Crappy "genuine VW battery/parts" for you. Any of my other OEM Japanese car batteries lasted much longer. My 2011 Nissan 370z OEM battery lasted 7 years. It could've probably gone even longer if not for without driving it for long during the covid pandemic.
My go to now is odyssey, though they are fairly pricy. If i dont have a choice, like when my battery literally [exploded](https://www.reddit.com/r/Justrolledintotheshop/comments/pqcbcm/i_sounded_like_a_shotgun/], i get optima.
I swear by odyssey batteries in particular the pc1500st
I've installed the Odyssey Extreme battery in my Outback. These are AGM with 99% pure lead, not the alloy. Best battery I've come across.
With winter coming, I bought an odyssey extreme battery for my 2017. I’m not going to risk it.
I have one of these and its been perfect for 5 years with a 700watt sound system on a v8 truck.
I've had decent luck with Odyssey batteries
I have a 2015 Nissan LEAF SV. In -25C or colder (and to be fair, it's rarely -25C (not counting the windchill) during the day), with moderate heat on (set heat to 19C or less) plus heated steering wheel and heated seats (both of which use relatively very little power), I can lose a good 60% of my range
Problem I have with my 2016 is I go threw lot of batterys , first one lasted 3 years which told it comes with 3 year battery 2 one lasted 2 years ,The third one only one year..So brought to dealer. They checked connections and hooked up meter left hooked up for 2 days..It draws .07 amps when just sitting.
Odyssey and wasn't a fan died quick
