I usually get a Duralast Gold from pepboys. Not the cheapest model, but not the super premium one either. Most CCA.
Bosch batteries in my older bmw lasted around 5 years but I was told it’s recommended to change every 2 years.
Change mine in my 2016 Golf R to this battery and it's been great. EFB shite didn't even last the first 3yrs.
We have a 2009 Fiesta 1.4 petrol and replaced the battery with a Bosch battery 5 years ago after the same issue. The car does a few short journeys a week so not ideal but there's no signs that the battery is about to go flat.
Yuasa are high quality. I generally get Bosch S4 or S5 as they've never let me down.
I replaced mine in my 2018 GLE63s with an aftermarket one from Auto Zone (Duralast Platinum). I finally got my start/stop feature back which I had forgotten about and also forgotten how annoying it was to have it ????
I have used Bosch, Panasonic, and now Amaron in my 2013 WK2. Bosch lasted as much as my previous 2 Mopar lasted.
The mechanic I go to gives me Bosch and they last around 2 years if not more. But then they do die within a day when they do.
I switched to Bosch after that. that failed after 2.5 years, just under warranty. so it can happen with any company. some batches might have good quality some do not.
My experience: Stay away from Bosch.
