Battery AC DELCO or OEM Volvo
I had to change the battery on my Volvo 940 7 years ago, it was the original battery from 1996 Wich means that my battery lasted for 22 Swedish winters.
My 2017 original battery stayed alive for 8 years and 148k miles fascinated me how long it lasted and the fact that the auxiliary battery is still fine
The factory battery in my 2007 S60R lasted just under 10 years, and I thought that was remarkable. Much more expensive than an auto store battery though but you get what you pay for I guess
I just replaced my 2012 Volvo XC 60 battery. The car has 155k miles and the battery lasted for over 13 yrs. I drive in cold weather for over 6months/yr.
Longest battery I had was from AC delco, lasted 10y! But apparently they are different now.
Didn’t even have to replace the battery in that time (11 years).
My 3 years old XC60 battery has been diagnosed as bad 55% last 2 weeks ago, I said to them keep it as I feel they are still good and road worthy. Gonna do a snapshot again at another 6 months to evaluate.
Paid charging is problematic mainly because the T8 charges so slow. You'd have to leave your car at a charger for like 5.5 hours to fill the battery.
I had an Volvo XC90 hybrid. The car is ok, but the battery/motor part is garbage. It has a 10kwh battery, but can only drive for 18 miles on battery, the energy efficiency is way low than my model X.
Worst batteries I've ever had the misfortune to buy. Both died within the space of 3 months and wouldn't put out any power whatsoever. No matter if I tried to charge them, it made no difference.
