If I may go off topic, what's the best way to check the alternator?

A competent mechanic would check the voltage output ...

Any idea saan makakabili ng amaron battery for altis 2011? May nacheck ako na price 5k sa ibang autoshop. Baka lang may alam kayo na mas mura. Salamat

While sulit naman for the total length, it just doesn't live up to the initial hype of longer lifespan (they said nuon last battery for the life of the vehicle).

Marketing hype.

I'll just stick to good 'ol Motolite.

Ok lang ba na nasa 10.xx - 11.xx yun voltage drop, when starting?

That's what I thought when I read this statement below. With no battery acting as a "sink" or regulator, the alternator will be putting out probably more than 14V-16V which isn't good for the electronics of modern cars.

The first Amaron (a HiLife 3SM) we bought last 8-6-2016 has just passed the 21 month warranty period this month. Despite suffering two discharges from faulty alternator, still gives a satisfying one click start every morning. So far so good...

It just so happened that I'm so used with old models that what I know are somewhat outdated.

For example with this Isuzu I used before, you can actually start it within a battery. I think modern diesel engines won't run with a totally dead battery, much without it, since it needs power to open the solenoid valve for the fuel supply.

Just visit the amaron website merong list of branches where you can buy.

Di na ba pwede ipang start ang hiram na good battery tapos balik yung diskargado na battery while engine is running para kumarga na?

Old school hack namin dati yun sa mga jeep/barang na diskargado.

Need to update knowledge base na rin haha

The better way to do it is to jump start the car with jump starting cable. That way you won't swap batteries anymore
