Battery OEM Chevrolet or Exide

VW lists 3 batteries, 1 AGM (68 Ah, Varta) and 2 flooded (72 Ah, Varta and 59 Ah, Exide) that may be used.

This one looks like it’s in very good shape, I’ve seen similar for sale for $200 to $300 but the couple I’ve seen at auction sold for $80 and $110 if my memory is correct. Both where in much worse shape than yours.

We’ve been using Luminous inverter with an Exide battery for about a year now. No issues so far, works well to provide backup for about 4 hours.

Been pretty happy with my Exide/Durastart batteries. Have yet to see one die. Been using them for the past 5-6 years.

Last batteries I’ve owned where Exide Sonnak, very happy with price, longevity and performance.

Exide are good made in usa

I just purchased an Exide battery at Home Depot yesterday for my 2002 Jetta Wagon. It was only $109.99.....about $50 less expensive than anything comparable in any of the big 4 parts stores, locally. It also has the best warranty of all of them (3 year replacement).

installed new Exide EK950 AGM 95AH to replace same model been there 3years. No change, and also former battery checks to be in nearly new condition still with measured 90AH capacity from fully charged to 10,5v 9hours with 10Amp load.

Left with exide crap.

However, I have had nothing but bad experiences with Exide batteries. I've bought three, and all have died within 2 years.
