I observed the same. When I sold my 36-month old 2009 GLS AT Montero last 2012, it's battery was still strong as ever. But a friend of mine told me that newer Monty's battery don't last as long as they used to.

Had to believe ang tatagal nang battery nung iba. Daily driven ba yan or weekend warriors lang kaya ganyan katagal?

Mine was daily drive, 36months na yung stock battery and no sign of weakening.

iyong sa monty naman namin halos 2 years lang ang lifespan nuong oem gs battery. baka dahil matagal naka-tengga sa lote ng mitsubishi iyong unit namin dati kaya mabilis ang drain

OK lang ba mga bro na religiously every year magpalit ng battery, pero low end version lang?

It does not matter when you change battery as long as it is reliable. Ang religious na ginagawa ko ay checking battery fluid level at least every 6 months.

AT kasi tranny ko bro, and i wouldnt want to have issues that could be avoided by replacing the battery every year. tutal mura lang naman ang kukunin ko na brand new battery kaya OK lang kahit di hi-end.
any other thoughts?

A/T din ako, and madali lang naman mag check ng battery water levels - low maintenance lang yung sa akin. May dala rin akong jumper cables para in case madiskargahan ako. Parang aksaya kasi dapat at least 2 years ang lifespan ng batteries kahit ang mga pinaka low-end. Or invest na lang on a higher model para di ka na mag worry.

If thats the case parang same lang gastos mo if ipapalit mo yung magandang brand kung ang life span eh 2 years max.

May signs naman if palitin na yung battery, hindi naman yan biglaan na lang ubos unless madiskarga dahil may naiwan ka na ilaw or accessories.
