Battery Bosch or ODYSSEY

I swear by odyssey batteries in particular the pc1500st

Put a new Bosch AGM in.

I've installed the Odyssey Extreme battery in my Outback. These are AGM with 99% pure lead, not the alloy. Best battery I've come across.

With winter coming, I bought an odyssey extreme battery for my 2017. I’m not going to risk it.

I have one of these and its been perfect for 5 years with a 700watt sound system on a v8 truck.

I have the Odyssey Yellowtop

Probably the easiest car to swap a battery on imo. Just remove and replace, negative off first. Bosch is good quality, but not required...Use 80Ah 12V.

the IP64 battery cover can't close because the battery is too high, it should work no problem with any other 18V Bosch battery including the Procore 4.0Ah.

Good light though, it's really bright.

And heavy.

I installed the old battery after recharging it and it has been working great until now. The new battery was faulty and I ended up returning it for a refund.

I've been seeing the same issue with batteries branded under Bosch and Champion. On several cars, I rarely had to replace batteries, now it seems like it is a 1-2 year thing on any battery. They are dying faster without ability to recharge. I just posted in the Scirocco forums that my 3 year warrantied Bosch battery is no longer holding a charge and its not even 11 months since I bought it. Glad to know that I'm not alone in seeing that engineered battery obsolescence seems to have arrived.
