Finally got the LH Battery put in today.... Had been putting it off for a few months. It went a lot better than I thought it would, all things considered.
I bought the Odyssey battery and it's been well worth the money
Odyssey makes the best. Optima for a middle end battery.
If willing to pay for a Optima yellow top, I suggest you get an Odyssey battery instead. It's a much better battery for about the same price.
I finally spent the money on an odyssey extreme on my 7.3 along with an aftermarket starter and battery cables. Absolute game changer in the wintertime. I could leave it out in the cold for a week and it would start faster than the old battery setup would in the summer.
I’ve ran odyssey in my RZRs and they always held up through abuse and neglect.
My golf 2010 VW dashboard ****s down but car remains running. When it don't start take out the battery touch the two cables together with out the battery. For 15 seconds to reboot the car and it starts back.
On a Jetta, it will leave you stranded, and it being a VW, the symptoms will be nothing like a dead battery, most likely.
My cousin has a 2018 Atlas and a month ago he called me and said he car wouldn't start. It'd just rapidly click. So I drove over there and gave him a jump. Still wouldn't start. So I thought maybe it's the starter motor. Called a bunch of repair shops and they said the battery is dead and needs to be replaced.
I've got an essentially new Golf R only about 3 months old and I think my battery is no good. I keep it connected to a battery tender as I dont'drive it often. Even after a week of being connected it never reaches full charge. Also, After I discomnect I put a quick load on it by turning on the lights in order to remove the surface charge from the battery tendder. Prior to putting the load on and just after disconnecting the battery tender the rading is 12.8Votls. After putting the load on by turning on the lights for a minute the voltage reading then drops to 12.28 which seems awfully load. I'm assuming my battery is no good.
