vs
Battery Exide or OEM KIA
I got a `EA530 exide 079te` for my leaf just over a year ago and so far it's still working perfect.
Pros: still working perfect
Vehicle:
Nissan Leaf
Part number: EA530 EXIDE 079TE
when we bought our 2024 Kia Sportage hybrid, the salesman was showing us around it and got around to popping the hood, I did not see a 12 volt battery.
Vehicle:
Kia Sportage
Exide are great batteries and are a tier 1 supplier with Yuasa, Bosch, Varta.
Pros: great batteries
Vehicle:
Volvo
IMHO, Exide works well till the last second and then dies off without any symptoms. Amaron shows alot of symptoms like extra cranking and lights dim for interior and dash lights when it's nearing its demise. Hence I moved to amaron. So should you.
Pros: Amaron shows symptoms
Cons: Exide dies without symptoms
After reading all replies and knowing the price of the dealers option, I took my chance with a Exide battery AGM 12-23, it was a perfect fit.
Pros: perfect fit
Part number: AGM 12-23
I don't think they are good at inverters, but I have used their battery for ups which lasted 4 years, now i am using the second one which completed one year
Pros: battery lasted 4 years
VW lists 3 batteries, 1 AGM (68 Ah, Varta) and 2 flooded (72 Ah, Varta and 59 Ah, Exide) that may be used.
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Another is that the OEM Kia battery just sucks…they fail. The fix is to get a new battery that doesn’t suck. Kia will replace the dead one within warranty but you’ll get another dodgy OEM battery. Most people seem to trend towards buying a good AGM aftermarket battery for this.
Pros: good AGM aftermarket battery
Cons: dodgy OEM battery
Vehicle:
Kia
Left with exide crap.
Cons: crap quality
Biggest issue was it ate batteries, never had a car go through so many batteries
Cons: ate batteries, went through many
Vehicle:
Kia
Mileage: 402336 km
