    Yes, I have tried their SF Sonic once. They said it was just as good as Amaron but cheaper. I was disappointed. Mine lasted only a few days after warranty expired. [emoji28]

    i am amazed at the batteries' timing of demise.
    they probably hire high-powered scientists, to accomplish this.
    heh heh.

    Batteries use chemical reaction to produce voltage. You can compute for the rate of decay of the materials inside the battery.

    Seriously! If I had come over a few days earlier I would have saved me over 5k. [emoji38]

    The first Amaron I bought lasted over 3 years. From the anecdotes here in Tsikot, that is actually a rather short life. Though that battery was discharged a number of times since the Granvia it was installed on had alternator trouble. All the other Amarons I bought after, at least among the cars that are still around, are still functioning well.

    But the Santa Fe the SF Sonic was installed on never had any electrical trouble!

    we have to take into account, the type of traffic the car does.
    highway is the battery's friend.
    city stop-and-go, especially night time, is the battery's fiend.

    my son got over 4 years from his battery. he drove highway.
    i got 13 months, or a month after warranty expired. i drive city, half being at night. i also used to turn off my engine at long stoplights.
    same car model, same battery. (champion, by motolite. it was cheap, back then.)
