Did the shop remove the vent plugs upon installation of your motolite? If it was left on, then the gas could accumulate til it cracked the case or burst.
Try AC Delco batteries, 2yr replacement warranty.

My motolite maintenance free tropicalized exploded too, yung color white. 2 months old lang, ayaw na magstart, tinatanggal ng mechanic yung battery terminals para icharge yung batt, tapos sumabot sa muka niya. Returned the batt to the dealer pero ayaw palitan kasalanan ko daw, lahat nalang ng items sa warranty card na nakakavoid ng warranty ginawa ko daw

swerte pa pala ako. 2.5 years na yung motolite ko.

ctpz,
how so? how did you void ALL of the reminders sa warranty card nila? grabe naman yun...palusot lang siguro yun..

In some models of vehicles (esp. those that place the battery behind the engine), heat can cause the casing to warp, weaken, or melt which could lead to premature battery failure.

una naground daw sa body kaya sumabog, but looking at the car wala naman possible na metal na didikit sa battery, so sabi niya sira daw alternator and naovercharge but nicheck naman and ok naman, tapos meron pang ibang dahilan na di ko matandaan. Pinalitan ko lang ng outlast and 1 year na walang problems. Nakakainis lang sa dealer di naman sha magwawarranty eh, motolite naman ang papalit eh ewan ko bkt ang kulit niya, dinala ko yung sira sirang batt sa kanya ayaw niya tingnan, impossible daw mangyari yun kung wala akong ginawang mali.
