I replaced the battery in my '16 F150 last year - I'd say it had a good run. Went with another OE battery since the original lasted so long.
I wasn’t happy with the replacement options for the old Mercury batteries. So, I stumbled upon the Varta V80H—a battery usually used in servers—and I built a charger for it. It’s the perfect match: it has good discharge characteristics, high capacity, slow self-discharge, and it's rechargeable!
I get all my batteries in Screwfix. They do Varta brand which are exceptionally good for the price.
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.
Try Varta, I replaced crappy ac delco twice in a year, replacement battery died in less than 2 months
Replaced it with varta, going 3 months strong now
Am luat una noua, Varta. Firma, calitate ????. Am luat-o acum 2 ani, start-stop a mers fix 3-4 luni, si acum, mai ales cand e frig, se chinuie.
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.
