Unpainted metal surface, I usually clip it to the bolt/nut of the shock absorber mounting.

Oks lang yan charge in situ...Mine most of the time nakahook up sa Battery Tender. 2x a week naka 24hr sya connected Kapag nasa out of town work ako. So proven no issue magcharge nakakabit ang Battery.

san mo kinakabit yung negative clamp?

Sa negative post/terminalng Battery, actually nakafixed na yun charger cable and meron sya quick connect type nakaabang sa labas.

What to check kapag ayaw gumana auto dim ng rear view mirror? It's been months ng di gumagana yun sa Everest namin. Not sure how to fix it.

hindi na ma maintain yung charge ng battery after ma charge. pag mag papalit ako ng battery straight swap lang - buy battery from motolite then put in new battery no additional steps to do before and after, wala kelangan i-reset?

[Jiggs]

My experience last January when I replaced mine, the battery technician just told me to keep the engine running while he remove and replace the battery with a new one. So far wla naman nagging error sa ECU. Also asked the casa and was told nothin nga daw to reset.

thanks!

Has anybody tried to use a 3SMF battery instead of a DIN66/74 battery without issues? The price and specs value proposition of a 3SMF in terms of cost and availability seems to be worth looking at. Are there mechanical restrictions (cables not long enough) in doing such?

My batteries died at almost 3 years, and now am searching for options. The DIN batteries are "special" types/form factors not readily available in battery shops lately, and are cost prohibitive vs. their 3SM counterparts.

I'll check out the cable slack later when I remove the battery. Yung height, tataas by about 2 in,, but have seem other owners use DIN74, which is taller by almost an inch.

Battery tray length though seems to be a very tight fit.

Was checking out the specs of the factory stock Fomoco(GS) battery, and the Motolite DIN66. The electrical specs of an Amaron Pro 2SMF or a Motolite Excel 2SMF seem to match if not surpass the CCA, RC, and weight specs of their DIN65/66 counterparts, just for info. Price to pay for that special "Euro" form factor?

DIN66 and DIN74 have similar dimensions except height. I did use DIN74 before on my Fiesta Ecoboost as there was no available DIN66 when my stock battery died. When the DIN74 died out (32 months), I used DIN66 already.

While the specs are mostly the same, DIN 66 is not just shorter by around 50mm compared to 2SM, the terminals are also recessed. Best to try a sample 2SM battery before ordering.

As far I know, the DIN (Euro size) batteries has a different terminal layout compared to the usual Japanese sized batteries. I suggest using the prescribed size to lessen mounting issues.

My old Fiesta Ecoboost used a DIN66 size battery and I bought a replacement from Amaron. The price is 7k for DIN66. I think the DIN74 size is around 8k. Our Jetta TDI uses a DIN55/60 battery and we bought one (Amaron Pro, 24 months warranty) recently for 6900.

I suggest looking for an Amaron or Panasonic battery dealer. They have more DIN size options compared to Motolite. The price is around the same for all three brands.

You are correct. The busbar network may pose an issue as it increases the height by about an inch more. Retrofitting the inline fuses may also be a pain.

Last time I checked the Fiesta used a DIN44 like the Focus and EcoSport.
If I recall it was the Focus TDCI (diesel) that used the DIN66.

The DIN44 Motolite Gold is in the P6K range, this also happened to the the same exact battery (OEM) for the locally assembled gasoline Focus Mk2 models.

The non turbo Fiestas (1.4L, 1.6L, 1.5L) used the DIN44 battery size. The 1.0L Ecoboost Fiesta uses the DIN66 battery size like the Focus 1.5L Ecoboost.

if the replacement battery fits the mounting area, fits the electrical specs, and the cables are adequately long, i'd get it.
