Battery life span

[paos]

Mga sir tanong lang po, 3 months ko po kc hindi gagamitin yung car ko, ma dedrain po ba ang power ng battery ko? Ngapala last dec ko lang po nabili yung sasakyan, ang tinakbo nya 4k km. Na po. Salamat po.

[kimbon]

Just remove the negative (black color) terminal of the batt. Your batt would be fine.

Wag ka magworry sa baterya, sir. Mas magworry ka sa engine mo. 4 months without circulating oil is bad for the first start.

- please correct me mga s8r if i am wrong. Kung hindi kasi gunagamit vios ko at least i ensure to have it started every at least 3 days for 5 minutes

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

thank you sir!

Anong magandang battery para sa Mitsubishi Montero? Sign na ba palitan yun ayaw na umandar? 3 days kolang hindi inandar e ayaw na.

Same as mine. 3-4 days iniwan, hard starting na. Pinalitan namin amaron. Cheaper than motolite. 21 months warranty

Ganda reviews ng Amaron sir, made in India kaya very compatible sa tropical country natin. Extreme heat pa naman ang number 1 na kalaban ng batteries.

Sa vios ko 28 months bago ko pinalitan motolite gold un kasama sa bagong kotse. Medyo hard starting na and nung pinacheck ko below 12V na daw. Kaya pinapalitan ko na din baka ma hassle pa ako.

Yung sa akin, since September 2011 na motolite-oriental battery nagana pa. More than four years na bale. Eto yung stock nung brand new pa ang diesel Innova ko. Pero nung 45,000 PMS ko nung chineck sa kasa yung battery, may sign na daw ng paghina sa starting. Before the year ends papalitan ko na eto at mahirap matirikan, A/T pa naman ako.
Tip lang, pag nagpaPMS kayo sa casa ask niyo na icheck yung battery. May gamit silang device para sa pagcheck ng battery. Sa Toyota Midtronics gamit nila.
Off topic lang, may nakapagtry na ba sa inyo ng Bosch? Eto sana gusto kong ipalit at mas mataas ang ampere-hour nya ( 75 Ah ) kumpara sa motolite na same size na 2SM pero 68 Ah lang.

TS, usually 2 to 3 year or ever more if the alternator is effectively charging the batt . keep in mind to switch off the A/C, stereo, headlights etc.. every time the engine restart

My Motolite Gold 3SM is almost dead *5years 5mos... Kaya ma-start ang engine at first cold cranking, then second mahina na... 3rd, hindi na kaya. I tried adding water and charged it overnight, pero wala na talaga.

I just had it replaced with an Amaron Hi-Life 2SM...

Vehicle by the way is a Tamaraw FX (gasoline engine).

^^sulit na sulit boss 5 years.
Ako motolite mag 3 years na sa feb oks oa. Naiwan ko 12 hrs mahigit ung map light ko naka on pero one click start naman agad. Buti walang nasunog ang init ng map light.

number one killer nang battery is heat...
heat acts as a catalyst sa pag kasira ng battery...

there are two ways heat will decrease battery life.
1. it speeds up the corrosion of the positive grid of the battery (growth-creep)

2. it increases the sulfide plating on the negative side of the battery (corrosion-creep)

local brands who use recycled lead (Pb), have trouble separating Silver from the lead. most recently manufactured batteries use silver on the grid and post.
50 PPM... even after recycling and re-processing silver impurities will still be present and will result to uneven quality of lead plates.

the latest innovation in conventional lead-acid battery is the use of a special alloy (C-21), with addition of Ba ( BARIUM )... this combination slows the 2 processes mentioned above, increasing battery life dramatically....

ang nakaimbento at gumagawa nyan ay Furukawa battery of japan, which made a joint venture sa number 1 competitor ng amaron sa india, which is EXIDE batteries of U.S.

the incorporation of the technology of furukawa japan battery to the EXIDE line of batteries resulted into a product that is superior in every aspect,

just out of curiosity i bought one yesterday para masubok...

Car Battery Price | Four Wheeler Batteries in India | Passenger Car Battery
India's no 1 products under the EXIDE, SF, SONIC and Standard Furukawa Braa nds.

SF SONIC batteries

para meh options kayo when choosing batteries, apart from amaron which is also good to begin with.

sir miko101130,
musta na yung experience nyo sa SF SONIC batteries?

Yung mga Suzuki Ertiga coming from India are fitted with this kind...

ok naman medyo matagal ko na din gamit. ito pinalit ko when my amaron started to fail..

as per spec, its similar sa amaron. dalawa lang naman naglalabanan sa batteries eh, johnston controls at exide batteries.

its more cheaper also comapred to amaron.

the battery market is already competitive compared to what it was before na motolite lang meron dati.

ngayon you can choose amaron/sf sonic/korean(enercell) / thailand na panasonic at hitachi batteries etc...

Thanks sir for the update, kasi may mga dalawa nang naka Ertiga fitted with Sonic ang nagfail after 1 year and 3 months, reported sa FB.

while the vehicle itself seems brand new, as in brand-unused-zero-km-new, that might not be the case with the battery.
probably, the battery was installed several months earlier, just after the vehicle got out of the factory. then it sat there, un-stimulated, slowly declining..
this may be even truer in imported vehicles..

3SM ba naman tapos gasoline engine. Kaya talaga more than 2 years walang duda. Kaya nga 30 months sa diesel engine na mas demanding sa power.

Although 5 years is damn log indeed.

Battery on my Crosswind Motolite Enduro 2SM still good at 32months. but i replaced it, I have travel plans this

long Christmas break. Baka sa holidays pag nasira wala pang mabiling battery.

[CLAVEL3699]

ilang araw ba bago madrain yung battery paghindi nagamit yung Car... 3days lang drain na yung battery ko.

sign na yan, normally kaya kahit ilang weeks to a month - nasubukan ko.
