my battery is original but tests fine according to trusted vw dealership as of yesterday when passat got its 90k service. still i'm thinking of a preemptive replacement because of its age and it sits for 4-6 weeks regularly (impossible to trickle charge at my apartment) when i'm (was) flying abroad and to sw.
i'm a total newbie on car batteries despite reading the good information here, so i am just asking about which vendor is best to trust for a decent battery, correct installation and an easy nationwide guaranty? i (used to) drive my passat alot around east of the mississippi and i plan to relocate so having the latter is important to me.
vw dealership and batteries+ offer top of the line, recommended battery for $200, or aaa for $160. it seems that wm is leaving the car care business and i'm not a costco member. i rather not deal with military px anymore for car care because when bases lockdown i'm then s.o.o.l. in an emergency.
thanks for your advice!
