Battery Tesla or OEM Volvo
I had to change the battery on my Volvo 940 7 years ago, it was the original battery from 1996 Wich means that my battery lasted for 22 Swedish winters.
Pros: lasted 22 years, endured Swedish winters
Vehicle:
Volvo 940
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
my dishwasher has around 200 mile motorway range on a 64kWh net battery, which'll get me from Oxford to Darlington on a single charge, I could get to Newcastle if I camp behind a truck for most of it. My car is also stupidly inefficient for an EV, better EVs like a ID.3 or Megane could go further with smaller batteries.
Pros: 200 mile motorway range
Cons: stupidly inefficient
Vehicle:
Volvo
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
As promised: 2019 M3 LR , 55k miles/88514km, latest Tesla Battery Health Test 83%
A bit worse than expected.
Pros: battery health test 83%
Cons: worse than expected
Mileage: 88514 km
I had an Volvo XC90 hybrid. The car is ok, but the battery/motor part is garbage. It has a 10kwh battery, but can only drive for 18 miles on battery, the energy efficiency is way low than my model X.
Cons: battery is garbage
Vehicle:
Volvo XC90
I do worry about the battery and 3 years in my big battery died and thankfully I was in my garage. I shudder to think if it had happened on a freeway! Tesla gave me a new battery but I still think about it often.
Cons: battery died, lingering worry
Knowing what I know now I would. My 2021 was built in July 2021 and about a year ago my car bricked on me and wouldn\u2019t start. I had zero warning ahead of time.
Pros: mobile service dame
Cons: car bricked, zero warning
