Battery Energizer or OEM BMW

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

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

Recently i was able to acquire some Japanese Energizer 2300 and 800mAh AA and AAA batteries...from my experience with the Energizers so far they are much much better then any other NiMH battery I've ever used including the Chinese Panasonic NiMH batteries.

I have the Energizer battery in mine. It's worked perfectly so far. The included posts are plug and play with the i3 terminals.

So now I will only use Energizer and Sanyo/Panasonic Eneloop bateries I use these rechargable ones in more expensive devices as they do not leek but have had great success with energizer and their max alkaline bateries both stored and in devices and none have leaked.

Regardless, while that’s sorta old for a battery, I have OEM BMW batteries going on 12 years with 89% charge capacity.

I have a snap-on torque wrench and duracell keeps doing that, I switched over to energizer and it stopped.

These were very very well made batteries. They also used to be insanely expensive. Now, BMW knows the game and offers a 2 year warranty, which is pretty low for batteries, but they are very competitively priced.

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.

my bmw would say this, a year after having a new oem batt installed, and only in the winter, dealer couldn't find the problem, so I traded it in for another subaru because parasitic draws are the last thing you want in a german car
