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.
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.
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.
I have a varta that I've been using for 36 months now but the car is 100% parked indoors and never used for short trips where battery can't charge properly.
Bought VARTA 12V, 45/60 AH (not sure) battery with 20 months warranty for 230 Aed from New bharath pitstop, Al Qusais.
Go for Amaron or any battery with higher warranty period. Don't go for just 1 year as the weather in UAE is pretty harsh on batteries.
My MK7 is still rocking the Varta OEM battery from 2015 since new, and my MK4 has a "duralast" Gold H5 which has a 1/2016 stamp on it and it is still doing fine.
I have a 2019 Subaru outback. The battery dies every two months and I am left stranded.
The OEM battery sucks I upgraded mine to an AGM with an extra 100 or so CCA. A better battery will also let your auto start stop last longer. Stock battery would never last a stop light for while under load new battery gives me a lot more time even under load.
My battery keeps dying if I dont use my car for 1-2 days and Subaru is failing to address the issues.
