    Lahat ng napagtanungan ko walang 3SM reverse polarity na low-maintenance Is this true or they are just doing this to sell me a 'maintenance-free' battery?

    Is there any way to extend the battery cables?

    Edit: Or pwede ko ba baliktarin na lang yung battery para yung tamang side eh aabot sa clamps?

    ParticleX, hindi yata puwede yung regular battery, dapat reverse talaga. kung regular battery ang kukunin mo, babaliktad na rin ang (+) and (-), hindi na rin aabot yung clamps.

    the cables can be lengthened. (actually, it may be more practical to replace them with longer cables.)
    but first, you have to see if the terminals will touch the metal hood overhead, once the battery is turned 180 degrees.
    good luck.

    Ang current kasi na orientation ng sakin is (-....+, posts are on the back) which is reverse polarity I think, kasi ganito sinasabi sakin ng mga battery dealers. 'Normal' battery polarity is (+....-, posts are on the front) diba? So pag binaliktad ko 180 deg it would suit my vehicle basta abot ang clamps?

    Re: extending battery cables, kakarewire lang kasi ng electricals and the clamps are replaced with the newer OEM style na integrated yung terminal, hindi na yung clamp na inii-screw ang wires which I have previously. I don't like to hack into it ngayon...

    Imho low maintenance batt last longer than maint free ones, only downsides are frequent monitoring & refilling of distilled water, batt water spillage is corrosive if overfilled.

    I'll answer my own question, dry-charged batteries are still good 1-2 years before filling with acid

    So, sa maint free ba hindi na kailangan magrefill ng distilled water, etc?

    Amaron for me. Before nung may Revo pa kami yung motolite gold tumagal na higit 4 years. Manual kasi yun at walang electronics masyado. Nung sa Grand Starex ko Amaron pinalit ko sa stock battery nung tumirik after 2 years
