2016 Toyota Fortuner

[dr. d]

the MOtolite Excel models I have in my cars (gas and diesel SUV's) usually breaches 4 years of regular use that is why i like them. I also live in the city of pines where cranking power of battery are at their highest during the cold season...
One Motolite Excel even lasted 6 years in my LC BJ44....

but if you really want a long lasting and hardy battery with a strong reserve and cranking power, get the gel-type like the OPTIMA

i have no experience with gel-type optima.
is it worth the advertised thrice-the-cost of conventional motolites?

usually benz use the optima battery.... though dont think it will last 3 times as long though.... i am considering to buy the ctek battery charger though...
some claim that it can extend the life of the battery....

many years ago, when we were young and poor-ish, we used to trickle-charge our battery. in our opinion, it did increase battery life. we just don't do it nowadays, dahil... "la lang. tamad."
i think, any ordinary battery charger, used regularly, can increase car battery life.

thanks. any idea on how many months it can extend its battery life? in cold weather alam ko it really improves it a lot...

well,
kuya was trickle-charging his battery, and i was not.
his battery lasted 4 years. i replaced mine after 2 years.
he was willing to go the hassle. i prefered to sleep.

for regular daily use, no. For extreme offroading, and severe cold weather, yes, as the Optima is leak-proof and u can mount it anyway u want. Still MOtolite Excel for me....

i did think, the optima was designed for off-road use and vehicles that get abused as a matter of raison de etre.
champion by motolite dati ako. until they raised the price.

Mga bossing, my fortuner 2016 is a G variant so hindi sa LED yung headlights. Now gusto ko syang maging LED headlights, meron po bang plug and play nun o kailangan conversion kit? What brand is good and how much would it cost?

my un-solicited, tongue-in-cheek, matamaan-na-ang-matamaan respond:
"remove your front windshield tint. having done that, you may not think you need a headlight upgrade after all."
