Starts fine even in -4F weather. Will probably swap it this year with another OE battery as oddly i have better luck with OE batteries and they tend to be cheaper than Autozone/Orielys/Advanced.

Pros: good cold weather starting

Vehicle: Volkswagen Touareg

2017 got a new battery in 2023 before winter, didn't have a no start issue but figured it was time. Went with a dealer battery, was only $138ish for the 72ah upgrade and replaced it in their parking lot to get the core charge back.

Pros: affordable (72ah upgrade)

Vehicle: Volkswagen

wir haben unseren ID4 mit 50.000km gekauft und EZ 08/2023 sorich recht viel in kurzer Zeit geladen, da vorbesitzer ihn als Firmenwagen hatte. Beim Kauf war SoH vei 94% und die ersten Prozente degradieren ja schneller sprich je geringer SoH desto weniger degration. Weshalb ich auch behaupten möchte, der Akku hält länger als das Auto

Pros: gute Batterielebensdauer, geringe Degradation

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Mileage: 50000 km

I’ve had my id3 5 years now and had very few problems with the car or charging. I’ll get maybe 180 miles on the motorway but close to 240 miles cross country. Manchester to Sheffield to Nottingham and back to Manchester left me with around 50 miles range, but I can’t get from Manchester to London, or Manchester to Glasgow without charging.

Pros: few problems, good cross country range

Cons: insufficient range for long trips

Vehicle: Volkswagen

I drive a 15 year old gas powered Audi Q7. Still runs like new. My issue with EVs is you can't just keep them tuned up when they're old. No matter how good of care you take of it, the battery will decay and lose capacity.

Pros: runs like new

Cons: battery will decay

Vehicle: Audi Q7

I just preemptively changed my 2007 VW golf battery at 120k...I probably could have gone farther but every now and again I would get a weird code that likely was voltage relative.

Pros: could have gone farther

Cons: weird voltage codes

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Mileage: 120000 km

2022 ID.4 in Canada. Have had two replaced. Luckily when it happened it was in my driveway for all three times. Hooked up a charger to the 12v for a few hours and it started like nothing was wrong.

Pros: charger fixed the issue

Cons: replaced two batteries

Vehicle: Volkswagen

The battery VW uses in the ID.4 is trash. I had it replaced under warranty in my 2021 after about 2 years when my car died in the garage and I had to get assistance. The tow truck driver got it going with a jump starter. It\u2019s now just out of warranty in year 4 and I get the \u201cLow 12V\u201d warning on cold days.

Cons: battery is trash

Vehicle: Volkswagen
