Battery YUASA or OEM KIA
when we bought our 2024 Kia Sportage hybrid, the salesman was showing us around it and got around to popping the hood, I did not see a 12 volt battery.
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.
I would stick with a Yuasa YBX3012 - they are known to work reliably in the Zoe so I would go from others experience.
Personally I'd always go with Bosch but recently had to get a new battery for my wife's car. I got a Yuasa battery and so far do good.
Halfords stock Yuasa which I've never had a problem with
I have the true start now. Previous one is yuasa from 2004 that lasts a good 17 years.
I’ve always used Yuasa and always get at least 7 year’s life
I’m just pulling out a 4+ year old Yuasa that only started giving me problems about 2 months ago. Gonna try the $30 Mighty Max special this time since it seems to have some favorable reviews and we’ll see what happens. ????
Put a Yuasa in my Street triple and it lasted 1.5 years almost exactly. Would keep it on the tender in cold months every so often, never killed it or discharged it, and still died which was disappointing for the price and the “OEM” brand.
