i shouldn't be doing anything? why? e, kung kitang kita naman na kulang na ng tubig...
if user wants to maintain it further after warranty wears of, so be it! who are we to dissuade him? it is not illegal to maintain a MT or LM battery, after warranty wears off.
it's not illegal to maintain it during the warranty period, either. yun lang nga, wala nang warranty.
who knows, adding water might just add several months more of useful life to it...

curious lang din ako kung gaano katagal ba ma-extend ang battery life ng mf battery by adding water manually...

then at what period mo siya start na i manual maintenance? from the moment na ikinabit? before the warranty ends o when it start to fail?

Didn't say it's illegal and yes whatever floats your boat. My point is it defeated the purpose of buying and installing "maintenace free" if you will still go through all the things that need to be done for a regular battery.

do not worry on my account, po.
maintaining a battery is not fatal.

It's maintenance free. What else do you need to maintain? [emoji39]

And buying a new one is not gonna break the bank.

the warranty is void if you tinker with the battery during the warranty period.
i recommend opening it up after the warranty period.
just take a peek. if it needs water, then add some.
who knows, you might just eke out several months more useful life from it.

2015 Nissan Sylphy 1.8, I just replaced my battery with Amaron. 50k mileage and car is less than 3 years. Normal lang ba ito? Thanks po.

that seems just about the ballpark average to me.
of course, how we abuse the battery, definitely affects battery life.
i have read car owners' reports ranging from 2 years to 5 years.

thanks po doc. the idea is all about trying to lengthen the battery life.
if we can extend the life for several months then its an added benefit
yun nga lang, kabado na anytime baka pumalya

My point is ganun pa rin, you still need to replace it soon. Why prolong the agony? It's not like you'll save money by doing that. Or to can prolong the battery life indefinitely.

And yun hassle na anytime pwede hinde mag start na kotse mo. 2-3 months na ma extend mo than replacing it with a new one. I dont thing it's worth it.
