Battery OEM Subaru or OEM Volkswagen

Mein e-Golf ist jetzt knapp 8 Jahre alt und hat 177000km runter. SoH liegt bei ~90%. Um den Antrieb braucht man sich glaube ich keine Sorgen machen beim Stromer.

Im still on the original battery despite it being outside on -35 unplugged.

I’m in the UAE, where summers hit around 50°C. This Forester is my first car with auto start-stop, and I’m impressed that the battery lasted a solid 4 years. With my driving habits (lots of short runs), my previous cars’ batteries would barely survive 1–1.5 years. This one lasted more than double that.

Still on vanilla battery. As part of my wife's start process is start car, press button to turn off auto off. Seems to be working.

On a Jetta, it will leave you stranded, and it being a VW, the symptoms will be nothing like a dead battery, most likely.

My car does not start well. I had replaced the battery myself, which helped it not be so bad.

I had this issue as well, one day the car wouldn’t turn over. Then it would. Then there was no power. Then it would start. Over several days and weeks this would happen. It was explained to me that the Subaru batteries that come from the factory are made to hold just barely enough power to start the car. If that power is diminished in even the slightest degree, like with normal usage in the first 50k miles, then the battery does not have enough charge to do its basic task anymore, rendering it useless. As I understood it, the batteries in the new cars are not up to snuff.

Replacing my battery recently

A new battery at 10k miles.

Battery died around 50k miles.
