Battery OEM Honda or OEM Volvo
My 2017 original battery stayed alive for 8 years and 148k miles fascinated me how long it lasted and the fact that the auxiliary battery is still fine
Pros: stayed alive for 8 years, long lasting
Vehicle:
Volvo S60
Mileage: 238182 km
The factory battery in my 2007 S60R lasted just under 10 years, and I thought that was remarkable. Much more expensive than an auto store battery though but you get what you pay for I guess
Pros: lasted just under 10 years, remarkable lifespan
Cons: much more expensive
Vehicle:
Volvo
I just replaced my 2012 Volvo XC 60 battery. The car has 155k miles and the battery lasted for over 13 yrs. I drive in cold weather for over 6months/yr.
Pros: lasted over 13 years, good in cold weather
Vehicle:
Volvo XC60
Mileage: 249448 km
Didn’t even have to replace the battery in that time (11 years).
Pros: long lasting
Vehicle:
Volvo XC70
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
My 3 years old XC60 battery has been diagnosed as bad 55% last 2 weeks ago, I said to them keep it as I feel they are still good and road worthy. Gonna do a snapshot again at another 6 months to evaluate.
Pros: still good and road worthy
Cons: diagnosed as bad 55%
Vehicle:
Volvo XC60
And the super small battery…
Cons: super small
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
That battery is absolutely cooked, sounds like the cells have sulfated to hell or there's internal damage from deep cycling
The fact that it's only taking 72-94Wh when it should be 600Wh is screaming dead cells, and that voltage drop from 12.8 to 4v in 2 hours is not normal even with parasitic draw
Pros: screaming dead cells
Cons: battery is cooked
The battery is trash - if it was at 4v, the cells are either internally buckled/shorted - or the AGM is damaged and thus will not hold any charge (no capacity).
Pros: check charging voltage/current
Cons: battery is trash
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
