Battery Exide or OEM KIA

Exide Battery

Swift petrol 2017 model with AGS. The OEM Exide battery lasted until 2022 (5 years). I actually ruined the OEM battery by overfilling it with distilled water ????. Else, it might have lasted longer. Got a Bosch battery after that and it's still running with no issues.

Pros: long battery life
Cons: overfilling ruined battery
Vehicle: Suzuki Swift

Varta ist nur noch ein Name, Exide habe ich schon lange in Nutzung. Die erste nach 11 Jahren vorsorglich getauscht und die zweite ist jetzt schon seit 12 Jahren in Betrieb.

Pros: lange in Nutzung

I'm at over 90k miles in a 2022 Kia EV6 and haven't had an ICCU issue. All I've done outside normal wear and tear like tires is upgraded to an AGM 12V battery to solve crappy OEM battery problems

Pros: upgraded to AGM battery
Cons: crappy OEM battery
Vehicle: Kia
Mileage: 90000 km

Cons: aux bat SOC said 255

My Bullet needs Amiron, not happy with Exide. It's some design tuning, I suppose

Cons: not happy with Exide
