    We are choosing amaron for selling... Ok ba?
    Most people swear by Motolite. But these same people are also aware that Motolite batteries often don't last beyond 2 years. Kung magbenta ka, Motolite ka na para babalik at babalik customers mo. Pag Amaron isang bilihan 5-7 years di mo na sila makikita. [emoji23] Though I would suggest you also sell Amaron on the side, as a premium alternative.

    My amaron lasted for 3 years 3 months. It didn't even give any indication it was about to die.

    That's my fear. My Amaron is 5 yrs 4 mos already but no sign of weakness.

    I don't know what is a trickle charger I think I got lucky with my Gen 10. That car NEVER had any sort of repair since I bought it in 2010 (except when I claimed warranty with the AC). It's more tibay than my AE101!

    i know what you mean.
    i bought my relative's altis on a whim.
    now, i am hee-ing and haw-ing, deciding on whether i should sell it or retain it.

    trickle charger. it's something vaguely similar to some post-ers' intelligent battery charger.

    I'd sell my Gen 11 before my Gen 10. I guess there are exceptionally well made units (for some reason) and we are lucky to get them hehe

    We replaced one of our 5+ year old Amaron batteries even though it was still in fair condition. The car's often driven long distances by a female family member na marunong lang mag drive (but somewhat clueless about car maintenance) kaya pinapalitan na namin. Kami rin kasi mahihirapan na tatawagan niya for help if her car won't start in the middle of nowhere...

    Kaya I don't consider "lady driven" a plus point when I see a used car for sale. More often than not, neglected yun na vehicle.

    naka 26 months na yung 2 amaron ko.. wala pa naman signs ng weak starting.. yung sa adventure (diesel) ko na naka garahe lang for 2 months ay i-start agad.. sa motolite dati medyo pag naka 24 months na at na stock ko ng mga 2 weeks medyo mahina na mag pa start eh..
