Battery OEM BMW or Duralast

Tried them all at some point and whatever BMW OE does to those they last 2-3X longer. I literally just replaced a 14 year old battery last September….fuckin insane longevity with the OEM ones.

Just a heads up I had same issue with my Titan and it was the battery. I purchased a cheaper battery and 6 months in I get only a click when trying to start truck. Sometimes would start sometimes not. Then I bought the same battery again to see if that would fix the issue. This time it didn\u2019t start at all with the same type of battery, tested 100% charge and 100% battery life. So I said let me try buying a better quality battery just to see if anything happens, sure enough the truck started. It has kept starting ever since.

Duralast is a decent brand, I’ve always went with the gold, no real reason just that it’s what was in the car before.

I’ve had my iX for 2.5 years and have logged 122k miles. I haven’t noticed any degradation in battery capacity. Just the normal summer/winter fluctuations (live in Midwest).

my 2010 4x4 needs a new battery. This one lasted 4 years Duralast Gold.

I had one with the battery that lasted just under 12 years.... Old original BMW batteries are built different! Especially if the car is driven regularly.

I usually get a Duralast Gold from pepboys. Not the cheapest model, but not the super premium one either. Most CCA.

Same with my 2008 BMW 535d. 900ah and still going strong

BMW i3… loved that little toaster but 80 mile range wasn’t cutting it anymore. I still enjoyed running errands and zipping through parking lots.

I've gone through two VW batteries in 32K miles under three years. They suck. Just replaced it with a Duralast Gold from Autozone which has a 3 year full replacement warranty and 5 year prorated.
