It's shocking that there's even recond batteries like Varta. Surely BMW wouldn't want to be in the recond battery business. Stakes too high. Most likely it's from the shady BMW importers.

I bought a 2 steps plastic ladder when I had the Toyota Unser.
Easy to wash the top.

Most Varta batteries imported from Europe have week/year on the battery terminal (positive or negative, cannot remember)

Those vendors usually recharge them, grind off the week/year and resell

Wait a minute. Here's a wild thought, are batteries being dumped into our country under a guise as battery business ?

I think my varta is from Korea.

Black or Blue Dynamic?
If so, from Korea.
Same as those Delkor, GP, Energizer. From the same factory

Forgot liao
I remembered is one level higher than q85, like 60Ah that model.

Which battery last longer in the market now ??

Q85 is higher than 60ah....

What car do u drive?

Mazda 6 2.5L

I turned off i-stop permanently d. Don't need to buy so high end ones

Btw, anyone routed their battery to boot before ??
That should prolong battery life right since it's not in engine bay area

For varta

Usually

55D23L
80d23L
95D23L (Q85)
115d23L (Q85)

2 years consider good already....


It is not those Varta AGM. Definitely made in Korea

Isn't it funny.

Here we are or here I am thinking of ways of how to limit the load unto our modern car battery, and there we have manufacturers increasing the number of USB slots inside the cars.

Selling us features like start/stop functions, so that we have the opportunity to turn it off permanently ?

I wonder what will manufacturers think of next, just to entice and close the deal with buyers.

It's a strange world. 😂

Its somewhere in this forum that forummer(s) have succeeded in relocating the battery to the back. Hopefully they read this and are willing to help you out.

How long is the Warranty Period ?

Using Amaran NS60 on my city GM6...next month the battery will mark 4 years old...SC suggest me to change the batt, 75% balance...not sure true or not...

1 year warranty for all Varta sold in Malaysia by official distributor.

NS60? Possible can last much longer since the original size is NS40

Just visit any shops that have the battery tester, check the health of the battery for confirmation.

DIN100 AGM for RM800??!!

So cheap? What brand?

varta black 46b24ls, cca tested only 225CCA. kinda weak and I noticed it is weak to start a CR-V. The car is daily driven, no problem with the alternator, the engine can runs also when taking out the battery

Without a formal Battery Test Report (example below), you are not obliged to listen to anyone.



Oops forgotten about this. When the RED Battery Lights up on the instrument panel, I would say the battery is about going to be done for. You probably have minutes or an hour or two to go.

Some people hearing are so sharp that they are able to pick up faint noises of weakness in the battery ahead of time.
