Cons: no vent plug hole

Part number: AGM65

You can get an Deka AUX18L from batterymart.com for $159 shipped to your door. Deka is the OE manufacturer of the BMW battery for the i3. My original battery lasted 7 years, it’s a no-brainer.

Pros: lasted 7 years

Vehicle: BMW

Part number: AUX18L

I only use deka on my service rig. Usa made quality. Though listed at 540 CCA, MY Midtronics tester shows they output 650 - 750 CCA.. I easily get 7 years use in the field with these.

Pros: USA made quality, high CCA output, long lifespan

Deka batteries. I’ve turned wrenches for twenty years and they’re the only ones that still consistently test far above their rated capacity when new. I have one that’s 7 years old and just installed one in my other rig last year.

Pros: above rated capacity, long lifespan

That said, do not buy another Subaru battery. They are way over priced and extreme garbage. You'll be replacing it again in a year to 2 years; they are notorious for having failed cells in just a couple years. If you want something that will last a long time buy an AGM from Odyssey.

Pros: last a long time

Cons: failed cells, over priced

Vehicle: Subaru
