    Pag maintenance free battery normally wala naman talaga maintenance during warranty. After the warranty, if you want to prolong life of your battery, you can add distilled water. There is a sticker that covers where you can put the water in.

    pwede ko pa ba itakbo yun sasakyan kahit deadbatt na?

    yun oto kasi dead batt na pero nung ni-series namen umandar naman. pero pag patay ng makina ayaw na ulet umandar, i was thinking na i-series ko tapos dalhin dun sa battery shop for replacement (aircon off, no radio). kaso kinakabahan ako baka bigla mamatay makina sa daan.

    toyota altis pala un oto.

    Pa deliver ka na lang sa Motolite/Amaron. May chance na mamatayan ka along the way.

    Pag umaandar ang engine, electricity is from the alternator, not from the battery. Pang-start lang ng engine ang battery.
    So the result is safe patakbuhin ang kotse, with a dead battery, going to the battery shop. Di mamamatay ang engine.

    Just had my battery changed...

    Looked at Amaron's website and saw that they have outlets much like Motolite though it's so few... They're not open 24 hrs...

    Have them a call and 90 min later my car is up and running again!!!

    Price?

    DIN65 PhP 7500

    Paid in cash less PhP 300

    Trade in old battery PhP 200

    Net price PhP 7000

    Ayoko na talaga sa Amaron. My 3smf installed on 9/4/2015 is again dead. Nag lobo na sides. To think this was a replacement unit. And weekly top up with Ctek battery charger.

    Panasonic naman.

    imo, 3yrs sulit na yan sir [emoji106]

    let me ask, why do you need a weekly top up of battery charger?

    damn.. I thought a ctek would extend the life, but warranty length means battery life in my opinion. anything longer is bonus

    Maybe there is something wrong with your vehicle's alternator or charging system ... did you ever remove/disconnect the battery while the engine was running? ...

    Reminder ... NEVER remove / disconnect battery from vehicle while the engine is running ... the car battery acts as a large capacitor to regulate the voltage ...

    So this guy last time, removed the terminal to check the condition of the alternator. According to that guy, if the engine dies then the alternator is busted.

    If I may go off topic, what's the best way to check the alternator?

    That test worked back when cars didn’t have too many electronics. If you pull out the terminal with the engine running, you’re letting your electronics to receive max volts which can end up frying them if they can’t handle it.

    Best test is to use a voltmeter. Voltage should read between 13.8 to 15.3 with the engine running and nothing else turned on.

    I'm also using CTEK battery charger, but not for Amaron. I'm using it for the factory issued battery. Perhaps I'll update this CTEK two years from now.

    How many months did the original and replacement batteries each last?

    The original Amaron was purchased 3/14/2014, then I claimed warranty August of 2015 (16 months). Replacement was given 9/4/2015, then busted today 5/8/2018 (32 months).

    While sulit naman for the total length, it just doesn't live up to the initial hype of longer lifespan (they said nuon last battery for the life of the vehicle).

    My stock battery on the Revo lasted 44 months, and we know low end lang mga stock batteries. With Amaron and the hype, I really expected 4 years. Alaga ko pa with distilled water after warranty, and regular charging.

    Mag tiyaga uli ako sa hindi mf, kasi ok lang naman mag regular maintenance. Half the price pa. Surely, 2 non-mf units will outlast 1 mf unit (no pun intended - Outlast brand has gone to the dogs).

    actually, i am not really sold on the amaron's superiority.
    just perusing these pages.. may good, may bad.

    the reason i buy MF, is to avoid the white, corrosive salt that sometimes develops above "regular" batteries.

    Yup, non-mf lasts longer than mf batteries. Manual topup na lang ng distilled water. Mas mura pa.

    Under motolite ba ang outlast? Or a totally different company?

    Besides motolite and panasonic, maganda rin ba ac delco or GS batteries??

    plano ko bro, buksan na yun sakin after 1 year (17 months warranty); baka kasi kung kailan patapos na warranty eh tsaka naman tuyong tuyo na yung tubig hehehe
