Battery Bosch or OEM Volvo

Just do it yourself or find an independent shop.

So on P3 cars, this light appears incredibly often. But since you’re at the point of your car not starting, you need a battery.

You don’t need to program anything to install a battery.. 2019 s90 if u want to save some money make sure u have the correct battery install at your local service center

Bosch batteries in my older bmw lasted around 5 years but I was told it’s recommended to change every 2 years.

I had a 2004 Volvo s60 with a battery that lasted 15 years before I changed it. The mechanics were impressed. Really helped that it was located in the trunk.

Change mine in my 2016 Golf R to this battery and it's been great. EFB shite didn't even last the first 3yrs.

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.

Only things that went a couple months back was the EGR and a window mechanism. And the battery a year before.

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.

After 7 sets of battery drains, I installed a new set and left it on a shelf untouched for a week. Turned on and dead. Made a warranty claim with Bosch to which their lazy troubleshooting reply:  

Let me start by apologizing on behalf of BOSCH for any inconvenience this has caused you. I performed a complete inspection: I 1st charged up your lithium battery. I then calibrated & tested unit with both alkaline & lithium batteries: PASSED.   I know it’s an inconvience. But:  Leaving any batteries in unit when not in use: ( Unit will drain all battery types )—( Unit self discharges batteries when not in use ) --That is why Bosch put in manual tom remove batteries. PG# 21—Attached – ( they actually don’t say how long the “ extended period is “) That way it is not considerd a factory defect. Other than that: unit is operating to all Manufacurers Specification & Tolerances.   Best regards, 

-Well I'm never buying another Bosch product again with customer service like that. Pissed that I bought this expensive paperweight. What product in today's world drains batteries when not in use?  Clearly flawed engineering they are hiding and do not value the end users. A recall is in order.
