Battery OEM BMW or OEM Volvo

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

I had a 2004 Volvo s60 with a battery that lasted 15 years before I changed it. The mechanics were impressed. Really helped that it was located in the trunk.

I had a battery in a 93 BMW last forever like that

Regardless, while that’s sorta old for a battery, I have OEM BMW batteries going on 12 years with 89% charge capacity.

These were very very well made batteries. They also used to be insanely expensive. Now, BMW knows the game and offers a 2 year warranty, which is pretty low for batteries, but they are very competitively priced.

My 2021 45e usually gets 30-34 in mild southern US weather per charge.

I drive a 2016 f15 x5 40e. After 7 years i still do the same distance full electric, maybe 2-3km less but can be my driving style

I have been driving a 2022 330e since March 2022 and haven’t seen any battery degradation to date. In the NY winter I still get at least 20 miles on a full charge, in the summer 23-30.

Well my Volvo dealership wanted $400 for a battery so yeah... It's the small things that cost the most at dealerships, maybe as a way to lessen to cost of bigger jobs so you're not paying tens of thousands for a major job.

my bmw would say this, a year after having a new oem batt installed, and only in the winter, dealer couldn't find the problem, so I traded it in for another subaru because parasitic draws are the last thing you want in a german car
