What Brand Of Battery To Get?

**ParticleX** · June 13th, 2014 01:21 PM

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...

Well nakita ko na ibang Motolite batteries and 3 dealers, lahat ng terminals is on the back side so pag binaliktad di rin aabot.

Eto so far ang mga na scout ko:

Gold 3SM revpol - 5.7k with trade, 21 months
Gold 3SM revpol - 3k - kaso 1 year warranty lang daw. Ang pagkakarinig ko kanina is parang replacement na binalik ng customer pinapabenta

seems like a good deal huh. Kung eto kunin ko pa loadtest ko muna and bring my multimeter

Outlast Super Premium LM revpol 15months - 3.9k
Outlast Loaded MF revpol - 4k with trade

A/T kasi eto so alanganin tumirik... Weekly ko na chinacharge battery kasi medyo paranoid haha

my car's battery (oriental super premium - stock for Innova D4D) is going on 4 years and already showing signs that it needs replacement (i.e. slow cranking in the morning). I would be replacing it with Motolite Enduro. Pano ba malaman kung fresh from the factory yung battery na ibibigay sa akin? salamat!

May date po yan na stamped within the case itself.

Similar question, Nabili ko na yung Outlast Super Premium LM, kaso ngayon ko lang nakita na October 2013 pa yung date sa battery. Considering na dry-charged, ok lang ba ito (i mean kung di ako lugi?). Di ko pa naman nilagay yung solution.

Yung still-working Gold ko gagawin ko na lang "power bank"

Ano bang mas maganda, low maintenace o free maintenance?

**joemelr** · July 21st, 2014 05:06 PM

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.
