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

Starts fine even in -4F weather. Will probably swap it this year with another OE battery as oddly i have better luck with OE batteries and they tend to be cheaper than Autozone/Orielys/Advanced.

Pros: good cold weather starting
Vehicle: Volkswagen Touareg

2017 got a new battery in 2023 before winter, didn't have a no start issue but figured it was time. Went with a dealer battery, was only $138ish for the 72ah upgrade and replaced it in their parking lot to get the core charge back.

Pros: affordable (72ah upgrade)
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I’ve had my id3 5 years now and had very few problems with the car or charging. I’ll get maybe 180 miles on the motorway but close to 240 miles cross country. Manchester to Sheffield to Nottingham and back to Manchester left me with around 50 miles range, but I can’t get from Manchester to London, or Manchester to Glasgow without charging.

Pros: few problems, good cross country range
Cons: insufficient range for long trips
Vehicle: Volkswagen

2022 ID.4 in Canada. Have had two replaced. Luckily when it happened it was in my driveway for all three times. Hooked up a charger to the 12v for a few hours and it started like nothing was wrong.

Pros: charger fixed the issue
Cons: replaced two batteries
Vehicle: Volkswagen

The battery VW uses in the ID.4 is trash. I had it replaced under warranty in my 2021 after about 2 years when my car died in the garage and I had to get assistance. The tow truck driver got it going with a jump starter. It\u2019s now just out of warranty in year 4 and I get the \u201cLow 12V\u201d warning on cold days.

Cons: battery is trash
Vehicle: Volkswagen
