Battery Bosch or OEM KIA

Even though the battery tested fine the problem went when I replaced the battery.

Also, most car manufacturers know that customers are generally bad at doing the "correct" thing, so they protect their batteries by design.

When you are charging to 100% you are actually closer to 95-97%, when you run your car to 0% it's actually 5-7%

All because it's easier to show you another number and build the protection into the system, than to change people's habits.

The battery in my MB was the original Bosch so 20 years old when I replaced it.

(for general reference Lion are one of the worst battery brands out there. Exide are OK but that's far too expensive. Bosch and Varta are generally the exact same product with different stickers on and are always good, and rarely all that expensive.

My Kia EV6 does 10-80 in 18 minutes which is getting close, IMO. It\u2019s certainly enough for me

My 2019 e Niro has done 67k miles and range has not dropped significantly. Over 300 miles suburban in summer and around 230 motorway miles with heating in the winter.

Of course you do. 16-19 kWh/100km to 20-23 kWh/100km. Kia EV6.

The Bosch has slightly lower Cold Cranking Amps at 330 vs the Yuasa at 360. Also Bosch has 4 yr warranty vs Yuasa 5yr.

I bought a ‘24 GT with 5k miles and regret it every day. The battery had to be replaced at 9k miles and we had a loaner for a 5 weeks. Everyday issues like Carplay not working 50% of the time and the backup sensors being way too sensitive drive me insane.

I went to a Škoda dealer to look at a car to buy. The car was a Rapid 1.4 SE DSG which was advertised at £8995. The car was stored remotely from the dealer, basically in a field. The battery was completely flat.
