Battery YUASA or OEM BMW
For the new Niro EV get a 027 battery from a third party. I got a Yuasa 027 65Ah for £90 from Halfords UK.
I’ve had my iX for 2.5 years and have logged 122k miles. I haven’t noticed any degradation in battery capacity. Just the normal summer/winter fluctuations (live in Midwest).
I had one with the battery that lasted just under 12 years.... Old original BMW batteries are built different! Especially if the car is driven regularly.
Same with my 2008 BMW 535d. 900ah and still going strong
I had a battery in a 93 BMW last forever like that
On my Kia Soluto 3 years and 6 months, it was still ok but I got nervous coz the last PMS recommended that I change it already. I switched to Yuasa and I hope this will also last around the same time.
Yuasa has been the best for me. Running in Hondas, kawasaki, and Harleys. Shortest life span was 3 years on a ratbob I built that constantly had electrical issues draining my battery.
Yuasa is top end and I would buy over Bosch! I have Yuasa batteries in all my cars now.
Ich fahre im Moment nen BMW i3 von 2015 mit nur rund 15 kWh Batteriekapazität und knapp 80k km runter. Da die eh so klein ist und das Auto auch kein großartiges Lademanagement hat, knall ich (und wahrscheinlich alle Vorbesitzer auch) die Batterie eigentlich so gut wie immer auf 100%, was man ja eigentlich vermeiden soll. Das Auto liegt über den Daumen gepeilt ca. 10-15% (eher 10) unter den Angaben, die man so im Netz findet.
530e with a little over 20,000 miles shows 10 miles electric range on a nice summer day. It used to show 15 when new. BMW said that the drop was not warranty worthy.
