Battery Bosch or OEM Volvo

I noticed that between 4ah and 5ah battery is little difference, but not much, 15% i would say. BUT 5.5 procore seems like 50% better than 4AH bosch battery and at least 15-20% stronger than bosch 5AH battery. When i say stronger, it is noticable in speed,strenght when i cut pellets, or drill concrete, or doing some 100mm or larger screws.

I used euro car parts 444770127 which is a mid range bosch battery. Don't remember any issues

Bosch, m-a tinut 8ani. Acum tot bosch de 70/75am luat.

I\u2019ve owned an S60 T8 for 2 and a half years now. Like others have said Volvo PHEVs deplete the battery first by default before touching the gas engine.

I have been driving a 2023 S60 Recharge for 2 years now. If someone told you it's bad to drive them with the battery depleted, they lied to you.

Depending on the year/model of the car you might need to have the battery "registered" using a special tool after installing it.

The mechanic I go to gives me Bosch and they last around 2 years if not more. But then they do die within a day when they do.

Bosch - 2.5 years so far,

Varta - 1.3 years before dying

Paid charging is problematic mainly because the T8 charges so slow. You'd have to leave your car at a charger for like 5.5 hours to fill the battery.

I had an Volvo XC90 hybrid. The car is ok, but the battery/motor part is garbage. It has a 10kwh battery, but can only drive for 18 miles on battery, the energy efficiency is way low than my model X.
