Battery Bosch or OEM FORD
Why on earth would you pay $600 for battery + terminal. I bought recently a BOSCH AGM for $235 and installed it for free by myself after watching a tutorial on youtube.
if you have a costco membership they sell the bosch batteries for a bit more but theyre amazing. 4 year warranty too
I noticed that between 4ah and 5ah battery is little difference, but not much, 15% i would say. BUT 5.5 procore seems like 50% better than 4AH bosch battery and at least 15-20% stronger than bosch 5AH battery. When i say stronger, it is noticable in speed,strenght when i cut pellets, or drill concrete, or doing some 100mm or larger screws.
I used euro car parts 444770127 which is a mid range bosch battery. Don't remember any issues
Bosch, m-a tinut 8ani. Acum tot bosch de 70/75am luat.
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.
The Ford battery in my Fiesta is as old as car so 10 years but despite still being able to start car it would only charge to 50% of capacity
Bosch - 2.5 years so far,
Varta - 1.3 years before dying
After 7 sets of battery drains, I installed a new set and left it on a shelf untouched for a week. Turned on and dead. Made a warranty claim with Bosch to which their lazy troubleshooting reply:
Let me start by apologizing on behalf of BOSCH for any inconvenience this has caused you. I performed a complete inspection: I 1st charged up your lithium battery. I then calibrated & tested unit with both alkaline & lithium batteries: PASSED. I know it’s an inconvience. But: Leaving any batteries in unit when not in use: ( Unit will drain all battery types )—( Unit self discharges batteries when not in use ) --That is why Bosch put in manual tom remove batteries. PG# 21—Attached – ( they actually don’t say how long the “ extended period is “) That way it is not considerd a factory defect. Other than that: unit is operating to all Manufacurers Specification & Tolerances. Best regards,
-Well I'm never buying another Bosch product again with customer service like that. Pissed that I bought this expensive paperweight. What product in today's world drains batteries when not in use? Clearly flawed engineering they are hiding and do not value the end users. A recall is in order.
Stock battery lang na mabilis palitan ang naging issue.
