Cheaper brands than Motolite but reliable as well

[Deestone]

How about Tuflong car battery? always saw the ads from Real Ryan's youtube.

Trying out Yokohama.

2SM with 24+3 months warranty was just P5,200.

Try ko din iyan next time. Ph made din pala iyan. Ayos.

Hindi ko alam na may Malaysian Motolite na available locally. May iilan lang siya na low end brands na recent ko lang nalaman.
Champion
Dyna Plus
Super Charge
Gawa siguro sa recycled materials.

"century."

I remember calling Tuflong Ph

Ang intindi ko, sila yung cheaper option ng sellers ng Amron.

[Miles_on]

Minsanan lang naman ang pagbili/replace ng battery (approx every 2-3 yrs for a standard battery).
I don't get why kailangan bumili pa ng mumurahin.
Bibili ka na nga lang, yung panget pa (eh di after 1.5 to 2 yrs problema mo na naman yung battery)

All my vehicles are running on Amarons with no issues. Lagpas 4 yrs minimum service life nila.

"it's cheap", never mind if the warranty shouts it.
to some folks, the cheaper right-now-expense is an important-enough deciding factor, in what battery to buy.

so who buys cheaper batteries?
1. skinflints like me;
2. bayan sellers;
3. "the impoverished." which, i suspect, comprises the majority of buyers. (apologies to the impoverished.)
heh heh.

i have a colleague,
replaces the battery every two years, regardless of its condition.
naranasan na niya ang dead battery syndrome, and she don't want to re-experience it again.

Goal din kung may matinong local alternative.
Bonus kung mas mura. To keep $$$ and employment in house.

Mukhang okay itong Local Yokohama battery based sa price and warranty.

Local sources.
Motolite, Yokohama (batt./tires), Innova 2.8.

Renovation sa bahay.
Mariwasa, HCG.

Na curious din ako kasi sabi ni Ryan Tuflong used to be Hitachi. Dont know if this is true kasi sya lang nagsasabi. And then when looking at Tuflong's socmed accounts, and one and only endorser lang nila is si Real Ryan, a socmed influencer.

Pass.

Not really worth in cheapening out on our car batteries when there are value-for-money and proven brands like Amaron.

Ngayon ko lang din nalaman Doc. Ni base lang sa 27months warranty ng top model.

Sa harap ng Fishermall sa Quezon Ave magkatabi malaking shop ng Motolite at Yokohama.

Hindi ko din alam itong Motolite bakit ang daming sub brands na license. Iba iba kaya talaga laman sa loob? Ayos naman para sa local industry, madaming trabaho.

Kuripot naman din ako, but sometimes, the cheapest option... can turn out to be the most expensive in the long run.

well,
if we are to consider what the warranty differences are...
the yokohama with its price and 27 months warranty sounds good.

some years ago, i got the cheapest, "champion", by motolite. it came with 12 month warranty.
one i put in my diesel innova, city driven, with my average trip lasting less than 7 km. i even turned off the engine during notoriously long red lights. that battery lasted 13 months.
the other, my other diesel innova got it and it was driven thru longer trips and highway miles even. that battery lasted over 4 years.
i suppose, if one's driving is made up of highway drives, one might gamble successfully on the cheaper battery.

wow, multiple innovas in a garage.
Yang longer trips mo doc, frequent ba yan or seldom lang?

i'm the city driver, po.
my son is the highway driver.
we used to have three innovae, but i sold the oldest one, as it's MT and i was getting on in years.

we also have sedan and hatch, which are lighter to drive, hence the sedan is my favorite now.
the sedan and hatch are stock. when i have to replace batteries, i get the smaller size than factory. i have been doing this battery down-sizing for decades now. so far, i see no difference.

Varta used as replacement battery in German cars ... but they cost double that of Motolite ... not sure now ...

[JapanABC]

Trying out Yokohama.

2SM with 24+3 months warranty was just P5,200.

The Yokohama brand of batteries is a Malaysian battery manufacturer named Yokohama Batteries Sdn. Bhd., then Mercury Battery Industries Inc. who also markets and sells the Dyna Power battery brand paid for the license fee to Yokohama Batteries Sdn. Bhd. for them to use the Yokohama brand of batteries, then they had the Yokohama brand to be manufactured by the local Philippine battery manufacturer named Philippine Batteries Incorporated who also manufactures and sells the Motolite brand of batteries.

Not that expensive na Varta. Same na sa Motolite at Amaron.
