it would appear,
peoples' choice of batteries is not of the same basis.
while some folks prefer brand green because it has a reputation of longevity,
or brand X because of initial financial advantages,
or brand Y because "they do not know any better",
others buy the big M because of ease of acquisition.

It's because that "M" battery always picks the most inopportune time and place to fail. The M people knows that and they're cashing in on both their batteries' relatively poor service life, at the same time, cashing in on customers for "premium" delivery service.
Their business model: You pay for a product that will put you in a jam and then you pay more money to get you out of it.![]()
they certainly have thought things thru.
they provide a service to fill the needs that they helped to create.
yung isa naman,
" pang-matagalan ito, but when it fails, 'you're on your own' ".
heh heh.
actually,
the M is quite predictable.
expect it to fail within 2 months after warranty lapse.
it is good practice to replace it once warranty lapses.
like my colleague.
she never had battery problems again, since she started the practice.
some pilipino car owners kasi,
they want to squeeze the very last electron from their batteries, before replacing it.

No issues in acquiring either Motolite or Amaron or Energizer on my end. The Amaron dealer is just outside the gates in my subdivision. I know personally two people where I can buy Energizer.
I gave up with Motolite long before. I am just disappointed that their batteries last within the prescribed warranty period. Like not much added value as you pay for 18-21 months so you get 18-21 months. For the same price, you get an Amaron that lasts much more than the warranty period.

Yup I'm from Taguig and there's a new Amaron store on C5 just a few blocks away from the house.
But the batt died in Makati so I searched around the Makati area because I guessed there's a better chance that one of them delivers. Got lucky
They gave me the rider's personal mobile number for tracking but I guess it's best if you call their landline.
amaron user here, 1snf hi-life, bought at four L's sa may qave. 1yr+ na sakin ung batt (May 2019 binili).
ask ko lang nakaka apekto ba ang cold weather sa starting ng oto? lalo pa recently nag uulan.
napansin ko kasi parang 3days na this week, pag start ko sa umaga bago umalis ng bahay and sa hapon bago umalis ng office, medyo may slight hesitation pero tumutuloy naman.
pagka start nasa 14.2 to .3 ang voltage. then pag normal operating temp ang voltage na is 13.8 to .7. inoobserbahan ko pa din.
strictly speaking, yes.
many chemical reactions (what the battery does to generate electricity) are slowed down with cold temperatures.
but, in my opinion, this is probably truer in temperate or frigid zones, and not as much in the tropics.
my guess is, your battery is probably showing signs of age...
my car starts the same way, whether summer or xmas time...
