My battery was the [factory one from 2007], changed it in 2023. Couldn't find a replacement Varta back then and had to choose fast, so I picked Yuasa (Japanese brand) and it's working good till now.

Pros: working good

I bought a shorter mobility scooter battery with same chemistry as the original, YUASA REC36-12, however the polarity was reversed. I extended the negative pole and installed it without an issue and car came back to normal.

Pros: car came back to normal
Cons: polarity was reversed
Part number: REC36-12

Also, most car manufacturers know that customers are generally bad at doing the "correct" thing, so they protect their batteries by design.

When you are charging to 100% you are actually closer to 95-97%, when you run your car to 0% it's actually 5-7%

All because it's easier to show you another number and build the protection into the system, than to change people's habits.

Pros: batteries protected by design
Vehicle: Kia

Unfortunately have to disagree about Yuasa, This 2018 battery is not the same as what you will get as a replacement from Yuasa today. I think they moved manufacturing from Taiwan and the quality has fell. My last two DRZ400 batteries were Yuasa and they didnt last 2 years. Even with tender on for the few months I didnt ride the bike.

Pros: tender on for months
Cons: quality has fell

I bought a ‘24 GT with 5k miles and regret it every day. The battery had to be replaced at 9k miles and we had a loaner for a 5 weeks. Everyday issues like Carplay not working 50% of the time and the backup sensors being way too sensitive drive me insane.

Cons: battery replaced, carplay issues
Vehicle: Kia
Mileage: 5000 km
