I’m in the market for a new battery and I’ve been hearing a lot about the Exide Sprinter Max battery. I’ve seen some positive reviews, but I’ve also stumbled upon a few concerning experiences, particularly regarding reliability and performance.

Key Points I’m Interested In:

  • Performance: How does the Exide Sprinter Max hold up under regular driving conditions? Does it provide a strong start in colder weather?
  • Longevity: Any insights on how long you’ve had yours before it started showing issues? I’m particularly concerned about premature failures.
  • Warranty Issues: Has anyone claimed warranty on this battery? How smooth was the process?
  • Alternatives: If you’ve used another brand, how does it compare? Should I be looking at other options?

Why I’m Asking:

I drive a 2016 Honda Accord, and I want a battery that I can rely on without constant worries. My previous battery failed unexpectedly, which has left me a bit hesitant to make a purchase without more information.

Your Experiences:

If you own an Exide Sprinter Max or have any valuable advice, I’d love to hear about your experiences. Are there specific pros and cons that you think a potential buyer should consider?

Thanks in advance for your help! I appreciate it.

My friend had a bad experience with one, it gave out after just a year. I think the heat from our summers played a big role.

I’ve installed heat shields around my battery, and it has made a noticeable difference in performance during summer. Definitely worth considering!

I usually get around 3-4 years from mine with normal use. What’s the warranty like on these?

11

Most places offer a 24-month warranty. It’s good for peace of mind, but it doesn’t replace proper maintenance.

I’ve found that driving style impacts battery health. If you frequently make short trips, that can drain the battery faster.

13

That’s very true! I try to combine trips to keep it charged. Anyone else doing that?

Short trips really do take their toll, don’t they? It’s like my battery is on a perpetual diet!
