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.
Owner reviews for battery
I still have the original BMW battery on my 2005 e46 325i , I used a battery tester on it and still say it’s good
I use Deka sealed batteries so less offgassing messing up terminals.
Everyone likes to shit on BMW for being too complicated when it comes to having to register batteries with the car, but this is the result. Batteries in other cars die way more quickly.
I just changed my 2018 F36’s battery a few months ago. They really do last a long time.
And the super small battery…
I drove a first gen Chevy Volt before I bought my 2022 MYP. I actually loved the Volt but it didn't have much range. The Chevy Volt had about 37 miles of range and my round trip to work and back was 34 miles. I drove that car on all electric 95% of the time.
Battery died last month at 39,000 miles.
Our ‘17 Outback went through 4 batteries in the 7 years we owned it.
I bought a brand new '24 Outback Wilderness in August of 2023 and had to replace the battery within 18 months.
