    Has anyone tried Readygo car batteries? Fully electric and can be monitored by app.

    Batteries | ReadyGo Batteries | Pasig

    I'm not from the company but considering this to replace battery for Everest (which is around 8500 anyway). Has anyone tried this brand?

    Thanks

    it's a lithium battery, according to the link.
    i don't know anything about it.

    looks good. from the website, they use LiFeP04 lithium iron phosphate which basically in the same league of Lithium ion / lithium polymer batteries. i believe LiFeP04 batteries are used in e-scooters.. each cell is around 3.2 volts..

    that battery pack will surely utilize a micro controller to balance charge each cell, maintain an output of 12V controlling each cell voltage not to get too low and be able to receive the charging voltage of the alternator. for the price, its worth giving a try... there are some lithium ion based car battery (anti-gravity) with a price ranging from 500 USD to 1000 USD..

    parang may nabasa ako na dapat yun kotse mo must be designed to accept lithium batteries from the onset. pero mukhang na-iadapt nito for ordinary vehicles to benefit from lithium battery technology. well if the price is right pwede subukan.

    Meron Palang brand na mega force batteries.

    Dumaan iyong pinsan ko kagabi sa Bahay and iyong bago niyang nabili na pre-owned Hyundai car iyon Ang battery.

    ...what is that battery brand that motolite manufactures in malaysia?
    i purchased one here in the phils, because it was significantly cheaper than the local equivalent.

    ah so under pala sa motolite umbrella ang mega force. i suppose they're cheaper than those sold under the motolite brand. mukhang long life din pala as the previous poster mentioned

    iyong outlast battery corp buhay pa ba? iyan dati ang preference ko kasi gusto ko iyong light blue w/ red highlights color scheme ng casings nila. but then i changed to motolite kasi nagkaroon ako ng bad experience w/ them. tapos eventually naging suki ng amaron

    currently using a megaforce and amaron. both started out 620cca (what a coincidence!)

    megaforce now 1yo, cca is down to 555

    amaron almost 1yo, cca still at 615

    so megaforce is the same motolite cr*p just w/ cheaper manufacturing costs abroad

    battery life expectancy or service life is subjective. factors affecting the life of your cars' battery are:
    1. vibrations and shocks. if the battery hold down is not there or not doing its job. the battey plates shake off the lead compounds and settle at the bottom of the case up to the time it causes short circuits betweenthe plates( wet cell lead acid type except gel types)
    2. start/shut down cycle duratio
    3. ambient temperatures
    4. amount of parasitic load(electunilc tuned radio, anti theft systems. computer memory, electronic clock, computer keep alive memory (KAM)
    5. charging rate of the system
    6. size of battery in CCA, CA, AH rating
    7. age of battery at the time of purchase
    8. alternator belt condition(except hybrids and electric cars)
    9. condition and resistance of the battery terminals
    10,condition of the alternator brushes(designed for 5 years or 100k km).
    11. quality or purity of the electrolyte
    12. quality of materials used in manufacturilng.

    so, it is very subjective to say the least how long your battery is going to serve you

    Unlike starter lead-acid batteries which are inherently designed for max current delivery, there's a lot more failure points in an LFP pack... the quality and performance of the LFP cells themselves, the quality of the BMS, the quality of the internal wiring/bus connections, etc. Anything wrong in any of those areas could mean a drastically shorter lifespan or even cause a safety concern.

    Though highly unscientific, I am toying with a few LFP 12V packs in UPSs that were designed to use lead-acid 12V 9Ah batteries. They will undoubtedly not be fully charged owing to the fact that the charging algorithm is different. But 2 out of 3 have the UPS energized 24x7 (charger is active) while the 3rd one is turned on about 3-4 times a week. I'm curious what the lifespan would be for each.

    Yup buhay pa naman Outlast. Sa exprience ko naman halos same lang sila ng Motolite. Happy current Amaron user here as well.

    budget version ng outlast is powelast DAW as per batt dealership i spoke with (amaron suki)


    btw unsure if i should replace mine, 356cca nalang daw (2sm) and install date is 2021 DAW
    di naman palagi hard starting, so iniisip ko palitan by end of year
    OR avoid the risk of tirik and get amaron 2sm at 4.6k (discounted na battery trade in)

    Same tayo. 356cca na lang din yung 3SM battery na nakalagay sa vios gen1 ko. Hehehe.

    Sa innova yun talaga..mahina na cranking for diesel pero mukhang malakas naman for gas kaya pinapalit ko muna. Once a week lang naman ginagamit yung kotse eh. Hehe

    5yo din44 stock battery on the ecosport. 220cca nalang but still started w/o hesitation. at that point pinalitan ko na.

    your 356cca probably has some life left in it

    btw i wasn't afraid to drive around w/ such a weak ageing batt coz it's an m/t and i have a jump-start powerbank
