Battery OEM Honda or OEM Mercedes
Reviews
Everyone's suggesting things that might save you half a percent or so, but no one has pointed out that by driving at 80mph, you lose *around 30% more battery* than if you were doing 70mph over the same distance
Cons: lose battery at 80mph
For my Mercedes sprinter I had the same battery in it for 10 years. I went and bought it at the dealership. Since the last one lasted 10 years. I shouldn’t have a problem with it.
Pros: long lasting, reliable
Vehicle:
Mercedes Sprinter
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
I drive a 2019 CRV and was thinking about a new battery, doing research man it seems like today's batteries don't last, I figured i got 6 yrs with a Honda so I stuck with their brand
Pros: 6 years with Honda
Cons: batteries don't last
Vehicle:
Honda
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
Battery on my '22 HRV Sport died within the first year of owning the car. Honda agreed it was defective.
Pros: Honda agreed defective
Cons: died within one year
Vehicle:
Honda
I have two Honda City and the first one had the battery changed after the first year, I knew this wasn't normal and Honda insisted that's perfectly normal.
It all boils down to the idling stop feature, to allow that feature these cars use a specific type of battery, but even then the idling stop completely destroys the battery, on top of being useless.
Cons: idling stop destroys battery
Vehicle:
Honda City
I’ve had it 3.5 years and it just started doing the “Stop Vehicle Leave Engine Running” thing about a month ago.
Cons: battery warning started
Some of these OEM batteries they choose to use are shit.
Cons: OEM batteries are bad
Vehicle:
Honda
