I have the Energizer battery in mine. It's worked perfectly so far. The included posts are plug and play with the i3 terminals.
So now I will only use Energizer and Sanyo/Panasonic Eneloop bateries I use these rechargable ones in more expensive devices as they do not leek but have had great success with energizer and their max alkaline bateries both stored and in devices and none have leaked.
I get all my batteries in Screwfix. They do Varta brand which are exceptionally good for the price.
I have a snap-on torque wrench and duracell keeps doing that, I switched over to energizer and it stopped.
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.
The older VARTA battery could only hold a charge for 15 - 30 minutes at the end. It has been in use since January 2020 and was out of use for 8 months in 2022.
ZeniPower battery could still hold a charge for a long time. Estimating 5-7 hours.
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.
