Bosch, m-a tinut 8ani. Acum tot bosch de 70/75am luat.
I have used exide battery+inverter for >10yrs and is still going good!
Amaron does last a whole lot longer than exide which just starts giving issues after warranty period. I had an issu in both my car and bike previously dues to exide. Switched to amaron once and did not give any issues till now.
Amaron all the way! I've always had to replace my exide batteries way before their actual expiry and their warranty claim is pathetic.
Both my Unicorn 160 and Access 125 have Exide. Zero issues.
Amaron is better, Exide has too much crank and start issues
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.
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.
The Exide extreme duty is showing signs of age, it's entirely possible I'll limp it through the next 4 weeks or so and it will get to next winter. It is a 4 litre NA diesel so start demands are pretty high when cold and with the glow plugs.
It 4 years old well past it's warranty period but frankly I'm a little disappointed with it, mainly as the battery is well over and above what the vehicle specifies, it gets regular two hour highway runs (twice a week) and very few short trips.
