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've had good luck with Bosch (made by Varta iirc) and Yuasa.
Even in the colder weather now, I'd be getting 400+ km on a full charge in my BEV (Mustang Mach e). But I only charge once a week (Fri night), to 80% to help with battery life; costs about $3 per week to get an extra 200-300km.
Always read your manual/mfr suggestions for battery charging and longevity.
For Li-ion you generally should charge no more than 80% (some mfg hide 10% via software like Ford, so you charge to 90%). Also, limit fee cycling these types too, regularly you should DC to about 50% max. Occasionally deep cycling and full charging is fine. Should limit DCFC also.
Change the battery to a bosch one, I had this issue and my car does 600 miles a week for work took it to toyota and they just kept charging it then giving it back to die again the next Monday morning, they tried to say I wasn't driving it enough until they pulled up the service history (2020 with 54k miles) but they still wouldn't agree to replacing the battery
I use a Group 27 battery in my Mustang and have found Bosch to work very well for me.
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.
ahora tienen 39,000 millas la pague el viernes en la tarde el sabado no prendio... la lleve hoy al consecionario tengo que pagar por una bateria nueva y la reparacion... creo que voy a salir de alle, en verdad me gustavla camioneta pero estoy decilucionado...
My experience: Stay away from Bosch.
