Battery / Electrical Problems

[Vexed]

Odd that your original battery was a Sebang Brand (Manufactured) original fitment Skoda Battery.
That must be how they cut costs...

Is your new battery a Varta or Excide (Manufactured) battery?

I can't really tell who the manufacturer is, the battery has tight sleeve around it.

Thanks for uploading the images.
A bit hard to tell what he manufacturer of your new battery is (even though it says Volkswagen Original Batterie).

The 000915105EC EFB battery is a fairly small battery, I assume you have a 162TSI?

I am suprised it is an EFB and not an AGM Battery.

Anyway, all under warranty and back on the road, WELL DONE!!!

No mine is a 206... After reading about start-stop batteries I also thought it is an AGM battery, but it seems they chose to save some money on that... I wonder what battery is on the Passat R or the Arteon.
By the way, in the future, is it safe to replace an EFB battery with an AGM equivalent?

I searched the Varta UK website for the suitable battery for my car, and as you said, they recommended a slightly larger AGM battery.

This one:

No issues changing to an AGM in the future, however I hope you get a good 5 plus years on this battery!

The main thing is the specs of the battery are the same as what just came out of the car, so all good there!

Yeah I hope so too... Many thanks for the information.

checked mine - it has a battery made from Austria.
i got a brand new MY17 162TSi.

strange how u ended up with a korean battery?!?!

[Umai Naa!!]

Could've been replaced at some point prior to delivery, but after it left the production plant.

No idea... That was the battery I received with the car...

its interesting looking at the pics.

Vexed's previous Korean battery has the same part number as the Austrian battery currently in my car.
However Vexed's new Austrian battery has a different part number altogether!!
specs-wise, they're all the same at 12V 69Ah 360A DIN 680A - EFB

dark5had0w = 6R0 915 105B (Made in Austria)
Vexed old = 6R0 915 105B (Made in Korea)
Vexed new = 000 915 105 EC (Made in Austria)
