Varta Battery

Rating 4.0

I got just over 7 years from the factory Varta battery in my old 2015 MK7. It was the smaller H4 size and always started flawlessly in the Canadian winter. It ended up failing in the early summer. It cranked rather slowly one morning and the voltage refused to go above 12.3, even after charging. It barely started when I went to get the new battery. I was lucky enough to not get stranded.

Pros: long lifespan (7 years), flawless cold starts
Cons: sudden failure

Got a Japanese one: Varta Automotive EFB Car Battery Q-85/115D23L 12v 70Ah 660A (EN) just over 1/2 the price of an Australian made Q-85. Got 6.5 years out of original from Japan 2019 using stop start most of the time.

Pros: 6.5 years of use
Part number: Q85/115D23L

However, the choice that I currently consider most balanced in terms of performance/duration/cost is the VARTA Silver Dynamic AGM 95Ah.

Pros: balanced performance, duration, cost

I can say from my experience if it drops below -20C a level one will only really keep the battery from losing power.

Pros: keep battery from losing power
Cons: only keep battery warm

Depends on the car, both highway speeds:

- Our good EV, Ioniq 6: went from 18kWh/100km to about 26kWh/100km.

- Our bad car, EQB: Went from about 26-28kWh/100km to about 29-30kWh.

Pros: increased energy consumption
Vehicle: Hyundai
