No maintenance or Low maintenance Battery?

[zap.FREEDOM]

I have used several MF batteries in the past and yes it will die just a few months after the warranty. But my current ( still stock ) is a low maintenance Oriental battery is still running fine after 4years and 6 months. This is by far the longest running battery i had. i believe this only has 12months warranty. anyone knows a shop selling this kind of battery. gusto ko sana ganito rin ipalit ko.

what happened on mine is after the warranty siguro mga 6 months pa nakalipas bago ma-drain, then I had it to charge to a charging station, ayun tumagal pa ng 1 and 1/2 years after I bought a new one, btw sir, maganda talaga yan oriental brand na yan, yan ang may gawa sa motolite, yan nga yun brand na hinahanap ko e, kaso mukha hindi ata nagrerealease ang oriental and motolite corporation phils. ng ganyan sa mga maliliit na distributor mukhang sa mga car manufacturers/casa lang talaga sila nagbabagsak ng batteries, that's why i arrived at motolite enduro, mas sumikat ang motolite kasi yun ang naka-front lagi sa mga advertisements.

I remember I used the brand Champion. It took 2 years, 7 months (namatay yung isang butas, non-MF). Di ko nalalagyan ng tubig, paminsan-minsan lang, linis lang ng terminals. I bought same brand, pero MF na. Di ko na alam kung ano na nangyari kasi naibenta ko si 77 Corolla last year (missed that old school car).

Na discharge battery ko last week dahil naiwanan ko naka hazard yun kotse. Pagbalik ko sa kotse ay patay na yun ilaw ng hazard at ayaw ng mag start kotse. Kailangan itulak kotse para mag start uli.
Then I remember na siguro dapat palitan battery ko kasi last palit ko ng Motolite Battery Gold ay noon ma-Ondoy kotse last 2009. The following day to confirm kung weak na ang battery ko ay while patay engine ko ay turn -on ko Aircon, Radio, Headlamp naka High Beam. Then start ko yun kotse. Ayun, 1 click lang nag start naman. So hindi ko itinuloy bumili ng bago Motolite Gold 2SM. Lancer EL 96 kotse ko. Ang tibay ng battery ko kahit everyday use yun kotse.

need help naman on the best way to clean and prevent battery terminal corrosion...TIA.

solution of baking soda and water, use a old toothbrush to apply the solution and clean your terminals.

ako ni refill ko ng battery water yun motolite enduro... ok lang kaya yun?

A wet battery is always better than a cell that dried out (run out of fluids)

Actually thats the best practice to extend the life of your battery even the so called maintenance free

yun natuyuan yun NON MF battery ng wigo ng friend ko distilled water lang ginamit ko pang refill. may matandang lalake sa gas station na iiling iling at mali daw. OK pa naman wigo ng friend ko after 4 months, ang tanong may long term effect ba ito sa battery? salamat

Balik ako maintenance free after using the stock low maintenance batt and its lmb replacement for about 3.5 years. Hassle iyong mga acidic discharge nya.

Checking on its health is no problem for me since i try to clean the engine bay on a weekly basis anyway but its acid emissions is a chore to remove w/c gets old real fast

to be or not to be, that always confuses me!

it may, or it may not, po. depende sa gaano katagal at gaano ka-tuyo.
just enjoy it while it lasts.
it might still die of regular old age.

sabi ko nga regardless, since 1 year old na auto kako pag apak ng 2nd year palitan narin nya ng MF batt. babae kasi di mahilig sumilip sa engine bay ^_^

Oo mas safe at convenient yan, iwas pusoy. 2 years is worth it na rin naman for a MF battery.

my wigo battery died 3 years after the car left the showroom.

plano ko sa MF ko bro, buksan tapos top up hehehe
15 months warranty kasi yung 3k battery nabili ko last year, tapos yung pinalitan nya (motolite); pwede pa daw sana kung natubigan agad, kaso MF nga. nilagyan ng tubig nun taga motolite, sinabi sakin bawal daw yun pero mukha daw ako poor kaya ginawa nya. abot pa daw yun ng 1 year, pero di na marerestore.

Kung 15 months Mf mo, sa 14th month pa lang buksan mo na para lagyan. maybe mga 2-3 months mo pa magamit imho. Lalo na if gas engine yan, hindi masyado bugbog battery. Pero hindi na talaga tumatagal pa mga ganyan after warranty.

^Mas bugbog ang battery sa gas kasi spark ignition requires battery charge. When your alternator fails the spark plugs can only depend on the RC (reserved current) of the battery to keep running. RC is measured in minutes, that means after the alternator failed to supply the battery the battery have only that much time to keep on supplying electric charge to the spark plug. After which the engine will seize to operate, so its important to note the RC specification of the battery installed in your car. Turning off the entertainment system will help in this scenario

Diesel utilizes compression ignition that does not require battery charge. You can keep a diesel engine running without a battery, only after push starting it ofcourse for manual or jump starting it with another car for automatic. In the event the alternator fails, the engine will just keep on running. The only thing the RC could be useful for is your entertainment

We can only prolong the life of a battery by keeping the cells wet, we cant restore it back to its original glory as acids deteriorate the metalic component of every battery

Dapat sulphuric acid nilagay mo, that fluid contains more ions that facilitate flow of electricity

Distilled water is for topping up only because its presumed that the cell still contain lead acid

A dry cell is an open circuit, it wont facilitate flow of electricity, adding distilled water contains minimal ions that facilitaded electric flow so it has no adverse effect. You could have energized the battery more had you utilized sulphuric acid fluid instead

meron akong innova gas na 2005 model...
1st battery (stock GS high maintenance) - had it replaced after 6 years.
2nd battery (motolite gold MF) - more than 5 years in counting. kaya depende siguro sa electrical system ng isang sasakyan yung life span ng battery. my diesel fed TBZ's stock ac delco battery only lasted for 2 years.

^sana yun exact type, model, manufacturing date at size ng delco battery ng diesel car mo ang ginamit mo sa gas car mo to fairly compare

sino may alam paano baklasin yung top part ng 3k battery?
sa motolite kasi kahit papaano pwede mo tanggalin lang sticker, kita na yun paglalagyan ng tubig. sa 3k kasi flat lang, sa ilalim bakat yung mga holes. thanks!

pictures of your battery with the top sticker removed will help
