Battery Energizer or Duralast

It has been in there since 2016 and still works fine.

I JUST replaced my wife's 2013 Beetle battery with a Duralast from Autozone.

I've noticed the 20xx Energizer series seem to be made in Japan. Refreshing since they don't stink like the Ikea MIC ones.

I just ordered the energizer lithium fob battery, will see if it lasts longer than the regular energizer which in my case was 3 years

I didn't get long lasting power from "any brand name". Switching to Energizer or Panasonic did much better, like 2 years.

Now I stick to Energizer Max batteries, they claim a 10 year shelf life, and I have some that are 5 years old that are still near 100% state of charge, with no leaks.

I used the duralast from autozone.

Got a Duralast (I'm not driving an hour round-trip to the f'ing dealer to overpay for a battery). Another inconvenience on newer cars that's completely unnecessary. Really aggravating. Hoping it clears itself out shortly.

I usually run the Duralasts just because AutoZone is everywhere and I usually get it replaced twice before the warranty runs out - Phoenix is brutal on batteries.

I've gone through two VW batteries in 32K miles under three years. They suck. Just replaced it with a Duralast Gold from Autozone which has a 3 year full replacement warranty and 5 year prorated.
