    i must confess.
    i use automotive (gasoline) batteries for my diesels.
    they still manage to die a couple of weeks after warranty lapses.

    battery manufacturers do make heavy duty batteries for larger diesel engines.
    the larger engines need more starting amps kasi.
    but i believe that many of us use ordinary automotive batteries in our diesel auvs, mpvs and suvs, because the engines are not that large, naman.
    technology has probably blurred the border between the smaller diesel-engine batteries and gasoline-engine batteries.

    when the battery of my sedan is replaced, i opt for the next smaller size. by my experience, the battery life therein is not shortened, naman.

    add ko lang sa post ni bro yapoy,
    sabihin mo dapat under warranty pa, ganun kasi ginawa ko dun sa pinagbilihan ko. kaya sabi ni kuya nag test malakas pa battery.
