Battery life span

[umzzzzz]

tanong para sa mga nakakaalam: gaano katagal sa inyo ang isang 1sm na motolite gold na battery? more than 2 years lang ba ang life span talaga nito? ganito kasi ang nakakabit sa sasakyan ng nanay ko. binili namin yun noong january 13, 2004. tapos, bigla na lang syang hindi umandar ngayon ngayon lang. mga 2 weeks hindi pinatakbo ang sasakyan. ok lang ba ang nangyari na hindi na sya nagredondo man lang? isang malaking TIA para sa inyong lahat! mwah!

Yep.

[pajerokid]

depends on the condition of your electicals, lalo na alternator.

Was able to stretch my EG hatchback's first battery life to 4 years! Dun ako bumilib sa outlast brand.

Not sure lang kung okay pa rin outlast ngayon.

[kiper]

mahaba na nga ang 2 years eh..

kaya ung ibang manufacturers.. hanggang 1 year lang ang warranty.

para pag bumigay after a year.. wala na silang warranty expense..hehe

pero meron talagang batt na ginawa para sa long life span.. kaso mahal na un.

agree with PK. yung stock battery ko, simula nung nakuha ko sa casa nung late 2000, middle of last year lang ako nagpalit.

considering may minor sounds setup oto ko then.

brand was motolite maintenance free - 1SM. yung ibang mga kasama ko dito sa office, nagpalit na sila after 2 to 2.5 years. tapos walang ibang electrical modifications yung oto nila.

ahhhh ok...salamat gurus! akala ko kasi may sira na ang alternator ng sasakyan ni momi. pero tanong ko lang din...para saan ba yung maliit na peep hole sa maintenance free batteries? nakalagay kasi doon, something like acid level ek ek...naka indicate dun sa picture, kapag white daw yun, low ang acid level. kapag black, good daw. black naman yung nasisilip ko sa dead batt na yun. kung hindi maiindicate kung malapit na mamatay ang battery, bakit pa yun nilagay dun?

[nestordreamin']

ok na ang two years. Pag ok lahat ang electrical system mo during the lifespan ng battery, pwede pa ma-extend. pero ako pag two years na battery ko bumibili na ko replacement.

[H1Tman]

after jumpstarting, pa-check mo na lang sa motolite service center. ganyan yata talaga batteries, kapag tapos na warranty.

[arvic]

IF you reach beyond 2 years of your battery life, IMO sulit kna dito...
may mga tendencies kc ang maintenance free battery na mag explode or bigla nlng ayaw magstart... walang indicators kung masisra na o hindi pa..

unlike yung maintenance battery humihina muna bgo mamatay...

best way to check eh kung tumataba na yung mga walls ng battery mo, kung meron due to replacement na.


ako basta 2 years na pinapalitan ko na agad ayaw ko magtulak ng car para mag start.. bka mag ka dent pa o scratch... hehehe

IMO

[nestordreamin']

tama si arvic, dapat na palitan na ang batteries pag lampas ng two years baka kung kailan ka nagmamadali ay bigla na lang mamatay makina. Mas delikado pa

just like what everyone said previously..lifespan of batteries are usually 2 years. If it reached that, then it was worth buying. I am happy to note that my stock motolite maintanence free battery is still alive and kicking. 3 years na. Orig battery since it was bought. hehehhehe. motolite ako ulit.if ever it needs replacement soon.

[CVT]

Sa akin,- 18 months lang,- palit na ng bago. You'll never know what happens after that because batteries nowadays do not show any tell tale signs that they're going down, even with visual indicators on the unit. Just dies instantaneously.... Saves you the heartaches and more importantly,- abala.

Kung brand new vehicles,- normally 2 years, dahil (daw) mas makapal ang plates....

[XTO]

more than 2 yrs is not bad. i do add distilled water after the warranty. madali lang naman kahit maint free, sticker lang naman ang nakatakip in every hole. my orig motolite excel 2sm is more than 4 yrs at malakas pa. talagang sulit. (don't know kung me special arrangement sila ng casa)

same here ..
1st quarter of 2003 up to now lakas pa din ng battery ko daily usep pa ang ride, twice pa nahiram iyon (Diesel Engine)..sana tumagal pa ng tumagal..hehehe

securing your battery properly will contribute in prolonging the lifespan of your battery

paanong securing? as in preventing it to rock inside the hood? hmmm...yung brackets that came with the vehicle is enough na to make it secure db?


okay. the battery we bought for my mom's car lasted 2years and 2 months. so matatawag ko na itong sulit. siguro same brand pa rin ang bibilhin ko.

yung gamit ko naman sa ride ko ay motolite na maintenance free na color green. malakas pa sya although may lumulobo sa gilid. siguro malapit na rin ang due noon.

oo nga... we can never tell how long pa ang life span doon as maintenance free batteries except it's expected life span.

salamat sa mga nagreply.

in my case, i bought a 2sm motolite July of last year lang, pero nasira alternator ko and na-discharged battery ko, so i had it recharged nalang. ngayon medyo hard starting sa umaga. Considering its under one year pa lang, is it advisable to replace my battery with a new one? TIA.

[lakay]

Autolite lasted for about 5 years on wife's car and replace it with yellow top Optima. Mine is Red Top Optima gel and still good since Nov. 01.

[Luap]

mine is Optima gold 2sm bought Oct 01 never had a problem with it up to now.

pag pamalya or humina ang redondo ninyo in the morning pa check na ninyo agad.
