Alwyn Alwyn Last Online: Apr 23rd, 2024 16:25 Join Date: Nov 2008 Location: Saffron Walden	OEM batteries vs branded Surprisingly OEM batteries in the UK are generally cheaper than top brands like Bosch. I replaced the battery on our 2011 XC70 in June 2020 and already am getting low battery message if power is left on for only a few minutes. Out of the blue our C30's battery died. Because the XC70 was in for body repair we asked our local garage to get a replacement. They usually order parts direct from a Volvo dealer but to save time got a Bosch delivered the same day. I only later discovered that it cost 46.4% more than an OEM. Is there any difference in performance/reliability between Bosch and OEM?
