    Any feedback?

    I need to replace my car's battery. I will be using the car for 6 months or less as I am selling it already. I don't want to spend too much on a new car battery so I am deciding between the two:

    Oriental 2.5k including trade in
    Negative: If I claim warranty, I will be given a service battery and it will take up to 7 days to replace

    Champion: 2.65k including trade in
    Negative: I have no feedback on the brand
    I can purchase this at a Motolite outlet near home and I know that I will not have difficulty claiming warranty since the people there know me already but then the quality of the battery is questionable

    Don't worry about the warranty if you not using it beyond its warranty. Get the cheapest you can get kahit hindi maintenance free basta pasok sa holder.

    I'm worried because it's so cheap, there's a higher probability that is has factory defect or will die within the warranty period.

    If it dies within the warranty, then get it replaced. Sell the car now pagbili mo battery, don't risk may masira pa habang nasayo yung car. It makes no sense to wait when you don't use it.

    Ang masaya, wait until next year depreciate na ulit. Pag may nasira papagawa mo pa. Sayang lang...

    Yes Motolite. Mas mahal siya sa Oriental. 2.5k Oriental at 2.65k Champion.

    Sabi sakin maintenance free na yan.

    Get the Champion. Added selling point din ang new battery, provided its still in warranty.
