Eine Nacht eingestecktes VCDS -> Batterie 9V | Posts 32+

Perhaps install a power brick or a similar device with a new battery that counteracts sulfation and thus the main cause of battery aging?

I have this thing in my 206, and I had it in two other vehicles before that. Just to remind you: The battery (Varta Silver) in my 206 is from 2005 (!), while the car is from 2006. So far, it's been working...

Mr. Teileman and Mr. Teilechef were very surprised by the early death.

Especially the still green, magical-looking eyes made her suspicious – but it's only looking into one cell.

Well, let's see how long the new one lasts.

Okay, please provide the German text you would like me to translate into English. I will only provide the translation.

I just skimmed through the thread, and well... you can have a lot of luck with batteries, but also quite a bit of bad luck.
My parents owned an Audi 80 B3, and they were the original owners.
The battery in this Audi has ALWAYS worked from 1989 to 2003, summer and winter.
In 2003, we turned in the car for a new one, and it still had the original factory battery.
By the way, it was a 55AH VAG battery (probably Varta at that time).

In the new car, a Passat 3BG that originally came with a 44Ah Banner battery, the battery had already given up after just under 2 years. After standing overnight, it wouldn't start in the morning.
A Moll M3 engine has been working in that Passat for the last 5 years!

I personally have a ... I'm not sure what brand it is... battery in my Audi A6 2.5 TDI (C4), with 60Ah capacity and a cold cranking current of 600A.
Have you seen anything with a +30% calcium boost?
So far, I haven't had any problems with it.

"In my '03 Leon, I originally had a Varta battery, which I replaced with a new Banner battery about a year and a half ago. The new Banner battery was just as dead as the old Varta. I put up with the weak Banner for a year until I got fed up and, after a long and fruitless battle with Banner, went to the dealer who quickly approved the warranty claim. I received a Varta in return. Banner is truly the worst; they promised improvements, but I don't trust those crooks anymore."
In the 2004 Ibiza, the original Varta battery is still performing exceptionally well with excellent starting power, even though it's been subjected to a lot of short trips. That's quality.
