I just found out that Mercury Battery Industries Inc. is also owned by Philippine Batteries Incorporated the owner and manufacturer of the Motolite brand, they bought that company a very long time ago. Philippine Batteries Incorporated manufactures the Yokohama brand under license from Malaysia then it looks like their subsidiary company is the one in charge to manage & distribute the Yokohama brand in the Philippine market.

How about those tuflong batteries? They say it's from Japan (supposedly made use of Hitachi tech).

but tuflong doesn't sound japanese. ��

hitachi batteries officially changed name to tuflong in 2020.

there is a history of the monicker "tuflong", but i can not seem to remember it... tough and long lasting...?
heh heh.

My Panasonic DIN88 battery will be 2 yrs next month.
18 mos. lang binigay warranty nito, ang mahal pa naman at 10k.

Yung indicator sign is for service na daw.
Tinop upan ko nalang ng distilled water and charge with my battery maintainer charger.
Observe ko pa if I can still squeeze more from this battery, hopefully tatagal pa kahit 1 yr man lang goods na ako considering sa price.

Ganito ba talaga kamahal DIN88 and up batteries?

A quick check sa Lazada, 10k nga

Don't think about other brands anymore, just go with Amaron. It lasts minimum 5 yrs+ parati, I just had my 50k PMS and had casa check my Amaron battery which I bought in 2021, lakas pa din daw.

The 12-month warranty on the factory battery ended a few days ago. SOH is still good at over 90%, so I'm hoping this would last at least another 6-12 months... despite it being a Motolite.

Putting it on a battery maintainer every weekend seems to help a lot.

Added distilled water.

Health check after resting overnight and before adding distilled water.

Final health check after a top-up charge.
