Battery Varta 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.
Been pretty happy with my Exide/Durastart batteries. Have yet to see one die. Been using them for the past 5-6 years.
Last batteries I’ve owned where Exide Sonnak, very happy with price, longevity and performance.
I've put my trust in Varta. Previously had Bosch. I think you can put your trust in pretty much any brand if its covered by a 2-year warranty.
We needed to replace the original German Varta battery in our '14 A4 (date code Jun '13) after the first polar vortex in early '19. OE list was $227 (non AGM), discounted to about $195 at the local Audi parts counter. Advance Auto had an equivalent H9 for about $170, but the local store only had one with a late '16 date code (and proper BEM sticker). So they sold it to me as a \"used battery\" (after running their condition test and passing) to me for $45 + tax. Two years later, so far, so good.
Exide are good made in usa
I took the hit and got a Varta, been perfect since! It’s a second car that is often left for 3 weeks or more and I get a perfect start every time with the Varta battery.
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).
Go for Varta.. i did the same for my BMW... BMW also uses Varta. Got the exact same spec from Dial-a-battery at 50% of stealership price. Car been working smoothly for last 9 months.
It was a Varta battery. And dial a battery and car guru provide similar services right? And I only talked about battery prices as the service to come to my place was provided via insurance. Secondly yes I accepted it as I had to go out in a hurry but in my opinion they seem to be expensive when directly compared to their competitors.
