Battery Varta or OEM BMW

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.

I had one with the battery that lasted just under 12 years.... Old original BMW batteries are built different! Especially if the car is driven regularly.

I’ve had good luck with the VW OEM Varta batteries.

Same with my 2008 BMW 535d. 900ah and still going strong

I had a battery in a 93 BMW last forever like that

I wasn’t happy with the replacement options for the old Mercury batteries. So, I stumbled upon the Varta V80H—a battery usually used in servers—and I built a charger for it. It’s the perfect match: it has good discharge characteristics, high capacity, slow self-discharge, and it's rechargeable!

I get all my batteries in Screwfix. They do Varta brand which are exceptionally good for the price.

Regardless, while that’s sorta old for a battery, I have OEM BMW batteries going on 12 years with 89% charge capacity.

530e with a little over 20,000 miles shows 10 miles electric range on a nice summer day. It used to show 15 when new. BMW said that the drop was not warranty worthy.
