    My car's battery is more than 3 yrs old now (stock). I am thinking of replacing it and I cannot decide between Amaron or Panasonic.

    1SN for Amaron is P3.5k and Panasonic is P3.2k but with shorter warranty. My stock battery is Thailand and I am very impressed that it lasted so long! The dealer said Panasonic is also Thailand so I am thinking if Panasonic is better though it is cheaper?

    Have it checked at a battery store first, it might still last awhile. My motolite battery lasted 5 years 4 mos. Before it conked out.

    We've tried and used almost every battery brand available in the market for our trucks. GS, Rocket, KOBA, AC Delco, Quantum, Tropical, etc.

    In the long run, we decided to go back to Motolite. Warranty wise, we had no problems with Motolite. Plus, its local, so product tech support thru numerous battery dealers is abundant.

    Ang goal ko maka sampung amaron. Currently on number 7 i think. Hehe. From the first unit to the last one i got, all are working as intended and some are now deployed in demanding conditions.

    Amaron is made in India, isn't it? Is it really of good quality? I read on another thread that Subaru uses Panasonic as its stock battery so I figured it must be good as well.

    Subaru's are imported here as CBU's. Hence they come with "imported" batteries as well. If you take a peek under the hood of the locally assembled (CKD) car's. Chances are its a Motolite.

    Go with Amaron. I tried both brands and already returned 1 Panasonic 3SM after using it for 11 months but it is under 15 month warranty so im still waiting for their diagnostic test.

    Now that we have COVID-19 and my Panasonic Battery died just 9months. The aftersales of Panasonic PH sucks. They told me that they do not carry Panasonic Batteries and I should contact the store where I bought it. The thing is that the store is closed until further notice and now, I cannot get any help from anyone. Panasonic aftersales service is not good. PH support does not even know how to contact JP. I am now in the mercy of this COVID thing to end and hopefully the store where I purchase it will be operational.

    If you're after peace of mind and longer warranty, go for the Amaron 1SN (P3.5k). But if you're okay with a shorter warranty and want to save a bit, Panasonic (P3.2k) is a solid choice, especially since both are from Thailand. Either way, both brands are reliable!

    Ang mura pala ng bili ng dealers ng amaron sa old batt. P150 lang. Sa Motolite P300.
