This is really straightforward to do. I replaced mine last September and was concerned about coding or needing to go to the dealer. My 2017 required none of that. Just take the old battery out and put a new one in. You'll have dash lights on afterwards, but all you need to do is turn the wheel all the way to one side and then the other.
I replaced mine in my driveway with a same size AutoZone Duralast Gold. With a coupon, I was out the door for less than $200. The car wintered outdoors at a Vermont ski resort and always started.
I JUST replaced my wife's 2013 Beetle battery with a Duralast from Autozone.
I used the duralast from autozone.
I use duralast and get about 4 years on a battery. No complaints at all.
Outback has a Duralast Gold. If it helps, we’ve had some harsh -30°f days the last few years since I upgraded my battery. No issues what so ever on it.
Kakabili ko lang ng Everest, so far no problems minus that one time na itinirik ako ng wala pang 2 months of ownership kasi defective yung battery. Common issue siya that happens around 6 months - 1 year, kaya ina-advice na palitan agad yung stock battery sa fecp na group, pero ang OA ng 2. months. Granted, napalitan naman agad battery for free pero ang hassle parin.
The Ford battery in my Fiesta is as old as car so 10 years but despite still being able to start car it would only charge to 50% of capacity
Both of mine were defective. Ford replaced them.
I've gone through two VW batteries in 32K miles under three years. They suck. Just replaced it with a Duralast Gold from Autozone which has a 3 year full replacement warranty and 5 year prorated.
