    Amaron also belongs to the same group of companies as AC Delco. But you said that you "Will never go back to ac delco" then it turns out your only choice is Motolite.

    I would give the Amaron Hi-Life (15 months warranty) a try. Amaron Pro is a bit pricey already.

What is best product sir? Amaron or ACdelco?
    AFAIK, different po sila, Amaron has it's own battery plant, Ac Delco just sub contracts their brand, better to try factory brand, :-)

    Lagpas na sa warranty ang Hi Life ng daily driver Vios namin and malakas pa rin ang redondo. Inoobserbahan ko nga kung may signs na humihina na sya pero so far so good.

    Sa battery life ay hit or miss din. Yung low maintenance GS battery ng isang car ko noon, after 5 years ayaw pa rin sumuko... ako na lang ang sumuko at pinalitan ko ng motolite gold pero hindi umabot ng 3 years.

    So you are saying Amaron is part of General Motors? Because AC Delco is owned by General Motors. AFAIK, Amaron is its own brand and fully owned by Indians based in India

    I had Motolite batteries on all my vehicles before. I noticed that their specs are getting weaker and their warranty getting shorter. Paano nila masasabing pang matagalan eh umiigsi nga warranty nila? I decided to switch to Amaron recently for 2 of my cars. Although most battery brands would claim to have longer life, the chances of them outliving their warranty is slim or occasional. I just assume they will die before their warranty expiration and claim my warranty if and when that time comes para di ko na iniisip kung maganda ba talaga o hindi. What is important is your dealership claim service kung mobiles nila mapapalitan or at least hindi ka hirap mag claim.

    they can make batteries last longer, po.
    but it will be more expensive.. the fear is that they might price themselves out of competition.

    what i do is, compute:
    price divided by months warranty , equals pesos/month warrantied. the lower the number, the better for the consumer.
    now, if you are a fleet owner, you can make a better computation.. price divided by months it lasted.

    it is only when we have larger numbers of examples, can we truly say which brand is statistically better.

    Got another one yesterday to replace the 3 year old Motolite Gold of our Grand Starex which has already shown signs of slowing down. Got ours from three tops in Pasig, cost me 5.4k without trade in 3SM reverse polarity.

    That's why this forum is very helpful for us to know the different experiences of our members vis a vis the claims of different brands!

    I bought an Amaron Pro 3smf for my 2013 Starex cvx. Perfect fit and the tech specs are much better than Motolite Gold. It has a 95ah with 720 CCA and an RC of 165 mins. It cost me 6k with trade in and with 24 months warranty.

    Usually for factory stock 2.0li CUV (which includes Tucson gas, CRV, Forester, Rav4, Sportage gas, etc..) 1SMF or 85D23L Amaron Hi-Life or Pro.

    my amaron battery is showing some signs that it needs to be replaced after 3 years. not bad considering my daily drive is the EDSA traffic monster. will get it replaced maybe next month.
