I got just over 7 years from the factory Varta battery in my old 2015 MK7. It was the smaller H4 size and always started flawlessly in the Canadian winter. It ended up failing in the early summer. It cranked rather slowly one morning and the voltage refused to go above 12.3, even after charging. It barely started when I went to get the new battery. I was lucky enough to not get stranded.
UPDATE: i just got my wifes car back from the dealership and it turns out it was the battery for hers. The voltage thats normal for her car is 14.8 volts not 13.4. He said there are 40+ computers and when the voltage is low it causes havoc in the car.
Got a Japanese one: Varta Automotive EFB Car Battery Q-85/115D23L 12v 70Ah 660A (EN) just over 1/2 the price of an Australian made Q-85. Got 6.5 years out of original from Japan 2019 using stop start most of the time.
Varta’dan vazgecmeyin. Zamaninda bahsettiginiz markalari kullandim 2 yil sonrasinda yolda kaldim. Kendi aracimdaki aku de Varta.
Clio 2014 aracım vardı s&s lu orijinal aküsünden sonra mutlu akü kullandım memnun kalmadım şuan Varta kullanıyorum çok memnunum ben yerinde olsam risk almam vartadan devam ederim
Halt nur die Klassiker, alle 15j mal eine Batterie tauschen oder die wasserpumpe.
When I bought my used bolt from Carvana. I had scheduled a full review at the local Chevy service center/dealership. They confirmed the battery had been recently replaced, other than that perfect condition.
I drove a first gen Chevy Volt before I bought my 2022 MYP. I actually loved the Volt but it didn't have much range. The Chevy Volt had about 37 miles of range and my round trip to work and back was 34 miles. I drove that car on all electric 95% of the time.
Never left me stranded besides a dead battery.
Chevy Bolt. Then it was recalled for the battery fire issue.
