vs
Battery Duracell or OEM Mercedes
Reviews
The best lead acid type of battery is a Duracell/East Penn hybrid/house AGM deep cell. These have thicker plates and are typically used for RVs and boats. They can tolerate deeper discharge and are less susceptible to damage (AGM). They sacrifice a little instantaneous current output, but that's not needed on an EV.
Pros: tolerate deeper discharge
Cons: sacrifice current output
Everyone's suggesting things that might save you half a percent or so, but no one has pointed out that by driving at 80mph, you lose *around 30% more battery* than if you were doing 70mph over the same distance
Cons: lose battery at 80mph
We’ve always had luck with Duracell in our cars.
Pros: always had luck
For my Mercedes sprinter I had the same battery in it for 10 years. I went and bought it at the dealership. Since the last one lasted 10 years. I shouldn’t have a problem with it.
Pros: long lasting, reliable
Vehicle:
Mercedes Sprinter
The replacement battery I bought was a Duracell from Sam’s Club. Fit and worked fine.
Pros: worked fine, good fit
Vehicle:
Jeep Renegade
I’ve replaced several Duracell batteries recently that had been recently installed within the last few month. We’ve had good luck with power sonic, yusa, and first power.
Pros: good luck with Powersonic
Cons: Duracell fail quickly
Always like Duracell because I hate that damn bunny. But doesn't matter to me right now because my damn RMR is defective and drains the battery in 3 months.
Cons: battery drains quickly
Just bought a new G63, same issue!
Cons: same issue
I bought the battery last summer, drove the car around for about a month no problems.
I put the car away for autumn/winter.
Took it to auto parts store last night, checked in in the morning.
Employee brought it out, said it needed more time and put it back on "fast charger".
I come back 4hours later and they're telling me it exploded on the charger??
Pros: drove around for a month
Cons: exploded on the charger
Vehicle:
Mazda
I’ve had it 3.5 years and it just started doing the “Stop Vehicle Leave Engine Running” thing about a month ago.
Cons: battery warning started
