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.

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.
