Battery Exide or Energizer

AGM power supply/comfort battery replaced. Overall it went without a hitch. I had the choice of an Exide or a Varta AGM from Tayna Baatteries. The Exide with a price discount was about \u00a310 cheaper than the Varta, so I chose that one at \u00a3133 delivered.

Next battery I am going to put in my Passat is going to be something made by Exide . I mentioned before that I changed my OE battery in the winter 2007-2008, was concerned with low temperatures of this winter, but battery seems to do very well, started at 9*F and still work without a problem.

my only option for a "proper" battery was a red top at $150.00. The next best thing was a group 47 Energizer, 590 CCA, 3 year full replacement, 7 year warranty from Sams Club for $65.00. I just dropped a load on the clutch and I don't plan on keeping the car for more than another 3 years. I only use synthetic oil so it cranks easier in the winter anyway. SO I got the energizer.

I just got a new 47-36 battery made by Exide. The vent tube routes as Dr. Bob describes, and the clamps fit perfectly. My only issue with the new battery is that the vent caps are way at the back and may be hard to reach.

You were right in saying the battery was weak. More or less the battery was beat like a baby seal, so I replaced it with a preimum Exide unit

My Tiguan factory battery was an Exide and it failed after 2 years, mostly in the Northeast US weather.
