Amaron battery

[paolorenzo]

Ayoko na talaga sa Amaron. My 3smf installed on 9/4/2015 is again dead. Nag lobo na sides. To think this was a replacement unit. And weekly top up with Ctek battery charger.

Panasonic naman.

imo, 3yrs sulit na yan sir [emoji106]

let me ask, why do you need a weekly top up of battery charger?

damn.. I thought a ctek would extend the life, but warranty length means battery life in my opinion. anything longer is bonus

agree with you sir

Reminder ... NEVER remove / disconnect battery from vehicle while the engine is running ... the car battery acts as a large capacitor to regulate the voltage ...

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.

So this guy last time, removed the terminal to check the condition of the alternator. According to that guy, if the engine dies then the alternator is busted.

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

It just so happened that I'm so used with old models that what I know are somewhat outdated.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

15V is still ok ... without battery, voltage can spike up to 100V in some cases ...

Maybe there is something wrong with your vehicle's alternator or charging system ... did you ever remove/disconnect the battery while the engine was running? ...

That test worked back when cars didn’t have too many electronics. If you pull out the terminal with the engine running, you’re letting your electronics to receive max volts which can end up frying them if they can’t handle it.

Best test is to use a voltmeter. Voltage should read between 13.8 to 15.3 with the engine running and nothing else turned on.

A competent mechanic would check the voltage output ...

How many months did the original and replacement batteries each last?

plano ko bro, buksan na yun sakin after 1 year (17 months warranty); baka kasi kung kailan patapos na warranty eh tsaka naman tuyong tuyo na yung tubig hehehe

The original Amaron was purchased 3/14/2014, then I claimed warranty August of 2015 (16 months). Replacement was given 9/4/2015, then busted today 5/8/2018 (32 months).

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).

My stock battery on the Revo lasted 44 months, and we know low end lang mga stock batteries. With Amaron and the hype, I really expected 4 years. Alaga ko pa with distilled water after warranty, and regular charging.

Mag tiyaga uli ako sa hindi mf, kasi ok lang naman mag regular maintenance. Half the price pa. Surely, 2 non-mf units will outlast 1 mf unit (no pun intended - Outlast brand has gone to the dogs).

actually, i am not really sold on the amaron's superiority.
just perusing these pages.. may good, may bad.

the reason i buy MF, is to avoid the white, corrosive salt that sometimes develops above "regular" batteries.

Yup, non-mf lasts longer than mf batteries. Manual topup na lang ng distilled water. Mas mura pa.

Under motolite ba ang outlast? Or a totally different company?

Besides motolite and panasonic, maganda rin ba ac delco or GS batteries??

Marketing hype.

I'll just stick to good 'ol Motolite.

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

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...
