Battery Panasonic or Exide

For my Tiago, car came with Exide. And it lasted 4 years.

Swift petrol 2017 model with AGS. The OEM Exide battery lasted until 2022 (5 years). I actually ruined the OEM battery by overfilling it with distilled water ????. Else, it might have lasted longer. Got a Bosch battery after that and it's still running with no issues.

Varta ist nur noch ein Name, Exide habe ich schon lange in Nutzung. Die erste nach 11 Jahren vorsorglich getauscht und die zweite ist jetzt schon seit 12 Jahren in Betrieb.

I had a 2004 Scion xb back in the day that was made in Japan. Had to get rid of it after the engine developed excessive oil consumption. Had a hell of a battery in it. Panasonic brand.

Yeah, the oem Panasonic battery is easy to kill. I replaced mine (2022 Turbo) with an AGM type. Most all batteries are made by Johnson Controls, under different names. The cheapest price I found was $179 with a 4 year warranty at Walmart. Everstart Platinum group 35. Was a 10 min job to remove and replace. They can even test your old one. The agm type is in the deep cycle family, it can be discharged quite a bit without any issues, the stock battery (flooded acid type) is easy to damage.

My 2019 Mazda 3 died on me randomly a couple months ago. The dealership ran a test on it and it came out fine. I changed it anyway as it was a stock 5 year old battery. It’s been fine since, even in the -20°C temps where I am.

I just replaced the battery on my eco drive from maybe 2008ish? Battery itself was 14 bucks on ebay, oem brand(Panasonic). Swap took 5 minutes.

Walmart EverStart (make sure it's at least a 2 year warranty. The economy power ones are junk) or you can get Exide batteries at Home Depot for pretty cheap.

However if you bought an Exide battery, 100% it's your issue: I have had three batteries replaced under warranty on my BMW until I said "basta" and bought a Yuasa out of pocket. The amount of weird issues those junky batteries caused was beyond belief.

It was a P.O.S. Panasonic battery that is known to die prematurely. Only had 28k miles on the car when it died and had to get it replaced.
