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.

Pros: hell of a battery

It's a lovely car, but very bad on the efficiency. We have a 55 and the range varies from 150 in the winter to 250 in the summer. Honestly, for the money you'll struggle to get more car, it's very comfortable, quick, and has mountains of room inside. Ours is a 2019 on 70k miles, and has had zero issues

Pros: very comfortable, quick

Cons: bad on the efficiency

Vehicle: Audi

Mileage: 112654 km

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.

Pros: AGM type, deep cycle

Cons: OEM battery easy to kill

Vehicle: Mazda

Part number: GROUP 35

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.

Pros: fine even in cold

Vehicle: Mazda 3

I drive a 15 year old gas powered Audi Q7. Still runs like new. My issue with EVs is you can't just keep them tuned up when they're old. No matter how good of care you take of it, the battery will decay and lose capacity.

Pros: runs like new

Cons: battery will decay

Vehicle: Audi Q7

Yes, 2009 Audi TT, $800 as part of my yearly service in LA. Complained to Service advisor about the labor, and he took 20% off the battery portion.

Pros: 20% off

Cons: expensive labor

Spouse has a 2021 etron, (some issues, inc battery recall), I had a 2022 etron with many issues which prompted my change to a 2025 SQ6. I’ve written to Audi Canada so many times regarding the etron issues with no resolution on any of them. I like the SQ6 but this will be my last Audi - worst experience I’ve ever had with any vehicle and manufacturer.

Cons: worst experience

Vehicle: Audi

It is a great car to drive.\n\nThe battery range is very, very poor. On a cold day the range may be in the 120 range. It is exp naive to maintain as most parts on it are coded which means Audi dealer only

Pros: great car to drive

Cons: battery range very poor

Vehicle: Audi
