I wasn’t happy with the replacement options for the old Mercury batteries. So, I stumbled upon the Varta V80H—a battery usually used in servers—and I built a charger for it. It’s the perfect match: it has good discharge characteristics, high capacity, slow self-discharge, and it's rechargeable!
I get all my batteries in Screwfix. They do Varta brand which are exceptionally good for the price.
I got ten years on a Varta in my MB 212. When I changed it out I was really surprised it was the original w/97k on it.
Varta is pretty good
Just replaced this battery in my Leon. Got the Bosch 096 agm for £127 from Tayna batteries on eBay.
The original Varta battery lasted 11 years and still worked but began showing signs it needed replacing.
Get a Varta battery, lasts forever.
Varta je možda malo skuplji, ali ga imam u kolima od 2016. godine bez izgleda da posustane ni malo. Predlažem da staviš najveći koji je fizički moguće, mislim da je kod mene to bio model od 77Ah sa 700A udarne struje.
Have a Chevy Volt. The battery is only good for 22-40 miles depending on outside temp. It gets plugged in at night and costs $14-18 a month. For the past 3 years we have used less then 25 gallons of gas.
Not many cons. The car is much better on electricity than when the gas motor has to kick in. Much quieter and has a bit more throttle response so I don't like it when the battery runs out.
What is the sound of one hand clapping? Does a bear sh1t in the woods? If the bear does, is the turd a uniform size and power that will work with attributes of all the other different sized bears out there?
In my old Audi, I had a non-OEM battery and I did the +1 in the serial number trick. That battery failed in a couple of months. I honestly think it was a bad unit.
