I changed it to a Deka Intimidator and I'm much happier with it.
