Battery Varta or OEM Mercedes

My VARTA on the e46 compact lasted 8years

Varta make some good shit.

For my Mercedes sprinter I had the same battery in it for 10 years. I went and bought it at the dealership. Since the last one lasted 10 years. I shouldn’t have a problem with it.

Meni Varta akumulator trajao oko 9 godina.

Svaki dan auto u pokretu, samo nisu velike kilometraze .

Rekao bih ti Varta, vise njih sam imao i trajali su jako dugo. Mislim da je rekorder bio 8 godina... Isti taj od 72Ah.

varta - tvornicki akumulator na mbenz w211 izdrzala do proljeca ove godine. Dakle 18 punih godina

tvornicka varta na clio 4 trajala 7 godina a i tad je zamjenjena tek kad se skuzilo da start-stop vise ne radi a auto palio bez problema

ja imam varta sivi na mom autu (crkao u toku garancije zamenili ga bez problema) na drugom varta plavi taj gura bez problema

I don’t have an AMG, but a 2024 CLA 200d and having battery drain problem is annoying to say the least and haven’t even had the car for a month when it all started happening. It’s been at the dealer for the past 3 days and no voltage drop there. They gave me the signal blocking key case and they upgraded the software and still can’t find the problem. Third visit in the month and new battery installed too.

same issue with daily driver 2021 E63. In this case though, the car doesnt give me a warning as much as the Mercedes app on my phone - it alerts to low battery -even critically low, but when I get into the car it starts and there is no message.
