    Exactly. But they won't because it will eat into their profits.

    It's almost like a tongue-in-cheek joke with a wink. I can't see them saying that with a straight face.
    The term is relative so I don't see any false advertising. Their claim is that their warranty period is "pangmatagalan". This is true. So true that it dies a few days after the warranty. No false claims. Just truth in advertising (sarcasm).

    Similar to planned obsolescence. I wish more people would learn about better battery brands.

    Thank you for clarifying that as sarcasm. lol

    Yeah, if you put it that way, I guess the slogan flies.

    But seriously, anyone who thinks that warranty=lifespan is just after your money.

    That's why Motolite is booming.... their batteries die sooner rather than later, they have the most dealers and retailers, the best marketing, and have the widest presence in the country. Where do you think all that marketing and supply chain money is coming from?

    Yeah, RAMCAR is a conglomerate. But forgive me if I don't see the connection to their car battery lifespan being piss-poor.

    Maybe they're using surplus KFC gravy in their battery manufacturing process somehow? God forbid if it's the other way around. lol

    Better backread. Someone asked how the company is still viable.

    Anyway I think Motolite is like Toyota. Its the name factor.
