But yes checking electrolyte levels helps extend life but that is a hit or miss thing.
    "take a peek a day after the expiration date."

    battery manufacturers have made expiration dates a science. some of my batteries die within 2 to 4 weeks after the exp date.
    only once did one die before that date. and i got a spankin' brand new battery for it.

    Happened with our car before. The Motolite battery kicked the bucket before the warranty lapse and we were given a new battery. We were told the new battery didn't have warranty anymore though, but it lasted.

    twice i had claimed warranties for a busted battery(different cars). a month left with the first one and just a few days for the other.
    no questions asked, and yes that replacement batteries don't have warranty. kahit pa

    Battery just died. Electron ng Motolite parang ang aga namatay so i'm looking for a cheap and hindi ka iiwan na battery. So Amaron or Panasonic? Or may iba paba na bagong player?

    I've tried panasonic before, ok naman kaso we sold the car so hindi ko alam ano nangyari sa battery.

    bro yung de tubig mo ba na batt, every week or every month ang check mo ng water level? also, ilan KM travelled dun sa 3 years?

By this time tapos na warranty ng battery im sure. pwede mo na remove ung label sa top portion ng battery (any brand na no maintenance free kuno) visual na ung 6 refill caps once u open makikita mo na malaki kulang or baka wala ng tubig, add ka na lang. by adding distilled water or tap water sa neck level 6 months or more ang lifespan pa niya. Kung maingat ka after ng warranty add kana kagad masmaganda.
