Battery Bosch or OEM FORD
In my car (2021 Mach E AWD with standard battery), the battery state of health the first time I checked it was around 94% at around 48,000 kilometers. I’m not sure how accurate the car’s data is because it seemed to drop a percentage or so immediately after a couple of OTA updates. It sat at around 92% until between 80,000 km and 113,000 km, but now it’s says 92.5% at 120,000 km. Again, I’m not entirely confident at how accurate the car’s information is, but my range is still about the same as when it was brand new. I think I’m past any danger of manufacturing defects, so I don’t have any reason to suspect that the battery won’t easily last a couple hundred of thousand kilometers more.
Bosch batteries in my older bmw lasted around 5 years but I was told it’s recommended to change every 2 years.
I replaced the battery in my '16 F150 last year - I'd say it had a good run. Went with another OE battery since the original lasted so long.
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.
Sodium ion has about half the volumetric and gravimetric energy density. Li will remain king in the EV space for a long time to come.
My cargo bike advertises a range of 40-70 miles depending on level of boost. I get up to 40, at the very most, but never more. I use minimum boost only, and usually don’t ride up any major hills. I’ve wonder if this is just grade inflation for marketing or if my Bosch battery was just old/crappy when I got it.
defective rin battery sa unit ko wala pang 2 months (common issue ng next gen everest) pinalitan rin naman ng casa for free but still, hassle.
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.
