Cranking:

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

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Pros: 6.5 years of use

Part number: Q85/115D23L

Varta are the best ones I ever used. I use them in my car key too and its the only battery that lasts years instead of 2 months at most.

Pros: lasts years

Cons: lasts 2 months

I still use a factory Audi (Varta) from 2014, so 11 years, but I'm not sure it will survive the first -15-25C this winter.

Pros: 11 years of use

Cons: uncertain winter survival

Vehicle: Audi
