Battery Varta or Bosch
My VARTA on the e46 compact lasted 8years
Varta make some good shit.
I have a Cube Stereo Hybrid pro (insert numbers here)
Priced about 3.5k retail, it's an absolute dream to ride. Quiet, huge battery (bosch power tube 800)
Meni Varta akumulator trajao oko 9 godina.
Svaki dan auto u pokretu, samo nisu velike kilometraze .
Rekao bih ti Varta, vise njih sam imao i trajali su jako dugo. Mislim da je rekorder bio 8 godina... Isti taj od 72Ah.
varta - tvornicki akumulator na mbenz w211 izdrzala do proljeca ove godine. Dakle 18 punih godina
The factory battery is rubbish though. So get a better branded battery - varta or Bosch are good.
Try Varta, I replaced crappy ac delco twice in a year, replacement battery died in less than 2 months
Replaced it with varta, going 3 months strong now
After 7 sets of battery drains, I installed a new set and left it on a shelf untouched for a week. Turned on and dead. Made a warranty claim with Bosch to which their lazy troubleshooting reply:
Let me start by apologizing on behalf of BOSCH for any inconvenience this has caused you. I performed a complete inspection: I 1st charged up your lithium battery. I then calibrated & tested unit with both alkaline & lithium batteries: PASSED. I know it’s an inconvience. But: Leaving any batteries in unit when not in use: ( Unit will drain all battery types )—( Unit self discharges batteries when not in use ) --That is why Bosch put in manual tom remove batteries. PG# 21—Attached – ( they actually don’t say how long the “ extended period is “) That way it is not considerd a factory defect. Other than that: unit is operating to all Manufacurers Specification & Tolerances. Best regards,
-Well I'm never buying another Bosch product again with customer service like that. Pissed that I bought this expensive paperweight. What product in today's world drains batteries when not in use? Clearly flawed engineering they are hiding and do not value the end users. A recall is in order.
Varte su mi rikavale.
