Car Battery - Other Brands

[Egan101]

so, does anyone know for a fact, whether amaron does out-last motolite or not?

In my experience with Motolite, their battery models always conk out at its listed warranty life. We even have an experience where the battery conked out months before its warranty life but Motolite did honor the warranty.

I used an Amaron Pro (24 months warranty) on my Fiesta and it lasted 32 months before it was replaced.

agreed. yung mga naging motolite namin exacto lang sa warranty bago mamatay. naka try na ako ng bosch silver I must say it wasn't any better than the motolite baka nga bit shorter life pa nga than motolite. amaron I have yet to find out meron ako installed on a diesel fortuner now on its second year na.

1 Amaron lasted 23 months just 2 months past warranty.
1 motolite lasted 23 months too and another motolite just died at 20 months.
Current batt is motolite replacement for the one that died at 20 months.
All 3 had 21 months warranty and all in the same car (GS).

Another car, tucson crdi.
Motolite lasted 29-30 months.
Amaron lasted 36-38 weeks i think.
21 months warranty for both.
Current batt is Panasonic na black which is made in thailand iirc.

So sa small sample size:
50% good ang Amaron and 33% good ang motolite.
Most expensive ang motolite but low quality imho.
Mahal na rin ang amaron and had 1 batt that performed like motolite.
So I opted for panasonic which i heard good things from my friends. Mas mura pa ang panasonic compared to amaron and motolite hut it has a reputable name to it

keys in should be in ON position (engine off or on doesnt matter).
then charge, youll notice that it would charge a bit longer than usual before it reads 0 (zero) on amp display.
not sure if there is a workaround with keyless fob configuration.

Im on Panasonic (thailand) battery right now. Wala pang 12mos mahina na cranking power Since it takes usually two cranks to start. Will have the battery checked tomorrow. Is it my alternator kaya?

Makes me think twice getting this brand ulit. Might as well spend a bit more for another known brand.

hard to tell but if you are in a relatively newer or modern car most likely it might be just the battery. From experience alternators have a reasonably long service life requiring not much attention if non at all.

Just replaced my panasonic battery today. Warranty just lapsed. Purchased it 12/17/2017. So I was 11 days late haha. I forgot or didnt know that the warranty was only a year.

Anyway, i changed to a panasonic again but this time it has 21 months warranty. This one was color red. Code is 42b19l. Old battery was 34b19l. The one that I purchased today according to the owner also has calcium and silver alloy inside and thicker plates just like the Amaron Hilife.

Right now they have a promotional discount for the panasonic battery. 4500 srp less 1000 promo discount so 3500. Not bad na din.

**If car pala used as grabcar, considered commercial vehicle na. So even if you purchased a 21 months warranty battery, magiging 6 months na lang because of that.**

Yeah. Probably mileage. Or siguro pag unusually premature ung pag fail ng battery.

[ninjababez]

speaking of mileage, si cathy kasi mag 5 years ba or 6 yun amaron nya. ilan mileage kaya nun gamit nya. yun 3k ko kasi 20k km more or less nagkaoon na ng hardstarting.
yun amaron ko bili ko ng 204k km now at 225k km wala parin signs na bibigay. nga lang nag smart charger ako since nasa 210k km.(more or less).

Depends din siguro sa batch of battery. Sabagay ung isang car namin na naka-amaron, almost 3years na (knock on wood). I remember replacing that car's alternator dati. And that car gets rarely used. As in one day a week lang.

Ang usual na nagiging concern ko sa amaron is the bloating of the battery.

[ninjababez]

may naka try na ba nito?
ano advantage ng calcium?

I tried Motolite, Panasonic and Amaron and so far I have no problem with Amaron. How about Bosch? Any feedback?

Been using Bosch 42B20L (NS40) for 28 months in my Honda AT car and still 1-click and no problem with starting.

Recharging it with CTEK MX 5.0 once a month for reconditioning.

Im currently using 2SM battery for my Innova diesel and the battery supplier told me to change it to 3SM instead since my car is already 10yrs old. Btw im using amaron battery is it necessary to upgrade car battery from 2SM to 3SM for my vehicle?
