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.
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.
My '11 Fit had a aftermarket 151R battery. Mine occasionally produced a similar noise such as this on cold day starts. I think the noise stems from the starter, perhaps the starter solenoid that doesn't retract after you release the key from start position. My issue went away after I replaced the battery
The factory battery is rubbish though. So get a better branded battery - varta or Bosch are good.
I have two Honda City and the first one had the battery changed after the first year, I knew this wasn't normal and Honda insisted that's perfectly normal.
It all boils down to the idling stop feature, to allow that feature these cars use a specific type of battery, but even then the idling stop completely destroys the battery, on top of being useless.
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.
