hahaha! I am impressed, you remembered pa that it's hi life! My second Amaron turned 5 yrs old na! I am not sure if I should wait for it to die rin but then my 11th gen is an automatic so I can't make tulak if it dies when I am out.

How can you break your record kung papalitan mo agad!

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.

Ito equivalent ng Motolite to Amaron models:

Excel - Hi life Pro
Gold - Hi life
Enduro - Go

Usually yung middle models ang mabenta. Motolite Gold/Amaron Hilife.

How about if you buy the spare and store it in the trunk so you can replace the battery immediately once it dies? is it practical? or nah?

a battery "ready to go" deteriorates with time, even if it is not used.

if one wants a replacement battery on hand for justin (just in case), one can have a battery, but with the electrolyte not yet poured in. this allows the battery to sit there for many years, with minimal deterioration. you pour the electrolyte into the battery when you need it.

Another problem would be that it shortens the warranty, it's already running the moment you bought it

Umabot sakin 44 months (hindi pa ubos pero nagpalit nako)

Twice a week ko lang ginagamit (before covid) pang mall and church lang. Then nag covid, mga twice a month na lang pang grocery. Not bad!

Pero ako na ang sumuko wala na ako peace of mine. Hindi ako sanay kasi before lagi ako motolite na laging sakto tapos na warranty na uubos.

Nag palit nako kanina amaron ulit

Yes the bigger the better you can get 3smf pro if your budget permits.

If the stock battery is 2SM, you'll be fine with a replacement 2SM. Practical advantage lang ng 3SM is the bigger reserve capacity and cranking Amps. Depending on actual use, the additional capacity may offer some insurance in starting the engine even if an accessory was left on overnight, for example, or if you run into an engine issue that requires you to crank it longer than usual.

It's up to you if you feel that the extra capacity is worth its weight (literally) in Pesos.

FWIW, I have a 3SM Amaron in my 2.5 Innova G.

issue with installing larger battery: kakasya ba? will the battery footprint be accomodated? will there be enough room above, so's the metal hood won't touch the terminals?

will a larger battery result to longer battery life in that vehicle? i do not know.
the larger CCA might result in chronic under-charging, which predisposes to faster battery deterioration.
i do not know.

in my non-diesel sedan with only a stock radio as electrical toy,
i install the next smaller size battery.
over the years, i did not perceive a shorter lifespan.

Stock sound system, definitely no need for a bigger battery. Will just be a waste of money especially if a few thousand pesos difference.
May chance pa na hindi aabot mga cable sa terminals ng bigger battery.

I would just stick with using the same battery size

Unless there is no stock of the correct battery and there is no choice

From what I understand naka 3SM na ata si babkalakal ngayon, so it will definitely fit, and the alternator is definitely capable of charging a 3SM battery.

His question is if it's worth it to continue using a 3SM or go back down to stock size of 2SM.


If the car is frequently used, there are no accessories with big power draw, and accessories aren't operated on battery for extended periods I vote to save the money and size back down.

he can answer his own question.
all he has to do is to see if that larger battery did last longer than the regular-size battery.
