    As for me with my experience with Amaron Go, it never leaked and I never had the chance to test its limit because the 1st amaron I bought lasted for I think 21 months I thought it was my battery that needs replacement but turn out my alternator is not giving enough charge to my battery. Second amaron lasted for again 22 months my car was brought to the shop before lockdown and after 2 months of no starting the mechanic told me my amaron couldn't crank the engine anymore after switching off and turning it on again after giving it a full charge.

    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.
    All the batteries leaked from the top cover, like this. Napalitan naman ng warranty. But hassle lang that i needed to check the batteries every now and then. screenshot_20200629-092100.jpg

    Possible nga na mga 2014 batch yung nagka problem. Around that time yung mga napalitan namin.

    googling for an explanation... medyo nakaka-hilo.

    kung maraming white, green-blue, or pale dirty yellow stuff, i suppose that is abnormal.
    but it need not be the battery's fault all the time.
    it may be caused by charging issues. see google.

    it is not as common nowadays as it was in yesterdecades, if my experience is typical.
    it is probably because: today's charging systems are much better now; and battery manufacture and design are technologically better now.

    so what do i do, when i see these stuffs on my battery?
    1. clean them away, and observe further for recurrence.
    2. clean the battery terminals and clamps. tighten as necessary. the deposits do not conduct electricity well, and the chemical reactions that caused them used up some of the clamp's / terminal's metals, resulting in loose connection.
    3. have the car's charging system checked for over-charging or under-charging.
    4. check the battery for over-filling. check the battery for cracks and such.

    good luck.

    Is 4800 with a trade in reasonable for an NS60 Amaron hi life pro with 24 months warranty? Ang layo ng price with Motolite (24 months warranty) at almost 6500 while the thai Panasonic (21 months warranty) is at 3800 only.

    Where did you get the price quote? That is already cheap considering it is Pro. My N70 I was quoted around that price but Go only not Pro.

    i suppose, the electrical capacities are similar?

    Hmm, I just searched a nearby dealer in Facebook and this was the first one that popped up. The just have a generic "Amaron Battery-PH Araneta" name. I will verify if it is indeed the Pro model. They just told me it has a 24 month warranty so I assumed it is the Pro.

    Im just surprise with the price because NS60 and N70 battery size to my mind almost the same and yet yours cost less.
