Battery Tesla or Exide
We’ve been using Luminous inverter with an Exide battery for about a year now. No issues so far, works well to provide backup for about 4 hours.
Pros: works well, no issues
Been pretty happy with my Exide/Durastart batteries. Have yet to see one die. Been using them for the past 5-6 years.
Pros: happy, have yet to die
Last batteries I’ve owned where Exide Sonnak, very happy with price, longevity and performance.
Pros: price, longevity, performance
Exide are good made in usa
Pros: good quality, made in USA
I just purchased an Exide battery at Home Depot yesterday for my 2002 Jetta Wagon. It was only $109.99.....about $50 less expensive than anything comparable in any of the big 4 parts stores, locally. It also has the best warranty of all of them (3 year replacement).
Pros: best warranty, less expensive
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Had a Tesla (my username checks out) Model S since 2012 in Ottawa. No problem. Prepare to lose range during winter. (20%ish ) Preheating is key. Check out PlugShare for charging stations. I drove the car in -32 and +32 ! It’s great.
Pros: no problem
Cons: lose range during winter
Tesla Model 3 long range and 2018 Leaf for over a year now.
Winter is about 30% less range at very cold, worse for short drives where you need to heat a lot for the whole drive (and if battery is cold). In the later case you're near home so it doesn't matter.
Pros: instantaneous torque at 0
Cons: 30% less range
How practical is a Tesla for a person with a 30-mile commute (each way)? Between my commute and running around, I probably spend $80 per week on gas.
However, I have had nothing but bad experiences with Exide batteries. I've bought three, and all have died within 2 years.
Cons: died within 2 years
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
A month ago I bought a 2022 M3P with 7k miles, was at 310 estimated fully charged, now 280 all of a sudden at 10k miles.
Pros: 310 estimated fully charged
Cons: 280 all of a sudden
Mileage: 10000 km
