I replaced the battery in my '16 F150 last year - I'd say it had a good run. Went with another OE battery since the original lasted so long.
My original Panasonic lasted seven years in my car when new
After the original battery, i replaced it with a Panasonic battery (nasa ₱5k that time) in 4th quarter of 2019. Etong panasonic battery life, last June 2024 ko lang napalitan (after 4 to 4.5yrs of service )????
Out of stock yung Panasonic so pinagtyagaan ko nalang yung Motolite priced at ₱7k recently (shucks i hope this battery lasts kahit 2yrs).
Even in the colder weather now, I'd be getting 400+ km on a full charge in my BEV (Mustang Mach e). But I only charge once a week (Fri night), to 80% to help with battery life; costs about $3 per week to get an extra 200-300km.
Panasonic made batteries for Subaru years ago, black top and white case that you could just barely see through. Those bastards would run 7 or 8 years consistently before being replaced….
Always read your manual/mfr suggestions for battery charging and longevity.
For Li-ion you generally should charge no more than 80% (some mfg hide 10% via software like Ford, so you charge to 90%). Also, limit fee cycling these types too, regularly you should DC to about 50% max. Occasionally deep cycling and full charging is fine. Should limit DCFC also.
Sodium ion has about half the volumetric and gravimetric energy density. Li will remain king in the EV space for a long time to come.
I run Panasonic in ours, so far so good.
They use some crap Panasonic battery.
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.
