I've been using the varta cp1254 a3 (60mAh) in my left earbud for about a month. The difference is very small (less than 10%). From full charge to low battery warning, varta 20%, zenipower 25+%.
I've put my trust in Varta. Previously had Bosch. I think you can put your trust in pretty much any brand if its covered by a 2-year warranty.
We needed to replace the original German Varta battery in our '14 A4 (date code Jun '13) after the first polar vortex in early '19. OE list was $227 (non AGM), discounted to about $195 at the local Audi parts counter. Advance Auto had an equivalent H9 for about $170, but the local store only had one with a late '16 date code (and proper BEM sticker). So they sold it to me as a \"used battery\" (after running their condition test and passing) to me for $45 + tax. Two years later, so far, so good.
I took the hit and got a Varta, been perfect since! It’s a second car that is often left for 3 weeks or more and I get a perfect start every time with the Varta battery.
Go for Varta.. i did the same for my BMW... BMW also uses Varta. Got the exact same spec from Dial-a-battery at 50% of stealership price. Car been working smoothly for last 9 months.
I have a varta that I've been using for 36 months now but the car is 100% parked indoors and never used for short trips where battery can't charge properly.
Bought VARTA 12V, 45/60 AH (not sure) battery with 20 months warranty for 230 Aed from New bharath pitstop, Al Qusais.
Go for Amaron or any battery with higher warranty period. Don't go for just 1 year as the weather in UAE is pretty harsh on batteries.
My MK7 is still rocking the Varta OEM battery from 2015 since new, and my MK4 has a "duralast" Gold H5 which has a 1/2016 stamp on it and it is still doing fine.
So maybe your dealer does but we receive ours from interstate and have Varta branding on them.
my 2019 GolfR battery died recently. well, it wouldn't hold any capacity and had to be charged every few days. anyway, i had my warranty apppointment today at the dealer and stood outside for an hour. i was wondering why it took so long. the new battery is a 000.915.105.CB.DSP. hopefully the AGM battery will do better with mine too.
