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.
Didn’t even have to replace the battery in that time (11 years).
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
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.
I have used Bosch, Panasonic, and now Amaron in my 2013 WK2. Bosch lasted as much as my previous 2 Mopar lasted.
I went to a Škoda dealer to look at a car to buy. The car was a Rapid 1.4 SE DSG which was advertised at £8995. The car was stored remotely from the dealer, basically in a field. The battery was completely flat.
A few hours later he came back with a new S4 018 Bosch battery (original one was Yuasa HSB056). He assured me it had the same specs, despite being a different brand (40Ah, 12V). He installed it, and then told me it was a “slightly different base size” from the old one.
