Battery Exide or OEM Honda

Exide, good battery life and no hassle warranty claims.

In 2021 am achizitionat o baterie de pe autokarma si inca o folosesc si merge probleme. In cazul meu, am achizitionat o baterie Exide(auto stop EFB 60AH- approx 430 lei), pentru o Mazda 3 benzina.

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.

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.

My '11 Fit had a aftermarket 151R battery. Mine occasionally produced a similar noise such as this on cold day starts. I think the noise stems from the starter, perhaps the starter solenoid that doesn't retract after you release the key from start position. My issue went away after I replaced the battery

Currently, a bit over 3 grand (labour included), at least for the Civic/Accord Hybrids.

Exide Battery (demolished)

Battery on my '22 HRV Sport died within the first year of owning the car. Honda agreed it was defective.

I have two Honda City and the first one had the battery changed after the first year, I knew this wasn't normal and Honda insisted that's perfectly normal.

It all boils down to the idling stop feature, to allow that feature these cars use a specific type of battery, but even then the idling stop completely destroys the battery, on top of being useless.
