Battery Exide or OEM Volkswagen

We’ve been using Luminous inverter with an Exide battery for about a year now. No issues so far, works well to provide backup for about 4 hours.

When you change/disconnect the battery you will have the dash light up....just drive it and they clear out once you hit ~10mph.

Tdi Touareg (mid 2000s) battery fits, with posts recessed and in the right place. Dealer price used to be like $115 and they are solid 900cca performers.

My original vw battery made it 8 years and 170k miles, but 10 years is pretty damn good!

Been pretty happy with my Exide/Durastart batteries. Have yet to see one die. Been using them for the past 5-6 years.

Last batteries I’ve owned where Exide Sonnak, very happy with price, longevity and performance.

Exide are good made in usa

I installed a new battery but now the car won't start or turn over.

Left with exide crap.

the battery in my 2016 died while JUST inside the 36k warranty. the OEM replacement lasted another 30k or so. bought an AGM replacement from Costco, but I don't expect it to last any longer.
