I sent VARTA an email with full details of the dud batteries and they still haven't acknowledged my contact. Shameful behaviour from such a prestigious company 😕

In maggio ho sostituto le batterie della mia meteo statio oregon le avevo acquistate la settimana prima e scadevano entrambe nel 2028 : 4 erano alkaline varta AA e 4 Panasonic alkaline (di cui una era stata appena messa in un orologio alessi e quindi ne rimanevano 3 panasonic) : ribadisco NUOVE acquistate la settimana prima al IPERTOSANO. Apro la stazione meteo e vedo che me ne sevono 4 per cui essendo tutte aa alkaline scad 2028 inserisco 3 panasonic e una VARTA. Oggi sorpresa : la stazione meteo segnala batteria scarica. la prendo in mano e vedo che c'è del "sale essiccato" su un lato : apro e vedo che la batteria varta ha perso il liquido. tolgo tutto e porto a pulire il vano batterie ed a controllare i contatti del mio apparecchi nel negozio di fiducia spiegando il problema e mi sento rispondere che la batteria nonostante la scadenza 20258 era difettosa . invio la mail a varta e UDITE UDITE la colpa è mia perchè ho mescolato batterie con stesso voltaggio e della stessa tipologia AA ALKALINE ma di marche diverse e questo non si fa ( non ho mescolato batterie al lithio con alkaline ma 2 marche di alkaline ) prima di sostiurli perchè esaurite avevo messo 2 duracell e 2 Energizer alkaline e non è accaduto nulla e non ho dovuto spendere altri soldi per ripolire i contatti. non comprate VARTA Se ci fosse la possibilità potrei anche ALLEGARE LE FOTO , le stesse che ho inviato a VARTA .....

I thought I had bought a "quality battery" from Varta, 18 months ago, for my BMW K75 motorcycle. I looked after it well, using a battery tender (top-up charger) when it was left standing for any length of time and I regularly checked and topped up the fluid levels in the cells. It recently failed and died on a recent long distance tour. It will be the last time I buy a Varta battery. Reading other reviews it appears I am not alone.

I installed a Varta batter AGM-LS and in 4 months it started to malfunction and car electronics were troubling me and finally I discovered it was the battery causing this! It doesn’t worth it.

At the tender age of 78 I am still tinkering with cars and enjoying it too. I have always used Varta batteries whenever I needed a replacement however, something has changed with this company in the last few years and as a result Varta is no longer King of Batteries for me and I would NOT recommend them to anybody. Just after I retired I purchased a used Mercedes Benz CL65 AMG coupe, I enjoyed it so much but circumstances changed and I sold the car with a proviso that if the new owner decided to sell then I would have first refusal. Two weeks ago I got the email I had been awaiting for a few years and immediately responded Yes. When I collected my old car the vendor said that he had some trouble starting the engine recently although the Varta battery which he had fitted 3 years ago had never given any trouble. He had fitted a replacement Varta H3 because the car had the same brand and model which I had fitted before selling the car.....brand loyalty indeed. I contacted Varta Batteries by email and asked for their advice on this 5 year warranty battery , they suggested going back to the battery supplier and the garage that fitted it. I told them that the battery was bought on-line from an apparently accredited battery specialist and the garage who fitted it had been a victim of the Pandemic. NEVER again will I recommend Varta batteries. They use this "5 year Warranty" as a sales tool but fail to stand by it.
