What Brand Of Battery To Get?

[number001]

Just an update.

I bought a Motolite Excel 2SM nearly two years ago. First year performance esp. the vehicle start up was really good. About 16 months into its use, it started to exhibit a weaker start. I'm trying to get this replaced under warranty. I brought it to two different battery shops. First one, is where I bought the battery from. They say my alternator needs a checkup, which I think is a misdiagnose bec. it is evident that they don't want to honor the warranty. Second shop which sells the "A" brand, is willing to do a test just to disprove the claims of the first shop, as well as to better defend my warranty claims with the first shop.

If I don't get a replacement, goodbye Motolite. I'm buying the other "A" brand. :D

Para sa akin, questionable na ang quality ng Motolite. For the past 2 years, 2 Motolite batteries na ang pumalya sa 2 cars namin. The 2nd one just today after 11 months pa lang sa starex! Maintenance-free Excel and Gold battery kami parati thru their express hatid service. One battery died 2 years ago and pinalitan naman under warranty pero after 2 weeks pa!! Dinala pa raw sa Espana office nila to verify!
Today naman, 3 hours na kami naghihintay para lang dumating ang "express hatid".
Maayos kausap ang hotline nila but dealers naman pupunta sa yo at poor quality syempre ang dealers.
Goodbye to Motolite na kami. Poor qulaity ang products, sayang at Filipino-made sana. Will check out Bosch or GS.

*number001: ano yung "A" brand? Call Motolite 370-1000 to get a replacement. good luck at usually matagal sila magreplace based on my case last time.

Suggest to buy the biggest battery that will fit your battery holder

sa maintenance free at most 2 years lang ang tinatagal ng bat ko kahit leading brand pa. Pero sa low maintenance magfo 4 years na kahit very cheap brand basta alaga lang sa maintenace that is, refill of distilled water periodically not electrolyte (which can damage the battery).

thinking of going low maintenance too for my fd since i spend a lot of time tinkering under the hood anyway. ano bang recommended low maintenance battery nowadays?

iyong sa monty namin na oem low maintenace batt ok naman din. gs iyong brand niya and i suppose it's thai made

^ same question..

Been through three (3) Motolite Gold batteries already, lumalampas naman sa warranty pero I think di sulit. Etong ikatlo ko eh tinanggal ko na yung sticker to have it refilled with distilled water and recharged. Ok pa naman so far pero since it's an A/T eh battery change is inevtiable na siguro, though lagi naman akong may dala na jumper cables.

Andami kasing naglabasan ngayon na low-maintenance batteries, andyan ang Motolite, Outlast, Quantum, Megaforce, Primera, Electron, etc. you name it. For 3SM reverse polarity pala. Ang mahal na kasi ng 3SM ngayon na maintenance-free.

Am eyeing for a Motolite Truckmaster or an Outlast Super Premium, para at least medyo kampante sa brand name. Yung iba kasi ngayon ko lang narinig Any feedback for these two? Or yung may experience sa ibang LM batteries

Salamat

^ subukan ko din tanggalin iyong sticker ng motolite gold ko hehe

ako din may dala parati jumper cables pero hassle pa din kung mamatayan ng batt lalo na sa mga a/t vehicles tulad ng akin. mamili ka pa kung sinong madali kausap makipag jumperan sa parking lot hehe
