Geez... my batt that lasted 3-4 years (as i mentioned in the previous post) just died out this morning. :blink: :blink: It was on our B14 Sentra with electircal mods only to the headlights (relays + 90/100W bulbs). This is the same Motolite batt we had since the car was purchased brand new in late 1999.
However, i went over my other records and the other cars we had which used Motolite maintainance-free would only last around 2 years or so.
I also checked my Frontier's battery and it already has leaks (Motolite, 1 year+ old).
I think i wanna try another battery. Any one with experience with the Oriental Battery... Would the climate we have be of any relevance to the performance/longevity of imported batteries (i.e. AC Delco)?

My previous Motolite Gold (15-months warranty) lasted for good'ol 24 months. I currently have my 2nd Motolite Gold installed in my Strada.

I was thinking that I would get another Motolite Excel on my next purchase as my first one has 18 month warranty (I hope this is right), the battery lasted for about 15 months so I got a new one for free. I thought that was a good deal but if AC Delco lasts that long, I think I'll update my battery shopping list.
Is there any way to know if a battery will be needing a replacement?
Is it okay to remove the sticker from an MF battery and then refill it with distilled water?

The non-maintainance free batteries last longer. I would still be using this on my pick-up had i not gotten any spillover problems with them (lagi tumatapon yung water while driving)... kinalawang tuloy yung metal plate sa ilalim ng battery. :x
i had my original spare mag stolen, years ago. i had since installed a cheap bicycle lock, and no...
