Battery Varta or Bosch
I noticed that between 4ah and 5ah battery is little difference, but not much, 15% i would say. BUT 5.5 procore seems like 50% better than 4AH bosch battery and at least 15-20% stronger than bosch 5AH battery. When i say stronger, it is noticable in speed,strenght when i cut pellets, or drill concrete, or doing some 100mm or larger screws.
Stated the battery was going bad, my thanks to Autonation for letting me get the inspection done and replacing the battery with a Varta AGM (I believe factory spec). Basically I love this car
I replaced mine with a higher capacity Varta 44ah 420cca battery, never had a flat since
I used euro car parts 444770127 which is a mid range bosch battery. Don't remember any issues
Bosch, m-a tinut 8ani. Acum tot bosch de 70/75am luat.
Varta B33 Location: Right Trunk under Taillight
Thx everyone, in the end I found a Varta B23 on discount, which is slightly bigger and slightly stronger (45AH) and fits.
My cargo bike advertises a range of 40-70 miles depending on level of boost. I get up to 40, at the very most, but never more. I use minimum boost only, and usually don’t ride up any major hills. I’ve wonder if this is just grade inflation for marketing or if my Bosch battery was just old/crappy when I got it.
My experience: Stay away from Bosch.
I've had a couple of issues with my BMW 5-series, I found Bosch batteries don't last as long as they should. I changed them twice in the span of 3 years or so, each time resetting the battery management system with the correct capacity. I changed it to a Deka Intimidator and I'm much happier with it.
