Also the original equipment Bosch battery that came in my wife's 2006 TDI Golf when we bought it in 2015. The good ones aren't available anymore by the time they wear out.
My truck has a 4 or 5 year old Bosch in it, still works great.
Factory exhaust manifold cooling and Bosch battery.
I purchased 2 as a drop in replacement for an old 1400VA APC UPS.
I couldn't find the datasheet on the bosch website but I found out via a few online posts that these batteries are actually manufactured by Exide.
The OE Panasonic battery in my WRX died roughly 12 minutes after I bought the car. It was the original, so it was 9ish years old. Impressive.
My MY2007 S2000 also came with Panasonic battery. I replaced it with Walmart battery in last summer (2015), So it ran for 8 years.
the IP64 battery cover can't close because the battery is too high, it should work no problem with any other 18V Bosch battery including the Procore 4.0Ah.
Good light though, it's really bright.
And heavy.
At one time Bosch batteries had a terrible reputation but they now have their quality control back on track.
I bought a Bosch battery from a respected online company in the UK. The only change I made was uprating from a 100Ah Varta I think the original was to a 110Ah Bosch S5 015 as I thought more storage would help as the car ages and things are naturally a bit more susceptible to failure. Battery lasted 3 years until about January/Feb 2024 when a cold snap hit and the battery just failed to hold a charge overnight.
I bought these both for the same exact car but both the box and product appear very different, and the bottom set ended up being ridden with parasitic drain!
