Battery Varta or Duralast

I replaced mine in my driveway with a same size AutoZone Duralast Gold. With a coupon, I was out the door for less than $200. The car wintered outdoors at a Vermont ski resort and always started.

I JUST replaced my wife's 2013 Beetle battery with a Duralast from Autozone.

Adding my experience here for others that may stumble upon the thread. I was having really bad+inconsistent battery life with my left and then right buds, where they would die in less than hour. I replaced the both earbuds original batteries with the Varta CP1254 A3 battery and also did a hard reset.

It took a little over an hour to do and finally the battery life is decent again. I was able to run them for a good 3 hours on noise canceling with max quality settings and it's a night-and-day difference.

I've had some good luck with OEM Vw therye where either Varta or another OEM factory battery. 7 years on one...and also 3 years till 50%, lots of variables, to make a battery last or not last.

I just now successfully replaced the battery with a varta cp1254 a4 due to the right one going bad after a year of use, testing it for a few hours now and it worked!

I've been using the varta cp1254 a3 (60mAh) in my left earbud for about a month. The difference is very small (less than 10%). From full charge to low battery warning, varta 20%, zenipower 25+%.

I used the duralast from autozone.

I use duralast and get about 4 years on a battery. No complaints at all.

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

I've gone through two VW batteries in 32K miles under three years. They suck. Just replaced it with a Duralast Gold from Autozone which has a 3 year full replacement warranty and 5 year prorated.
