    IMHO in the contrary, the more seldom you use the car the earlier your batt will go bye bye.
    If the car is always used especially in long distance travels chances are mas tatagal ang batt, avoid often short distance trip ex.10 min trips goin to school.

    I was thinking that kasi everyday mo ni start sasakyan mo, diba kada start mo it takes a toll in your car battery.

    There's no correlation between driving long distances and battery life. We can only hypothesize that the alternator has finished "recharging" the battery from long trips versus the short trips and this leads to longer battery life. This is because frequent starts coupled with short trips leave your battery.. well... short.

    And no, it's not using your car leads to premature failure but it's the fact that your battery needs to get a charge every now and then as your battery discharges itself naturally. I can have it hooked up to a battery charger and not use my car for 3 years and it'll still be okay.

    And before we veer off-topic, yes, your resident Tsikot car audio section spammer is Amaron powered. Not that I'm convincing people to get it but I do recommend it.

    ^^Thats my point in saying "long distance trips will make your batt last longer" since it is always in a full charged mode Ü

    is it always true sir? lets say in a day 50km takbo mo vs 20 km, ung 50km would typically last longer?

    it's a complex chemical reaction, but the bottom line is, the longer your battery stays discharged, the shorter its lifespan will be..

    so seldom used cars which travels short distances is the worst for battery life then?

    My car just turned 3 years old and I am amazed that the stock battery is still working. I am thinking of replacing it with Amaron when it dies or get the same battery from the casa (subok na). I used to drive my car less than 1 kilometer on weekdays for about a year or so. Some time during that period I felt the battery got weak, I even had the casa check for me. They said it was okay naman. Must have been psychological

    You can just replace it.. Cost of new battery will always be reasonable than losing peace of mind.
    Or bring it to the battery shop. They have a tester that checks impedance, determines if its still good or estimate how long it will gonna last.

    The starter is a current hog. Frequent cranking stresses the battery plus short distance trips does'nt give ample time to reach float charge.
    Add to that, battery life shortens when exposed to heat - the heat under the hood during short distance metro traffic is greater than long distance driving.

    Signs that a battery is weak is its cranking, pag mabagal mag crank than usual then time to replace it na.

    Reading through this thread, I am happy that Hyundai used Amaron for my i10! Nung pagbukas ko kasi ng hood, nakita ko tatak ng battery Amaron. Di ko kasi kilala yung brand, kaya akala ko di maganda nakalagay na battery sa sasakyan ko, kaya nag-research ako sa net. Buti nalang maganda reviews ng Amaron dito! Nakahinga ako ng maluwag. Hehe... Di ko lang alam anong variant ang nakalagay sa sasakyan ko.

    Napansin ko din yan sa i10 na nakadisplay sa festival mall. Sana sing tagal ng motolite gold amaron, pero due for replacement ako mga 3years pa sana. Heheheh

    i10 are produced in India so its natural for Hyundai to source their parts and accessories locally. I doubt Korean manufactured Hyundai use Amaron.

    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...
    Sir miko since na same lang ng manufacturer na Jonston Controls..... ung AC Delco on par with Amaron battery?

Amaron battery
