Battery Exide or OEM Honda

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.

I don't think they are good at inverters, but I have used their battery for ups which lasted 4 years, now i am using the second one which completed one year

VW lists 3 batteries, 1 AGM (68 Ah, Varta) and 2 flooded (72 Ah, Varta and 59 Ah, Exide) that may be used.

Yes, very true. The closest you get to 100% SoC, the more the battery degrades. The ideal SoC would be at around 50-60%. But 80% is also good. (My EV has its lowest limit at 80%).

I’d take a Honda battery over a Subaru one any day if the week.

It had a Honda battery in my Subaru for years

Honda batteries (at least the normal-sized ones, not so much the little 151R's) are honestly pretty solid.

The stock battery in my 2016 Honda died after four years.

Some of these OEM batteries they choose to use are shit.

Left with exide crap.
