how long did your maintenance-free battery last?

different from ac delco. Cheaper siya than ac delco. We are based Cebu kasi, don't know if meron yan sa Manila. Maski sa mga 4w and 6w service and delivery vehicles namin, ginawa ko na ring MF, kasi with the low maintenance or the conventional batteries, di marunong mag take care yung mga drivers as much as we wanted to. Net result, at least 4 months improvement in average battery life.

Jackaroo, pa-summarize na lang ang lahat ng comments namin so you can come up with the final answer to your question. I want to have an answer to this also kasi, I want a battery that lasts.

well... based from the posts most of the people here use motolite batteries. plus it is also one way of supporting filipino-made products.

sori, won't be able to answer u on that kasi phased out na ng supplier. They used to carry delkor 15 months and 18 months warranty. Infact, maski yung replacement ng delkor, out of stock na rin, don't know if they will have stock pa.

oulast battery last for 4 years on my civic. i purchased the esi on 94 with outlast battery and change it on 98, then again on 2002. it is ok up to now. based on the cycle, 2006 pa palit ko(hopefully, hehehehe). it is philippine made. motolite low maintenance(?) on my trooper lasted for more than 1 year. ngayon, 1 year and 1 mos na outlast sa trooper ko(4jg2). nagandahan lang ako sa performance sa civic ng outlast kaya ko sya subok sa trooper. a good friend of mine works at motolite at sinasabi ko sa kanya ito, well sabi nya tyempo tyempo raw yan. btw, my esi have RF 200ix and 4ch(forgot the model) as a setup.

Konting ingat sa mga batteries niyo guys, regardless of brand.

Recently a friend of mine had his car spontaneously burst into flames while it was parked at the office. Nagkagulo talaga yung mga security guards, akala nila car bomb. Napatay nila eventually yung apoy, but the car, a Daihatsu Feroza, was already declared undriveable due to the extent of the damage. Upon investigation, lumalabas na hindi na-replace yung battery ever since nabili yung sasakyan, kaya pinagmulan ng apoy.

my previous battery lasted for 3 years to the day! it was a Super Power brand battery, discontinued na daw un e. pero ung replacement na kinuha ko, according to the shop, is made by the same manufacturer, oriental yata, and its the replacement for super power. di ko lang ma recall now kung ano exact brand. pero may warranty sya ng 24 months.
