Battery Duracell or OEM BMW

The replacement battery I bought was a Duracell from Sam’s Club. Fit and worked fine.

I’ve had my iX for 2.5 years and have logged 122k miles. I haven’t noticed any degradation in battery capacity. Just the normal summer/winter fluctuations (live in Midwest).

Mizerii, nimic nu bate Duracell, da, relativ mai scumpe dar nu mi se pare exagerat la cat duc.

Am folosit la cheie de mașina cu keyless go & entry, cele de la auchan țin maxim 4 luni, indiferent că folosești cheia sau că o ți in casa (daca e rezerva), cele de la Duracell țin un an și ceva.

I had one with the battery that lasted just under 12 years.... Old original BMW batteries are built different! Especially if the car is driven regularly.

Same with my 2008 BMW 535d. 900ah and still going strong

I had a battery in a 93 BMW last forever like that

Ich fahre im Moment nen BMW i3 von 2015 mit nur rund 15 kWh Batteriekapazität und knapp 80k km runter. Da die eh so klein ist und das Auto auch kein großartiges Lademanagement hat, knall ich (und wahrscheinlich alle Vorbesitzer auch) die Batterie eigentlich so gut wie immer auf 100%, was man ja eigentlich vermeiden soll. Das Auto liegt über den Daumen gepeilt ca. 10-15% (eher 10) unter den Angaben, die man so im Netz findet.

I bought the battery last summer, drove the car around for about a month no problems.

I put the car away for autumn/winter.

Took it to auto parts store last night, checked in in the morning.

Employee brought it out, said it needed more time and put it back on "fast charger".

I come back 4hours later and they're telling me it exploded on the charger??

530e with a little over 20,000 miles shows 10 miles electric range on a nice summer day. It used to show 15 when new. BMW said that the drop was not warranty worthy.
