BCI Group 49 Car Battery, 12V 95Ah Size H8 Automotive Battery Premium Maintenance Free AGM Batteries, 900CCA, 160RC

It arrived quicker than I expected and was very well packed. I topped off the charge as you should before the initial installation. It arrived with I'm guessing an 80% charge but may have been more.It fit perfectly in my Jaguar Vanden Plas and is working as it should and we'll see how it performs in the long run. If it functions as advertised its a very good deal.I needed a battery that can deliver and have a resting voltage of at least 12.5v or the computers could start giving me issues. It's a Jag thing. This one has settled in at 12.68v which is perfect. My old battery was getting old and was settling in at 12.38v which was working but I needed to do some diagnostics and needed a stable and correct baseline to work from. Plus this winter would likely have killed it so better to change it when its nice out.For under 200 dollars this seemed like a bargain. I could've spent 450 for an oem Bosch but who's got that kinda money for a battery?I was hesitant due to this being a "start stop" battery and not knowing anything about this kind of battery. After reading all the info I could find about this one I didn't see anything to stop me from using it in my regular old school start and drive car so I bought it. Plus they advertise it as being compatible so all i can figure out is its pretty heavy duty and made for abuse. I think it may be similar to a deep cycle battery but haven't confirmed that. All the more reason to luv it if it is.Si far so good. I took a chance on this company because it felt right. Its a new product and I'm all for having the latest technology. Its made in China but what isn't? They have plenty of experience in manufacturing and I've not had any regrets yet so there ya go.If it takes a dump or misses the mark I'll update this. I've only just begun this journey mid-September 2024. I hope to get 5 yrs out of it since it'll have an easy life. Time will tell.

I was a little skeptical, a comparable AGM battery is almost double the cost at my local brick and mortar store. Could it really be any good?Lo and behold, this battery arrived quickly, was well packaged, and was a direct fit for my 2012 Nissan frontier. I ended up with an AGM battery for about what I would have paid for a regular flooded battery.Battery arrived with plenty of charge so all I had to do was install it, which was easy. I may not drive for a week and even in 5 degree weather I have plenty of power for startups.Also, this is a sealed, maintenance free type of battery, so somewhat safer and I don’t have to deal with battery acid crap. No core returns or fees either.Honestly this was a solid 5 stars for me. I’m completely satisfied with the functionality, fit, and performance.

I can't find other H7 sized AGM battery any cheaper than this, so I thoujght I'd give it a try. Just installed it and it works fine. Let's see how long it lasts. This is for an 2001 Audi A4 (B5 platform). This battery seems to be very slightly larger than other H7 batteries I've installed in this car (Diehard, Interstate, Champion, etc.). I had to play with it a lot to make it fit, and it was super tight.Not having to deal with a core return is another plus.The only gripe I have are the folding carry handles on this battery. They are too flimsy and could come off easily, so one has to be very careful handling this heavy battery, you don't want to drop it on your toes!

Purchased for 2020 Nissan Altima SL;Original battery lasted 4+ years, but I do not use the Stop/Start function. I don't think it would have lasted as long if I used the Stop/Start function.Amazon Auto Fit gave me a warning that this battery did not fit a 2020 Nissan Altima SL even though it is the correct OE Group Size 47 H5.Actually, this battery has 20 CCA more than the factory battery.Perfect fit in car.Battery was manufactured 1/15/2025 and was at 12.6 Volts when I received it... just over 1 month from manufacture date, which is VERY important.I went to a local auto parts store first and the same comparable battery was $259 and was 13 months old. Obviously, I did not buy since it was already over one year old. Batteries degrade significantly when sitting on a shelf.I probably could have put the 1AUTODEPOT BCI Group 47 from Amazon directly in the car straight out of the box, but I did top it off by charging it at an Absorbtion charge of 14.4 volts for a couple hours, then a couple hours at 14.2 volts, and then a float charge over night at 13.6 volts. Then rested the battery for a day and it leveled out at 13.0 volts.The fact that the battery leveled out at 13.0 volts verified that the battery is PERFECT. It should level out between 12.8 & 13.0 volts.Obviously, I cannot comment on longevity at this point in time, but I will update this post from time to time.Also, it should be known that this battery is manufactured by Guangdong Tongli Power Technology Co who manufactures many different named batteries who have been in business since 1999.I'm pretty confident that I made a good choice. Time will tell.
