Dead Battery at 2.5 years

[Guest001]

My AGM in my 2011 Passat lasted 5 years and lasted being left in garage for 7 weeks in 2012 ( Started on return) and 9 weeks in 2014 (Gasped and gave up. I used a Ctek on it and it lasted 2 more years but gradually died as I only used it about twice a month.

Replaced it with a factory AGM ($416) and was still OK in March when I sold it. I never turned S/S off but learned how to keep motor running at lights with brakes on

Tig has got an EFB so I will put a few $ away as I dont expect it to last as well as an AGM

My factory installed AGM is still kicking on after 11 years.
AGM FTW

I have noticed on most cold mornings first start that my heated steering wheel switches itself on after i crank the engine. I guess a sign my battery is dying due to low voltage glitch? Car is 3 years old with a Varta AGM. 140k.
