I purchased 2 as a drop in replacement for an old 1400VA APC UPS.
I couldn't find the datasheet on the bosch website but I found out via a few online posts that these batteries are actually manufactured by Exide.
Pros: perfect battery spec
They put in bigger batteries into the new III series cameras, and after using one for a bit, the improvement is drastic. with my a6300, I would go through ~2-3 batteries on a day trip, but with the a9 and it's new battery, you can comfortably get through a day without worrying about the battery.
Pros: drastic improvement, long lasting
Cons: expensive OEM battery
Optima battery recommended. Expensive but large capacity for emergencies.
Pros: large capacity
Cons: expensive
I have become a BIG fan of yellow top optima batteries. Mine tests out OVER 1000 CCA (only about a year old) sealed- Acid can never leak out. Deep cycle, you can run it dead without damage. Good warranty, The the batteries are built to take extreme vibrations, and have a superior design to connect the plates inside with a more solid connection.
Pros: sealed, deep cycle
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Just got off the phone with my dealer to check, just in case they had a different update. Turns out my VIN has a recall on the battery. He stated as long as it's under 3 yr/36k it's eligible for replacement. Something to do with the connection was the reason for recall. Needless to say I have an appt. next week for a free battery replacement. My 2016 is at 2 yr/22k. I've had no issues myself other than the time it died while I was fiddling around in VCDS in the garage with the light switch in Auto (clearly my fault) :banghead: Thanks for the free battery replacement VW :thumbup:
Pros: free battery replacement
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 22000 km
Took my car to the dealership last week for warranty work on a leaking water pump and they told me that there was a recall on my battery. Battery was replaced the same day, had no prior notice of the recall before the visit.
Pros: battery replaced same day
The stock VW battery in my Jetta was 380CCA, and it started on super cold mornings alot quicker/easier than this 600CCA Everstart ive got in there now.
Pros: quicker/easier start
Cons: only lasted 3 years
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 80000 km
I own a 2006 Ford F-350 with a 6.0, have always ran Motorcraft brand batteries(I work for Ford) but lately I feel like they are not as good of quality as they have always been. My current set is just shy of 3 years old and both are now testing bad. I do have a permanently mounted battery tender that I plug in almost every night and the charging system and cables are in excellent shape.
Cons: reduced quality, short lifespan
Vehicle:
Ford
In March of this year I replaced my battery for 98 Civic Ex with an autozone Ac Delco one. With the colder days I started to notice slower cranks if the car had been sitting a day or longer.
Cons: slower cranks in cold
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
