How are your EFB batteries holding up?

Featured Replies

I did a test on mine today with a Topdon battery tester. My car is a diesel vRS 2.5 years old and 75,000 miles.

The test result ( attached) doesn’t look promising .

Do i have symptoms? Kind of. Mostly the odd low voltage code but it seems to crank strong enough ( even on a frosty morning) and the start stop works flawlessly. I was hoovering the car out the other day with doors open for about 20 mins and the crank did seem a little low afterwards with a tyre pressure monitor fault briefly flashing up on the screen.

Should it be replaced? 2.5 years doesn’t seem long but my car probably has more extreme usage than most.

Anyone else changed your batteries prematurely?
