    just replaced my motolite enduro na 3smf with AMARON batteries
    tried naman ibang brand.. ayoko na sa motolite mahal yet hindi maganda specs..

    we used DELKOR (made in korea) in our gen1 everest... 90ah rating with 640 CCA i think.. maganda at malakas na battery talaga.

    Right now bought AMARON batteries, made in india with 80 ah ,, 620CCA and 140 RESERVE CAPACITY...

    been doing research, and this battery was manufactured by JONSTON CONTROLS, the same company who makes AC delco / VARTA batteries and OPTIMA batteries! which is the best batteries in the world
    its the number 1 battery in india, wherein its warranty there is at 60 MONTHS!! or 5 years..
    its TWICE as heavy as motolite!! (better cell construction and lead purity)
    Uses silver in its plates for longer life and stronger current..
    its priced at 4,900 retail, with 21 months warranty here locally at the store which i bought it..
    I think its a good buy, price and performance wise..

    The locally made motolite and oultlast brands all uses RECYCLED LEAD, which is the main reason for shorter and uneven battery life and performance...

    How much is the 2SMF of an Amaron car battery? Is it readily available through our local car batteries dealer?

    saan naman nabibiki yung amaron batteries na 'yan? seems competitive naman ang price sa mga local batteries.

    I replaced the stock GS battery of my Strada with Amaron. It is indeed heavier. Got it at 6K from Kia Motors Baguio.

    I'm using a 1sn amaron battery on my honda city. About 2 months old so far so good. Got it for 3700 pesos after trade in of old battery.

    for its quality and performance mura na ang amaron, against motolite excel G na 3smf which cost around 6500...
    tapos mababa ang CCA/AH/ RC...

    next time nga, ittry ko ito, kaso mukhang bihira pa sa mga battery outlet shop yung may ganitong brand "AMARON". So far I heard good reviews on this. Kaya interested akong subukan sa susunod.

    sayang, recently bought a Motolite Gold 2sm for our van w/ 15 mo. warranty, worth 4300 (w/ trade-in already), so far Motolite got my trust and satisfaction for the last decade of patronizing this brand. It can last up to 2 years after the warranty has gone. yung GS at Outlast hindi tumatagal sa amin e.

    Just a query on car batteries, ano ba ginagwa nila sa trade-in na battery? inaayos, nililinis and binebenta ba nila ulit ito? I fear that baka ni rerecycle lang nila ang old batteries and sell it like brand new.

    From what I saw in Discovey Channel, old batteries are recycled by melting melting down the lead to liquid form, then its recast into lead bars before being shipped out for manufacturing. Not sure if this also applies in RP. According to the show 90 someting percent of lead is recylced.

    from what i know, the trade in batteries are recycled.. the battery is pulverized and melted the different parts are then segregated and recycled to make new plastic components, the LEAD part of the battery is then melted and recycled.

    Most types of batteries can be recycled. lead-acid automotive batteries (nearly 90% are recycled)

    During the recycling, the used lead is then mixed with new lead... it is during this critical phase that purity must be achieved...
    calcium in the battery strengthens the lead from mechanical stress but increase its mechanical instability...

    during the life of the battery, cycling from high to low loads, shortens the battery life... eventually particles of lead or the separators will fail and battery voltage and current will drop...

    The more pure the materials used, and stringent the manufacturing process the better...

    according to the website, AMARON batteries is under jonston controls ... JONSTON CONTROLS makes the best and most powerful batteries,, ONE of them is OPTIMAX and VARTA... so i guess this battery does adhere to ISO specification and stringent quality controls... if im not mistaken, there's no local battery (motolite/outlast/imarflex/ETC) that has passed and international testing and accreditation...

    ang hirap kasi nga baguhin ang nakasanayan kahit hindi maganda... sanay na tao sa motolite eh... tambak kasi advertisement (pang-matagalan)... pero if you look outside the box and beyond, madame quality and performing batteries out there better than those locally sold here...

    Mukhang ok nga yan miko ha, esp kung ma-extend mo yung life niya more than 21 months.

    Puwede din kais na yung quality ng for export at yung pan-local consumption is different.

    Pero ang bigat talaga ng battery is one good sign kung tatagal ito or hindi. Telecom batteries na 3Sm din vs regular car batt na 3Sm, ang layo ng timbang eh.

    possibility nga talaga yan.. it could be that iba products nila na pang international market... kase madame kalaban motolite sa international market, like AC DELCO, at VArta.. eh kung panget gawa mo di ka mabibili dun...

    sa specs pa lang kasi impressive na talaga yung amaron... motolite di nila advertise yugn specs battery nila... pag nagtanung ka sa store kadalasan di alam nang tindera ang CCA/AH/RC...

    imagine ang timbang ng amaron ay 22.5 KILOS! samantalang ang motolite enduro same size 3smf ay 18 kilos
    thats 4.5 kilo difference... nag hirap nga ilagay sa battery box sa engine bay....

    ang problem is wala pa masyado distribution.. sa mga province usually limited ang choices... that's the sad part...

    miko - would you happen to know the number of Jawe marketing? or meron pa bang ibang stores na nagbebenta ng Amaron Battery? i need a 1SN battery e hehe motolite excel (24months warranty) is priced at 4,200. a little too expensive for me.
