Battery Duracell or OEM Volkswagen

I've had good results from East Penn Duracell at Sam's Club. I just replaced one nearly 8 years old.

The best way to check is to go with a multimeter and get the highest voltage/closest manufactured date. Duracell might just be EverStart rebranded BUT NO the Walmart battery will last around 1-2 years, maybe less. If you want to make sure your covered with a good battery, that’s when you go to Advance Auto or AutoZone and get the battery with 3 years of warranty and swap it out right before the 3rd year ends and I find the batteries last me forever.

The best lead acid type of battery is a Duracell/East Penn hybrid/house AGM deep cell. These have thicker plates and are typically used for RVs and boats. They can tolerate deeper discharge and are less susceptible to damage (AGM). They sacrifice a little instantaneous current output, but that's not needed on an EV.

We’ve always had luck with Duracell in our cars.

wir haben unseren ID4 mit 50.000km gekauft und EZ 08/2023 sorich recht viel in kurzer Zeit geladen, da vorbesitzer ihn als Firmenwagen hatte. Beim Kauf war SoH vei 94% und die ersten Prozente degradieren ja schneller sprich je geringer SoH desto weniger degration. Weshalb ich auch behaupten möchte, der Akku hält länger als das Auto

Fahre selber den ID.5 aus 02.2023 mit inzwischen 85.000km und geladen wurden zu 85% am Schnelllader. Ich habe bisher einen errechneten Verlust von 1,2%.

I’ve replaced several Duracell batteries recently that had been recently installed within the last few month. We’ve had good luck with power sonic, yusa, and first power.

Not near Utah but here on the west coast I use Powersonic or Genesis or Yuasa with good luck. For some reason all the Duracells I have purchased over the years fail about a year out of install.

On the day of delivery itself, the car wouldn\u2019t start. The dealership jump-started it and said there was a small battery issue, assuring me that it won\u2019t happen again. But from that day onwards, the vehicle has never been reliable.

Duracell [battery] with a 3 year free replacement warranty. Last one failed unusually early, just short of 3 years
