Battery Panasonic or OEM BMW

Bmw e91 318d del 2009, cambiata la batteria originale quest' anno.

low miles 10 yr old vehicle means its possible it has the original BMW factory installed battery. Some of those can last 10 years, I had a 2013 bmw 3 series and in 2022, I finally changed the original battery.

The OEM battery is AGM. If it was an OEM battery it wouldn't be lead acid, at least here in the US. Not sure what you're talking about. I installed mine three years ago and have had no issues despite winters that range from below 0 to summers that reach 100. Fahrenheit obviously.

OEM batteries are made from fairy dust. I still have my original one in my E92, made in 2007. Def recommend getting an OEM battery.

BMW here. No issues.

Tried them all at some point and whatever BMW OE does to those they last 2-3X longer. I literally just replaced a 14 year old battery last September….fuckin insane longevity with the OEM ones.

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.

BMW i3… loved that little toaster but 80 mile range wasn’t cutting it anymore. I still enjoyed running errands and zipping through parking lots.

Just had to replaced my battery in my 2022 Mazda 3. I’ve always heard people say the batteries are crap in these cars. There’s no way you should be replacing a OEM battery yet. They use some crap Panasonic battery.
