I'm keeping my eyes on that one: tell me, did it give any problems installing and commissioning?
What you think about this, he says that it's not a good idea to use this kind of batteries
My OEM battery lasted 6 years/89k mikes. Gave me a warning to replace. Scheduled replacement for $235 that happened in my garage.
Agree. The AGM battery in Model S lasts approximately 7 years. I had my battery changed yesterday after 7 years on my 2017 Model S! I am surprised that lot of folks say they had to change their 12V battery after 18 months! Tesla tech guy came to my home within 12 hours of making an appointment on the app, gave me a quote before he came and swapped the battery to a Gen 2 AGM battery. Total cost was $240. I was reading about all the different types of batteries available and DIY guys taking things apart and at the end of the day I could not pass the opportunity of a trained Tech that comes to my driveway and does it in less than 20 minutes for a great price! I am super happy I did that. Don't really want to risk some malfunction by trying something that is not recommended by Tesla.
The reporting on the OHMMU battery is rock solid. I was surprised that people are paying $450 plus or this crap and risking damage to the car. If OHMMU batteries were that good I am sure Tesla would have recommended it. I think its best to just get Tesla take care o it as they not only do a great job but very reasonable in price. Just for comparison I had to replace a 12V battery on my wife's Jeep Renegade and the quote from dealer was 300 plus for a H6 AGM battery. I found one at Walmart for around $200 and swapped it myself as there is no complicated electronics involved.
My S and X lead acids were lasting less than a year. Original factory install batteries lasted almost exactly 4 years to the month, both boiled dry. Replacements lasted a year each, again, all boiled dry, I've replaced a couple dozen for others, same thing, boiled dry (Tesla over charges the lead acids). Put an Ohmu in my Model S, I'm 1 1/2 years and 45,000 miles in on this battery and no issues. Will likely put a Ohmu in my Model X once that one gets flagged for replacement too.
I have the ohmmu and I cant recommend it enough. I wasnt getting 5 years like you were. I was getting like 12 months max 18 months out of it. Iv had the ohmmu now for 3.5 years so far and its rock solid.
