    May nakita akong Car Battery na SF Sonic. Tanong lang kung 75 AH or 95 AH Car battery ang kukunin ko for Montero and for Grandia? Thank you!

    i would consult the owner's manual and see what it recommends.

    Higher AH would be preferred, especially for high displacement diesels. Your alternator will thank you for it!

    Ahh ayun 70 AH lang pala ang Enduro 3SM, so 75 AH SF Sonic would suffice. Mas mura kasi ang 75 AH Sonic sa 95 AH Sonic ng mga 1,000 pesos

    According to tirecenter.com.ph/motolite.htm Enduro 3SMF is 70AH. 75AH for Gold, and 80AH for Excel.

    I swear by Amaron Hi Life 115D31L (3SM) though. 90AH. Very satisfactory performance in our turbo diesels.

    Sabi daw kapag higher ang AH, it will take the alternator longer to charge your battery?

    Ah laki din pala price difference. IIRC, I have SF Sonic 105D31L on my Santa Fe. Came from the same shop that sold me Amarons. So far so good 18 months down the line.

    In layman's terms, ano ang pinagkaiba ng RC sa AH when it comes to importance to the vehicle?

    IIRC, reserve capacity is number of minutes the battery can last without alternator charging before conking out, and ampere hour is the total energy output the battery is capable of discharging. Electrical guys please correct me if I'm wrong. Capacity: 75 AH or 95 AH Car Battery for Montero/Grandia?

    In my experience, 3SM with higher AH rating tend to enable faster, more "confident" cranks on our diesels. Like the Motolite Gold vs Amaron Hi Life on a 3.0L engine.
