Battery Varta or AC DELCO

Thx everyone, in the end I found a Varta B23 on discount, which is slightly bigger and slightly stronger (45AH) and fits.

I'm gonna 2nd the AC Delco recommendation. I have had nothing but issues with Duracell's leaking. I have never had an issue with AC Delco. Its the only battery I buy. The best.

I’d go for Vatra. Massively popular in Finland where it often gets lower than -30 in winters. I had mine on an F10 and the car was stationary for 2 weeks with average temp of around -15 degrees. Zero problem

Acum recent am schimbat bateria la mașină, am dat în jur de 530 de lei, baterie de la Varta. Eu am optat pentru varianta la 530 că am renunțat la funcția start-stop, altfel costa aprox. 800 de lei. Cel puțin din experiența personală, este o marcă super oke dpdv al raportului calitate-pret. Înainte de schimb tot Varta am avut, bateria originală de când a ieșit din fabrică (2013)

Varta blue 60ah de pe emag acum 3 ani jumate, fara startstop, 275 lei. Inca e bine in parametri, am o jucarie in bord care imi arata voltajul non stop.

Ia Duracell, am tot luat eu acelas tip de baterie pentru cheia de la masina, le schimbam la 2-3 luni, am pus un Varta, are 5 luni si este ca noua

Salut, am C class diesel din 2012 cumparat acum 2.5 ani. Cand l-am cumparat avea bateria originala, Varta cu logo Mercedes. Am luat fix acelasi model de baterie de la Varta, dar fara logo Mercedes, a costat 850 lei, mi-am montat-o singur. Am considerat ca daca cea originala a tinut 11+ ani, merita sa iau acelasi model.

The older VARTA battery could only hold a charge for 15 - 30 minutes at the end. It has been in use since January 2020 and was out of use for 8 months in 2022.

ZeniPower battery could still hold a charge for a long time. Estimating 5-7 hours.

I’m on my 3rd battery since Nov 2021. Every time it has lasted me 1 year and 3-4 months. Not even 2 years.

I don’t have a parasitic drain. I don’t use AC a lot. I don’t jumpstart cars with it. There is no excessive load on it. Yet, they all lasted less than 2 years.

Amaron best, 2nd is solite.

Worst was ac delco. Always gave me 1 year max.
