Battery for Diesel Engines

[HIFI]

I don't buy any Ramcar batteries any more. These includes Motolite and Oriental batteries, especially the "Maintenance Free" types. Every one of these batteries I use breaks down exactly after the warranty period. Pinakamatagal ko, 2 months after warranty.

I use Standard XDRs now. Alagaan ko lang sa tubig, I get 8 to 12 months pa, after warranty period.

i use outlast maintenance free. i'm not very knowledgeable about batteries but the 3 smf i bought from their main office in n. domingo was almost 1k cheaper than a similar motolite and had a 24 month warranty.

there was one time when it was discharged but the problem was traced to a faulty alternator. haven't had problems since.

Magkakano ba ang battery ng diesel over there? Here in the US I have a Die Hard International which has been on the car since I got it in 2004. Never had any problems with it! It was manufactured 2001 pa pala. Up until now trouble free siya.

Are you guys particular sa mga group ng batteries? Anybody tried Optima?

2SMs - It ranges from P2K-4K. yup, wento nga nila erpat and utols hindi raw
basta-basta namamatay ang mga batt dyan sa US. Considering na mga matics.
Tingin ko naman siguro sa init dito.

motolite excel ko nov '01 pa (white) quick starting pa rin. after the
warranty period binuksan ko na sticker to fill it up with distilled water at
nalagyan ko pa ng cement neutralizer noon yung isang butas (more
than a year na) baka yun ang nakatulong. ngayon nga green na ang excel.

sir just curious. how did you know that it was accessible from the top? by the way, Enduro yung white not Excel. The Excel always came in green.

Okay naman motolite enduro. Lahat ng diesel naming sasakyan sa opisina ganyan and no problems so far. I've also been using this type of bat for several years na. Gusto lang siguro ng motolite mas kumita kaya gold and exel ang nirerecommend nila.

Motolite Enduro gamit ko sa Hilander.

All maintenace free batt are sticker sealed from the top. Once you stripped off the sticker, individual holes will be exposed and you can do self maintenance by adding up distilled water once it needs to. Maintenance free lang siya for the entire warranty period.
For best result after the warranty, include you batt water level to your monthly checks.

motolite excels' initial release was white. wala pang enduro noon. now it comes in green.

Try imarflex, lalo na yung pang diesel nila, mas mura kesa motolite.
