Battery Bosch or Energizer

So now I will only use Energizer and Sanyo/Panasonic Eneloop bateries I use these rechargable ones in more expensive devices as they do not leek but have had great success with energizer and their max alkaline bateries both stored and in devices and none have leaked.

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

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.

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!

I have a snap-on torque wrench and duracell keeps doing that, I switched over to energizer and it stopped.

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.

It's not only Energizer, its also whatever cheap brand I have. Might be a law, I think.

I do hate them, either cutting your fingers or have the cell fly out like a chemical saucer.

I switched to Bosch after that. that failed after 2.5 years, just under warranty. so it can happen with any company. some batches might have good quality some do not.
