    sometimes, it is not so much the build quality of the battery, as it is the manner by which we abuse the battery thru our "driving habits".

    i have this formula.
    months warranty divided by cost = months of service per peso of cost. the bigger the figure, the more advantageous to the customer. the assumption being, anything beyond the warranty period is a bonus.
    if one wants to input that beyond-warranty performance, one has to make his own experimentation.
    but there is a caveat. when doing the experiment, one may tend to unconsciously change his "battery habits", rendering the experiment, tainted.
    ah well...

    Sir, the GS that you were pertaining, is it the GS Yuasa battery?

    That GS Yuasa is the battery that came with our SG when we bought. The van is already 2 yrs and 7 months old and it seems that the battery is holding up pretty well although the last reading of the dealership, it was already below normal.

    Yes bro. That's the one. GS Yuasa maintenance free. I regularly get 30+ months of service from GS in my daily driver. Best of all it is cheap too.

    On my experience with the company's Innova and Avanza cars (diesel and gas respectively), the stock GS battery did good as well. Sulit indeed imho.

    Such as parked with the radio on often? Multiple start-stops (engine off) and short drives?

    The GS on my Altis lasted a little less than 2 years. The one on my pick-up now i will change before the rainy season.

    Do you also do a lot of night time driving vinj?

    Aside from storage baka matagal sa storage bago nabenta. I think that is also what happened with my last Motolite.

    Yung rounded corners lang ng plates ng Motolite ang di ko makalimutan. They opened it up and compared it to other brands and the Motolite was the only one with rounded corners on the plates.
