Battery Bosch or OEM BMW

I had one with the battery that lasted just under 12 years.... Old original BMW batteries are built different! Especially if the car is driven regularly.

Bosch batteries in my older bmw lasted around 5 years but I was told it’s recommended to change every 2 years.

Same with my 2008 BMW 535d. 900ah and still going strong

I had a battery in a 93 BMW last forever like that

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.

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.

I bought these both for the same exact car but both the box and product appear very different, and the bottom set ended up being ridden with parasitic drain!

Bosch batteries are no poorly made in china
