    Practically everyday during the first 4-5 years. Ginagamit 1-2 kms per day, pampunta simbahan or hospital ng dad ko. So around 4x ginagamit per day pero very short trips.

    Also hooked the battery to an inverter to power the lights and some electric fans nung nagbrownout ng matagal sa amin nung 2014.

    I see, maganda lang talaga quality ni Amaron kung ganon.

    I doubt. On all 4 cars na naka amaron nag leak, and when replaced with a different brand, wala naman leak until now.

    Might be a bad batch, pero ang hassle kasi sa leaking battery, is rust ang kalaban mo

    does "leak" mean, the electrolyte bubbled out thru the cell covers above?
    or did the casing around the terminal crack and...?

    Mine sort of "wept" a bit of electrolyte around the caps and the charge indicator during the first year. It's not dripping or anything.... more like there's a thin film of the substance around the places I mentioned. Though definitely not enough to spill to the side or onto the vehicle.

    My guess was it was topped off a bit higher out of the factory.

    I just regularly washed them off and dried it with paper towels. It's been dry since the last time I cleaned it last year.

    The Amaron I bought in 2014 for the Vios leaked and ate the positive terminal. The Amaron I bought in 2017 for the Mazda is still clean. Might be a bad early batch.

    back in my day,
    the crack around the battery terminal was a very common occurence.
    the battery makers believed this was due to overzealous folks, who would very aggressively work the battery clamp's bolts or hit the terminal for whatever reason, resulting in cracking of the casing around the terminal.
    it may also be due to a very short battery cable and/or in-effective battery clamp, resulting to pulling of the cable on the terminal, whilst the car is running and vibrating, resulting to crack around the battery terminal.
    i would think that after decades of such, the manufacturers would already have found a remedy for this... weakness of design..
