I didn't get long lasting power from "any brand name". Switching to Energizer or Panasonic did much better, like 2 years.
Now I stick to Energizer Max batteries, they claim a 10 year shelf life, and I have some that are 5 years old that are still near 100% state of charge, with no leaks.
I had an Energizer battery last 13 years in my ranger. Problem was when it came time to change it I couldn't find them anywhere.
Bought my Energizer back in 2013, haven’t let me down once :)
Put a new Bosch AGM in.
Probably the easiest car to swap a battery on imo. Just remove and replace, negative off first. Bosch is good quality, but not required...Use 80Ah 12V.
the IP64 battery cover can't close because the battery is too high, it should work no problem with any other 18V Bosch battery including the Procore 4.0Ah.
Good light though, it's really bright.
And heavy.
At one time Bosch batteries had a terrible reputation but they now have their quality control back on track.
I bought a Bosch battery from a respected online company in the UK. The only change I made was uprating from a 100Ah Varta I think the original was to a 110Ah Bosch S5 015 as I thought more storage would help as the car ages and things are naturally a bit more susceptible to failure. Battery lasted 3 years until about January/Feb 2024 when a cold snap hit and the battery just failed to hold a charge overnight.
I bought these both for the same exact car but both the box and product appear very different, and the bottom set ended up being ridden with parasitic drain!
