Battery Replacement

Hi, maybe i have to replace my Battery Exide Ek 950 AGM Start & Stop 4 year old with a new one

I am evaluating the following brands: (more easy available in my city)

1) Varta G14 AGM Code: 595 901 085 850 A / 95 Ah

2) FIAMM VR 850 EcoFORCE Start & Stop AGM

3) EXIDE (same i have)

LR 4 2012 (no start & stop)


Thanks for your suggestions

Ok thanks but with Exide I have not been satisfied...it lasted only 4 years; when I was not using the car for several days I connected the battery to the maintainer (CTeck -AGM mode)..

Always found Yuasa are ok and do the job.
I think you're looking for a Yuasa 019

When choosing a battery, be careful that you choose one that is designed for the stop/start vehicles. It's easy to simply look for a battery for a D4, but if you get one compatible for the earlier D4 and D3 without stop/start, you are asking for premature failure.

Needless to say, the stop/start compatible ones are a chunk more expensive. A quick check on the Halfords site (for example) shows they list the Yuasa HSB110Silver for non-start stop vehicles at £117. But a Halfords 019AGM for the start stop vehicles for £186.

But as Bardley says, Yuasa make a good battery. Just get the right one.

Ok my car wouldn't need an AGM battery as it doesn't have a Start & stop device

I’m not so sure, the MY12 I had didn’t have stop start but was fitted with an AGM battery.there is a few threads on here to suggest AGM batteries were standard on the D4 or at least by MY11.

Early D4 that weren’t AGM from the factory (like mine), were switched to AGM. It’s a better battery tech for this vehicle due to the heavy electrical loads it puts the batteries through. You’ll be ok without one but will get less life out of a standard cell battery.

FWIW ... I suspect most batteries will fail in under 5 years. If you get from Halfrauds, 5 year warranty one fails at, say year 3, they replace it and you get a battery guaranteed until 5th anniversary of original being bought. Chances are you'll get 3 maybe 4 years from it. So say 7 years for your outlay.

AGMs will fair belter, so say each does 4 years you get 8 years.

So, divide costs of battery by 7 or 8 depending on tech and that's what they really cost you per year.

AGM batteries are more tolerant of low states of charge, which is a downside of smart regenerative alternators.
