Battery Exide or OEM KIA
My Maruti Suzuki OEM Exide battery lasted 5 years.

Vehicle:
Suzuki
For my Tiago, car came with Exide. And it lasted 4 years.
Pros: lasted 4 years
Swift petrol 2017 model with AGS. The OEM Exide battery lasted until 2022 (5 years). I actually ruined the OEM battery by overfilling it with distilled water ????. Else, it might have lasted longer. Got a Bosch battery after that and it's still running with no issues.
Pros: long battery life
Cons: overfilling ruined battery
Vehicle:
Suzuki Swift
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'm at over 90k miles in a 2022 Kia EV6 and haven't had an ICCU issue. All I've done outside normal wear and tear like tires is upgraded to an AGM 12V battery to solve crappy OEM battery problems
Pros: upgraded to AGM battery
Cons: crappy OEM battery
Vehicle:
Kia
Mileage: 90000 km
I have used exide battery+inverter for >10yrs and is still going good!
Pros: going good, long lasting
When i changed my battery in my Kia eSoul (same car, different brand) the only thing that happened was that the aux bat SOC said 255 for some time. Then car calibrated itself to the new battery and said the right value.
Pros: car calibrated itself
Cons: aux bat SOC said 255
Vehicle:
Kia
My husband\u2019s used Kia EV 6 \u201822 had a 12volt die. Bought a new one under $200 and used a YouTube video to replace.
Pros: easy to replace
Cons: 12volt died
Vehicle:
Kia
My Bullet needs Amiron, not happy with Exide. It's some design tuning, I suppose
Cons: not happy with Exide
Mine died at about 44k. Good news is Kia is fully covering the replacement and the mileage warranty restarts with the new battery
Pros: replacement covered by warranty, warranty restarts
Cons: battery died prematurely
Vehicle:
Kia
Mileage: 44000 km
