Car Battery: Amaron vs AC Delco vs Panasonic vs 3k

**Egan101** · April 3rd, 2016 03:36 PM

My stock battery is showing some signs that it is loosing some juice even though the battery technician told me that it still has some life left on it. I checked Motolite for DIN66 and was surprised to know it is around 7.5k to 8k.

I searched for other brands and below offer MF DIN66 batteries (including their price). Which would be my best option among them? Thanks.

3K MF 15 months - 4.6k
Panasonic MF 18 months - 5.4k
AC Delco MF 24 months - 6.5k
Amaron MF 24 months - 7.6k

How old is the existing battery? Short drives daily?

Amaron is popular for a reason.

The stock FoMoCo battery is now 21 months old. My Fiesta Ecoboost is my daily driver. Sucat to Makati CBD and back is the normal route.

I prefer a longer warranty... but that pana's price looks good. Is the pana made in philippines?

My sister who just drives... just calls motolite for her trusty old vios.

There are Panasonic batteries made in Japan and some are made in Thailand. I heard from others who use them on their Subaru cars that it is good even past 24 months.

I am bit disappointed with the pricing of Motolite for the DIN66 size. AC Delco and Amaron offers a better price over Motolite Gold. AC Delco and Amaron offers 24-month warranty for their MF batteries.

replaced my original 3.5 year old GS battery for Montero with Motolite Gold MF 3sm before holy week.. bought it for 5,700 w/21 months warranty, less 500 trade-in so 5,200 na lang binayaran ko..

here are their prices for motolite 3sm..
Enduro 15mos - 4,700
Gold 21mos - 5,700
Excel 24mos - 6,800 (no stock at that time)

*Elroi - Reasonable naman price ng Motolite sa mga usual battery sizes na 1SM, 2SM, or 3SM. Yung mga Euro sizes na DIN55, DIN66, at DIN74 yung presyo nasa 7k pataas.

Recently bought a 3 SM Amaron having a 90Ah and a CCA of 750. Way powerful than Motolite Gold for 5.5k (discounted for I traded in my old motolite gold). Just wondering if the 7.6k is another battery model?
