I got ten years on a Varta in my MB 212. When I changed it out I was really surprised it was the original w/97k on it.
Varta is pretty good
Just replaced this battery in my Leon. Got the Bosch 096 agm for £127 from Tayna batteries on eBay.
The original Varta battery lasted 11 years and still worked but began showing signs it needed replacing.
Get a Varta battery, lasts forever.
I currently run a Deka Intimidator in my rig and it's been problem free for 3 years now
Varta je možda malo skuplji, ali ga imam u kolima od 2016. godine bez izgleda da posustane ni malo. Predlažem da staviš najveći koji je fizički moguće, mislim da je kod mene to bio model od 77Ah sa 700A udarne struje.
I put in a Varta CP1254 A3, same form factor, similar enough specs.
UPDATE: I put in the bigger battery, it's great. The Cp1254 A4 gets me 1-2 hours extra use over the A3 and I believe even the original Z55H.
I just replaced my xm3 batteries (they are cp1254a3 with 60mah) and I replaced it with the newer version (cp1254a4 with 74mah). No issues and more capacity.
Just use a Deka ETX20L. I think they're 15 pounds or so and they're cheap and widely available. Mine seem to last about 2-3 years, although they usually die from me forgetting to turn the headlights off. I was able to recharge my last one using a wall charger and I squeezed another 6 months out of it before finally replacing it.
In my old Audi, I had a non-OEM battery and I did the +1 in the serial number trick. That battery failed in a couple of months. I honestly think it was a bad unit.
