vs
Battery Exide or OEM Audi
I have used exide battery+inverter for >10yrs and is still going good!
Pros: going good, long lasting
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.
Pros: Amaron lasts longer
Cons: Exide gives issues
Amaron all the way! I've always had to replace my exide batteries way before their actual expiry and their warranty claim is pathetic.
Pros: Amaron all the way
Cons: pathetic warranty claim
Both my Unicorn 160 and Access 125 have Exide. Zero issues.
Pros: zero issues
Vehicle:
Honda
Amaron is better, Exide has too much crank and start issues
Pros: Amaron is better
Cons: crank and start issues
I have amaron in scooty, Exide in Suzuki Gixxer and in my swift.
The Exide in my Gixxer laster 5 years plus! So I guess that's nice
Pros: lasted 5 years plus
Vehicle:
Suzuki
I drive a 15 year old gas powered Audi Q7. Still runs like new. My issue with EVs is you can't just keep them tuned up when they're old. No matter how good of care you take of it, the battery will decay and lose capacity.
Pros: runs like new
Cons: battery will decay
Vehicle:
Audi Q7
Yes, 2009 Audi TT, $800 as part of my yearly service in LA. Complained to Service advisor about the labor, and he took 20% off the battery portion.
Pros: 20% off
Cons: expensive labor
Vehicle:
Audi TT
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.
Cons: disappointed with it
Got exide for KTM, it gave up right after warranty, switched back to amaron. The first amaron battery lasted for 3 years without any hiccups.
Pros: Amaron lasted 3 years
Cons: Exide gave up quickly
