are Maintainance-Free Batteries really better?

[gjtech]

I still use L-F batteries sa MBs ko. .eheh. Super Power Macht (something like that ang pangalan. .ehehe. white siya..):P

HBOY, san makakabili ng super power macht? thanks

[chieffy]

MF batteries are better...less hassle...won't corrode your engine bay
anong brand 'yung gel ang nasa loob :?::?::?:

[OTEP]

chieffy,

Optima?

Have used Delkor, (parang AC Delco from Korea hence the name?) one for my Fuego, and the other sa Trooper. Yong AC Delco, yon ang ginamit ko sa Hilander, ng bumigay na yong motolite Excel, kaso nabenta na yon so wala na akong track doon.

Believe me, pumalya na po sila (delcor), at isang araw lang ang pagitan. Expired na rin po ang warranty :evil: at ang ipinalit ko at Motolite Gold.

Wala namang kwenta yan sensor, green pa sya, pero pag sinukat, NO GOOD na :evil:

By the way, yong latest na sensor sa Motolite Gold ay dalawa na lang ang indicator, Black for Good, and White means cash and hassle. :D

By the way, yong distributor ng delkor sa west ave., iba na ang ang nasa flag banner na battery brand, pero korean pa rin.

I've used both Motolilite and Outlast. IMO, Outlast lasts longer.

[OTEP]

mangyan,

Hindi ba iisa lang ang factory niyan?

Teka, aling mga brands ba ang made by Motolite? Madami yun, eh.

[mangyan]

Sir Otep,

Motolite and Oriental batteries ay iisa ang gumagawa. Ang alam ko,sir, Outlast ay iba.

My old Motolite Gold battery with 15 months warranty ay bumigay na. It lasted 25 months. Kaya eto Motolite Gold ulit. :D

our 99 pajero came with a motolite excel batt MF (white case) when we got it new. 3yrs tong umabot sa amin. when we changed d batt a month ago, motolite excel uli yung binili namin pero dis time green case na and with the "tropicalized" label na.m hoping n apareho yung peformance and duration pero medyo mas mababa nang konti yung rating and specs nung bagong motolite excel (reserve capacity, etc) compared to the one the factory installed :D

Best MF Batteries are the ones with the Absorbed Glass Matt Technology.
I have an Optima Red Top on my truck for 3 years. Just replaced the bike's battery with AGM unit from MK(made in Taiwan 8O) too. These batteries are sealed, nothing to leak(acid or fumes) so they can be mounted almost anywhere and any orentation;also handles the rough stuff much better.

Had to replace my battery after a year, FB brand- N70ZL, lousy brand since this is the second battery that gave in just 1 year! Price was about P1800- lesson here is if you pay peanuts for a battery you end up with sh...:roll:

Canvassed some brands and prices(3SMF):
AC Delco MF:
S95D31L/R 90AH P3400 2yr warr
S80D26L 70AH P2900 2yr warr
Outlast:
Diesel 85AH P3100 18mons warr
N70 MF 80AH P3300 18mons warr
GS(Japan):
75D31L 75AH P2700 18mon warr(?)

What do you think is worthwhile?

MF batt are better hands down!!! wala ka na iisipin na baka natuyuan ng tubig,

[Skywalker]

MF is definitely better than other one but it's more expensive. If you can afford it then go for the MF.

I cant see why anyone would get the old skool batts.

Not everyone can afford it especially the jeepney operators. Peace.

malas, napamahal ako ng bili, should have looked muna, ACdelco na 3smf 3,400 lang. 90 ah pa and 2yrs warrantty. I got motolite excel mf 3700 na and 80 ah lang and 18months warranty lang .

[jackaroo]

Saw AC Delco at Price Smart:
S95D31R/ 90ah at P3.6k
S80D26R/ 70ah at P2.8k

Heard Rocket brand from Korea is also good.

We use DETA (80Ah,white-colored casing Euro OEM with lowered terminals) on all our vehicles. So far lasted 2.5 years average, one is starting to fail na so we were looking for replacements. We heard they now retail at 3,500 as newer models are coming in, at the Panay Av distributor Battery Systems. After- sales-service is very good - you can come back anytime and they will check and recharge if necessary, FOC. We might just go get another one of the same brand. They also carry Optima.

i used an optima red top for my galant V6 that had a 1200 watt rms system in it and i really beat the hell out of that battery. it lasted me over 3 years. very durable and looks good under the hood to boot.

on my stock pajero, i am using a motolite gold. bago pa lang, so i have no idea how long it will last.
