For the new Niro EV get a 027 battery from a third party. I got a Yuasa 027 65Ah for £90 from Halfords UK.
Bosch batteries in my older bmw lasted around 5 years but I was told it’s recommended to change every 2 years.
On my Kia Soluto 3 years and 6 months, it was still ok but I got nervous coz the last PMS recommended that I change it already. I switched to Yuasa and I hope this will also last around the same time.
Change mine in my 2016 Golf R to this battery and it's been great. EFB shite didn't even last the first 3yrs.
Yuasa has been the best for me. Running in Hondas, kawasaki, and Harleys. Shortest life span was 3 years on a ratbob I built that constantly had electrical issues draining my battery.
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 is top end and I would buy over Bosch! I have Yuasa batteries in all my cars now.
I find that the Bosch batteries I regularly sell last 5-7 years or 5-7 months.
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!
