Battery Tesla or YUASA
I have a ‘21 (Dec 2020) M3 LR AWD w/19”. I’ve put 52K miles on it so far. Generally speaking, I’ve seen very little degradation.
I bought a used 2019 LR in 2020 and my estimated range is 302 miles with 48k miles.
My Scout sixty battery just died after 5 years. The longest living battery I've had. I went looking for replacements and due to availability and quality I chose the Yuasa YTX14AH-BS. I've used Yuasa in all my previous motorcycles (BMWs) with no problems so when I found they also made batterys for Indians, I bought one. That was just two weeks ago but so far no problems.
If you change the type from flooded wet cell to AGM, you must code the BCM to change the charging parameters.
buy original YUASA . it is the best choice.
Can’t attest for AJC but Yuasa is a quality driven company that is widely used as original equipment. If your usage is not critical or if you trust the recommendation of battery clerk then you can go with the cheaper battery, otherwise I strongly recommend Yuasa
Yuasa YTX14AH-BS is the OEM high capacity battery. I don't think there is a better one you can buy, even spending more money.
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.
I'm using a Yuasa with a 4 year warranty. The optima yellow is good but not worth 3 and half times the price for twice the life span of a normal battery unless you plan on deep discharging it a few times. I just think they're a little over priced for what you get.
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.
