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.
XLT 22 Hybrid, aside from the shitty OEM battery that was just swapped out to an AGM one and the numerous recalls, still loving my truck. Gas is still great and the bed works very well.
I have a Cube Stereo Hybrid pro (insert numbers here)
Priced about 3.5k retail, it's an absolute dream to ride. Quiet, huge battery (bosch power tube 800)
Had the OEM battery until 2021 before it died. I think six years in the NE is pretty decent for an OEM battery. 78k miles on the truck so far. No issues with the starter or the new battery since replacement.
just had to get the battery replaced on our 24 bronco, same thing kept going into battery saver
I have used Bosch, Panasonic, and now Amaron in my 2013 WK2. Bosch lasted as much as my previous 2 Mopar lasted.
Kakabili ko lang ng Everest, so far no problems minus that one time na itinirik ako ng wala pang 2 months of ownership kasi defective yung battery. Common issue siya that happens around 6 months - 1 year, kaya ina-advice na palitan agad yung stock battery sa fecp na group, pero ang OA ng 2. months. Granted, napalitan naman agad battery for free pero ang hassle parin.
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.
I’ve had a transit custom 9 years and the stop start only worked when the battery was fairly new.
I bought a brand new Bosch battery last year ( not Halfords)and when I checked the voltage it was less than 10 volts so there are dud batteries out there.
