I've had good luck with Bosch (made by Varta iirc) and Yuasa.
Varta is pretty good
Just replaced this battery in my Leon. Got the Bosch 096 agm for £127 from Tayna batteries on eBay.
The original Varta battery lasted 11 years and still worked but began showing signs it needed replacing.
Get a Varta battery, lasts forever.
Varta je možda malo skuplji, ali ga imam u kolima od 2016. godine bez izgleda da posustane ni malo. Predlažem da staviš najveći koji je fizički moguće, mislim da je kod mene to bio model od 77Ah sa 700A udarne struje.
I put in a Varta CP1254 A3, same form factor, similar enough specs.
UPDATE: I put in the bigger battery, it's great. The Cp1254 A4 gets me 1-2 hours extra use over the A3 and I believe even the original Z55H.
I just replaced my xm3 batteries (they are cp1254a3 with 60mah) and I replaced it with the newer version (cp1254a4 with 74mah). No issues and more capacity.
New battery fitted and all ok for about 2 months, then same problem. Took new battery out (AGM Bosch S5 A08) and charged it on the bench, left it there overnight. Next morning its reading 12.2v.
Bosch batteries are no poorly made in china
In my old Audi, I had a non-OEM battery and I did the +1 in the serial number trick. That battery failed in a couple of months. I honestly think it was a bad unit.
