    Hahaha. Pero weird kasi sa Motolite it dies just after warranty din pero sa Amaron haba ng lifespan

    Yung Amaron ko sa daily driver lasted 23 months only. 2 months after ng warranty.
    Then switched to Panasonic that lasted 35 months. Replaced with another Panasonic. [emoji4] at sana umabot ng 35months din

    That's less than half my usual. Glad yours lasted that long.... can't expect the same off any brand out there with our usage. Got a Panasonic on its 39th month & still kicking....for how much longer? Dunno. Can't complain.

    Is there a difference between gas or diesel engine in the life span of the battery? Because diesel requires more amps during startup and might cause the battery to deteriorate more compared to gas.

    Iirc mas demanding ang diesel cars kaya mas tumatagal talaga battery with gas fed engines. Diesel cars need more oomph to power the cranks as they are compression type.

    But this is more or less compensated by Diesel cars having bigger and usually more robust batteries.

    Guys I don't really fancy posting about work so let me start and end with this. Energizer has only been in the market for 2+ years. Too early to tell if it will perform better or worse than Amaron. And yes it was under the same company as Amaron's past technical partner, Johnson Controls (now Clarios). Varta and Optima were under JC in the past as well. Main differentiator would be the EFB and AGM batteries. Standard start/stop cars require EFBs. Those with regenerative braking and/or luxury makes usually require AGMs.

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

    They have to be, bugbog sa biyahe eh hehe. Kaya yung motolite kita mo yung mga diesel batteries nila na pang-harabas, truck master ang product code.

Price wise is the Energizer at par in pricing with Amaron on an equivalent spec’d battery?

    baka yun short trips mo bro, traffic tapos di masyado mainit yun byahe. long enough yun byahe to charge the battery, and cool enough not to degrade the battery.

    Pwede, 8am normally ang byahe then 5:30pm na uwi with 10-15min traffic per one way trip(5km one way for a roundtrip of 10km daily)

    Alam ko yung battery ng kotse has a specified size per car. It’s not based on the engine fuel.

    The biggest battery sizes I have used is a DIN74 and DIN66. I used it on the Fiesta Ecoboost which requires a DIN66 size. DIN74 has almost the same specs as the DIN66 but just a bit taller (few millimeters). These battery sizes are even bigger than what is required on the FXT and Sorento gas. The Jetta TDI uses a DIN60 or DIN55 which is about the size of 1SM/NS50.

    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.

    Which amaron is often being referred to in this thread? Hi life, go or pro. I'm being offered hi life for 4900 and go for 4000 net of 200 trade in. I'm now coming off Emtrac, after several Motolite golds. Emtrac lasted longer than my Motolites, but I don't know it's equivalent with Amaron.
