Battery OEM Honda or OEM Audi
When I experienced a sluggish start, it was the battery. In my experience, this car prefers Honda batteries. It’s been going strong for 3 years now. It’s also one of the more affordable batteries.
Pros: starts reliably, long lasting, affordable
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
Mileage: 170000 km
I still get my batteries from the dealership because they last the longest and cost the least, for some reason.
Pros: last longest, cost least
It's a lovely car, but very bad on the efficiency. We have a 55 and the range varies from 150 in the winter to 250 in the summer. Honestly, for the money you'll struggle to get more car, it's very comfortable, quick, and has mountains of room inside. Ours is a 2019 on 70k miles, and has had zero issues
Pros: very comfortable, quick
Cons: bad on the efficiency
Vehicle:
Audi
Mileage: 112654 km
Can confirm, worked at a battery store for a few years throughout college. Audis for some reason always lasted much longer than any other car brand.
My S4 battery is going on 6 years and it pops off like a brand new battery in Minnesota weather.
Pros: lasts much longer
Vehicle:
Audi S4
Currently, a bit over 3 grand (labour included), at least for the Civic/Accord Hybrids.
Pros: labor included
Cons: over 3 grand
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
I drive a 15 year old gas powered Audi Q7. Still runs like new. My issue with EVs is you can't just keep them tuned up when they're old. No matter how good of care you take of it, the battery will decay and lose capacity.
Pros: runs like new
Cons: battery will decay
Vehicle:
Audi Q7
Yes, 2009 Audi TT, $800 as part of my yearly service in LA. Complained to Service advisor about the labor, and he took 20% off the battery portion.
Pros: 20% off
Cons: expensive labor
Vehicle:
Audi TT
It is a great car to drive.\n\nThe battery range is very, very poor. On a cold day the range may be in the 120 range. It is exp naive to maintain as most parts on it are coded which means Audi dealer only
Pros: great car to drive
Cons: battery range very poor
Vehicle:
Audi
I replaced the battery on my wives 2009 honda accord. Started her up and it made this awful sound the second the AC kicked on. Bogged down the engine and made it run rough. It has never had AC issues until now and I'm sure it's coincidence with the battery changeout.
Cons: awful sound, engine bogged
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
3 yrs on a Honda battery had me smh honestly.
Cons: short lifespan
Vehicle:
Honda Odyssey
