vs
Battery Exide or OEM Hyundai
Reviews
Varta ist nur noch ein Name, Exide habe ich schon lange in Nutzung. Die erste nach 11 Jahren vorsorglich getauscht und die zweite ist jetzt schon seit 12 Jahren in Betrieb.
Pros: lange in Nutzung
I am on my second one in two years, their battery management is brilliant. I'm the summer I get well over 300 miles in my my Kona
Pros: brilliant battery management
Vehicle:
Hyundai
I’ve had a Hyundai Kona EV for 6 years now. I live in Kelowna BC where we get cold winters (-20C) and warm summers (+40C).
My Kona gets about 375-425 km range in dead of winter. It gets 475-525km range in summer. These values are the same now as they were 6 years ago when I bought it
It has a 64KwH battery. I have a level 2 charger in my garage (I put a 30amp dryer plug in the wall) my charger is programmed to charge over night 12am - 6am. That’s when I pay the least for power. Between $.09 - $.15 KwH
I drive around 100km each day or maybe 12-15KwH. Cost me between $1.08 - $2.25 each day to charge it. Max per month is around $70.00
If it was gas it would cost me about $250 -$300/month. I figure I’ve saved, over the last 6 years a minimum of $13,000.00 on fuel costs.
Don’t forget no oil changes, no break jobs (still
Original brakes in mint condition, regenerative brake system)
Pros: regenerative brake system, fuel costs savings
Vehicle:
Hyundai
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
Walmart EverStart (make sure it's at least a 2 year warranty. The economy power ones are junk) or you can get Exide batteries at Home Depot for pretty cheap.
Pros: good warranty option
Cons: economy power ones are junk
I\u2019m driving a 2023 Tucson Limited. I don\u2019t find Hyundai to be an attentive manufacturer. The car had a dead battery at 7,000 miles (no explanation)
Cons: dead battery, no explanation
Vehicle:
Hyundai Tucson
Mileage: 11200 km
I remember buying a brand new Hyundai in 2016 and the car only turned on once. Then I called them and they said they installed a bad battery and changed it lol. It went on to only last 5 years.
Cons: only lasted 5 years
Vehicle:
Hyundai
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
