When replacing your battery do you wait for it to die or buy a new one every X years?

to the OP:

you can always have the battery and the vehicle's electricals checked. my trusty battery dealer does it for free, testing for the battery's nominal output, charge capacity, and what-not. it then gives out a reading, giving you an idea just how 'healthy' the battery is.

or pwede rin 'pakiramdaman'. fresh batteries crank and start any vehicle almost instantaneously, assuming there are no other problems. batteries that have been in use longer take more time to crank and start.

basta may signsand symptoms na nagpapalit na ko. '99 HONDA SIR.

True po yan,may signs naman po when you need to look for replacement na.But if you have plenty moolah,every 1 year pwede na kayo magpalit.

Try Motolite enduro its their lower end battery. 1 year warranty, just bought one for P3450, sa Lipa City nga lang.

Ok din Outlast, per their website 3SM or N70 prices:
Premium 1 year warranty 4,300, pag di tubig 1 year warranty P3,600
Super preimum 15 month warranty P4,000
Super preimum 20 months warranty P5,400
Exceed 24 months warranty P6,000

BTW, san mura bumili ng 8D or N200? I need 2 eh ang mahal ng Motolite and Outlast. Pinaka murang canvass ko ay P9,000 each 9 months warranty lang. Ok kaya ang ibang brands? Tatagal kaya?

pag mahina medyo mahina na, trade in na para sa bago.

wait for it to die AFTER you or your mechanic (w/ electrical know-how) have checked terminals, alternator charging &/or starter (for starting problems), ignition coil, high tension wires, fuses, etc.
a lot of alternator defects are mistaken to be caused by weak or dead battery.

Bili na lang ng battery once the signs are there. . . Naranasan ko na kasing tumulak ng kotse.
