Battery Exide or OEM BMW

I got a `EA530 exide 079te` for my leaf just over a year ago and so far it's still working perfect.

Exide are great batteries and are a tier 1 supplier with Yuasa, Bosch, Varta.

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

IMHO, Exide works well till the last second and then dies off without any symptoms. Amaron shows alot of symptoms like extra cranking and lights dim for interior and dash lights when it's nearing its demise. Hence I moved to amaron. So should you.

After reading all replies and knowing the price of the dealers option, I took my chance with a Exide battery AGM 12-23, it was a perfect fit.

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.

My 2021 45e usually gets 30-34 in mild southern US weather per charge.

Am schimbat eu baterie după 2 ani. Aveam o localizare gps consumator continuu și nu mișcam mașina zilnic. Atat i-a trebuit, și vorbim de Exide, nu de Rombat.

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.

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
