cb, keh jawe din... competitor ng amaron...

mahal na nang amaron pro, yung 3sm na reverese polarity. 6,300... nung binili ko akin before eh 5k lang ata yun( hi-life version). although tagal na nun ahaha.

yung exide na SF sonic ay 5k ang benta nya... i tried it, bumili ako kahapon... tagal masira nung amaron eh nakakainip kaya nilipat ko sa isang sasakyan na failing na yung nakakabit na battery.. para makasubok ng ibang battery.

mas mabigat Exide Sf sonic compared sa amaron pro.. probably by around 1-2kgs more...

nagka interest ako beside the fact na EXIDE gumagawa, eh dahil doon sa "new alloy post grid material" which is sa research ko eh C21 alloy with Barium...
eh furukawa japan batteries pala nag develop noon... so nasa fore front ng battery development ika nga.. ahahahaha...

sulit na sulit ako sa amaron, 36 months na eh, hopefully eh mas matagal ito masira. para meh benchmark ako.

^sige, sabihan mo din kami kung ok ba yang Exide na yan. mas maganda kung mas maraming options na cheaper and better quality.

mga L300 vans namin naka amaron na din lahat hehe so far ok naman in terms of price. benchmark kasi parati is motolite.

wag mo gagawin iyan. nagtry na ako niyan. kinalawang battery holder ko at mabilis kumulo mga ganyang battery. baka wala pang 2 years bulok na ung side ng kaha ng auto mo sa may baterya.

ended up buying MF free or any "known" at least higher end brands na low maintenance (de-tubig). buti na lang ung holder ng ek lang ang nabulok.

tsaka, madali na naman express hatid today, kaya no worries na, unless otherwise, magpoprobinsya ka.

i am impressed!
very few females even know what push-start means! more so, when one says it's easy (which it is, esp if the car is efi)..

that depends.
you may try a cheap battery, as long as it's not a cheap battery.

cheap = mura presyo, kumpara sa kumpentensiya. but it's still good quality.
cheap = inferior quality. designed to maximize profit, at whatever cost.

some brands do sell a cheaper battery. it's given a different name, so as to avoid paying royalties, and probably, scrimp a bit on the manufacturing, but not too much. but it's still good quality. mine ("champ..." by motolite} was warrantied for 1 year, but it's been over 2 years and still going strong.

Even the best quality battery will not reach full life expectancy if:
There is no hold down or the battery is subjected to impact,

The temperature of the location is always hot,

The charging system is either overcharging or undercharging,

There are too many or too much current draw of additional electrical load other than the factory power loads. Too much borloloy strains the charging system,

And many short stop/start cycles

current lead acid auto batteries deteriorate fastest, when they remain "discharged for long periods of time". nabasa ko (understood it, is different) that the sulphides that form during discharge, flake off and cause diminished ability to hold electrical charge.
the suggestion was, keep the battery fully charged at all times, especially when the vehicle will not be used for long periods of time.
