Battery OEM Mazda or Varta

So maybe your dealer does but we receive ours from interstate and have Varta branding on them.

I had an OEM VW battery made by Varta. It lasted from October 2005 to May 2014. It spent time in Michigan, Minnesota and northern Germany. I never had any problems with it.

The OEM battery is probably the best bang for the buck. I replaced mine with another OEM one after 7 years as a preventive measure. It was still performing fine.

Agree with everybody on here, change your battery - I had similar problems and others not mentioned, changed the battery and almost all problems disappeared.

I bought my 2008 3.6 4motion wagon a little over 3 years ago. It came with the original OEM battery, part number 4F0 915 105 E, and I was both impressed that it lasted that long and curious as to how much longer it would last.

I only use Varta batteries and i hade my 4 years and i dont even use it in winters(6Months) and when i charge it it keeps me up the rest of the summer around 6 months there too...=)

Hi Mike, Varta G14 is the retail equivalent, assuming you don't order the OEM one from VW Parts.

first issue I had was the battery at around 2000 miles, it was replaced under warranty.

In my old Audi, I had a non-OEM battery and I did the +1 in the serial number trick. That battery failed in a couple of months. I honestly think it was a bad unit.

Got a Varta battery and it only lasted 1.5 years. My car is parked under the sun on weekdays but was expecting more from the battery
