Battery Exide or OEM Volvo

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\u2019ve owned an S60 T8 for 2 and a half years now. Like others have said Volvo PHEVs deplete the battery first by default before touching the gas engine.

Pros: deplete battery first
Vehicle: Volvo S60

I have been driving a 2023 S60 Recharge for 2 years now. If someone told you it's bad to drive them with the battery depleted, they lied to you.

Pros: rear wheels always powered
Vehicle: Volvo S60

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.

Cons: durată de viață scurtă, eșec prematur
Vehicle: Suzuki Vitara

Paid charging is problematic mainly because the T8 charges so slow. You'd have to leave your car at a charger for like 5.5 hours to fill the battery.

Cons: slow charging speed
Vehicle: Volvo

However if you bought an Exide battery, 100% it's your issue: I have had three batteries replaced under warranty on my BMW until I said "basta" and bought a Yuasa out of pocket. The amount of weird issues those junky batteries caused was beyond belief.

Cons: weird issues, junky batteries
Vehicle: BMW

I had an Volvo XC90 hybrid. The car is ok, but the battery/motor part is garbage. It has a 10kwh battery, but can only drive for 18 miles on battery, the energy efficiency is way low than my model X.

Cons: battery is garbage
Vehicle: Volvo XC90
