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.
And yet my 2008 VW had a Bosch battery out the factory ????♂️.
Fucking thing lasted 10 years or so though. So credit to Bosch for that one!
I've had good luck with Bosch (made by Varta iirc) and Yuasa.
Change the battery to a bosch one, I had this issue and my car does 600 miles a week for work took it to toyota and they just kept charging it then giving it back to die again the next Monday morning, they tried to say I wasn't driving it enough until they pulled up the service history (2020 with 54k miles) but they still wouldn't agree to replacing the battery
New battery fitted and all ok for about 2 months, then same problem. Took new battery out (AGM Bosch S5 A08) and charged it on the bench, left it there overnight. Next morning its reading 12.2v.
I actually like this change. It's telling me the actual battery charge. What I don't like is at least on my S 8 Ultra is it hits 85%, then starts discharging the battery. The battery gets as low as 81% before charging again. Personally I think this charge / discharge cycle is going to be more harmful long term than just charging to 100% and holding there. So I ended up turning it back off.
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 recently got one, somehow it feels less. Idk if it’s because of the software but it seems to be draining even while being idle. Which is weird. People are quoting 7-9 hrs of sot and i feel like am not getting anywhere near that.
I've had the Tab S9 since launch and the battery has always been naff. It's a great tablet let down by lousy battery life.
