Sorry po mods kung dapat sa wtb ito pero I need expert opinions kasi balak ko ng magpalit ng brand. Champion yung nakalagay ngayon sa auto ko since nabili ko sya last year. Preferred ko po mga sir yung no-maintenance. Thanks po in advance.

CRC Enterprises will deliver free. QC to Caloocan, 30 mins dumating battery ko. 024122627 or 023725037 . They are an Outlast distributor so may price advantage ang Outlast sa kanila compared to the other brands they sell. Also indicate if you plan to trade in your old battery.

Btw, pwede makipagtawaran sa kanila.

ako dati motolite mga 2-3 years outlast maganda daw sabi ng mga driver mura pa. Ang current gamit ko GS generic brand but has a good quality never pa nag fail sa akin mga 3 years basta well maintained and checked every year meron nga 5 years inabot. ang maintenance free useless for me mga 1 year dapat bantayan mu na mas mahal pa. ang ang regular minsan ka lang mag dagdag ng tubig evey 6 mo's lang ako mag dag dag gamit ko absolute distilled water lang.

I guess it would really depend on your car condition. My 97' accord has a four year old battery and it's still running. I guess the conditions that would increase battery life is how good your electrical system of your car is. The second factor I think ( though not proven ) is how cool your battery is kept. My accord's battery is kept pretty far away from the engine block (compared to my civic) so I figure the battery last longer because of this. What do you guys think?

guys, for your battery maintenance, i have a battery electrolyte that will help prolong your batteries. it is a chemical that prevents corrosion and breaks hard crystallized sulfate forming on plates.
Sulfation is one cause of premature cell damage that eventually kills your battery. if you can prevent this, expect longer battery service life.
another cause is the corrosion on plates, if this happen, the plates will flakes off that will result to damaged cell.
what coolant is to radiator; then REVIVE to battery. applicable on low maintenance and maintenance-free battery.

i will give samples to those interested. just PM to me. limited only.

also, in buying battery, always look for the manufacturing date of the battery. dont accept batteries older than 6 months specially for maintenance free. why? MF battery is self discharging when sitting.

Just replaced my battery this morning, first time since nabili yung ride. Motolite Gold MF. Ayaw na kasing mag-start kagabi, tapos nag-reset yung digital clock and HU ko, sure sign na discharged na yung baterya. Sulit na din, lasted me two years and two months of actual use, with periodic check-up sa casa.

Replacement ko ngayon is Motolite Excel MF Tropicalized, got it for 4.2k minus 100 for the old battery. Warranted for 24 months.

i'm about to replace my battery. anyone hear can comment on the japanese made gs battery? its basically priced similarly w/ my current battery (motolite gold n40/1 snf (P3009 less P85 w/ trade-in)).:question: the gs battery was pegged at P3100 less P100 w/ trade-in + a t-shirt. iyong outlast wala pa akong idea. alin ba ok dito?

the motolite battery i'm about to replace lasted me 2 years and 9 months. kanina nag-loloko na iyong alarm habang nag papalinis ako ng aircon kaya papalitan ko na. ok ba iyong motolite enduro? btw the car is a '96 civic vti
