Changing Car Battery

[really_noob]

did you change back to the same Ah rating battery~?

No, the Gsyuasa one now has higher rating than the Amaron one. A bit more costly too, but it's ok as the workshop I went was still open at 7pm. My car has start stop but I don't have 24/7 dashcam recording, so not too fussy with the Ah.

Equally comparable to Varta, if not better.

I am using it. So far so good.

Got it at 150 with 6 months warranty.

I requested that they use a third battery to help me change battery without keeping the engine running and they obliged.

Varta is a known brand, I used before, no bad experience.

I thought most batteries are 1 year warranty.
So far all the places I changed battery, they will use another battery to preserve the car settings. I thought this is the standard way of changing battery rather than keep the engine running or unplug the old one and insert new without the backup.

No idea but I replaced my tires with him too. Honest chap.

Using another battery is the correct way but unfortunately many lazy mechanic chose to keep the engine running, risking your ICU chip.

Workshop matter meh? Just install battery nia..

Decide what type of battery your car needs (AGM, EFB?), then look up the brands. Then look for workshop that sell that brand

Not alot of workshop bring in.
And if they sell Amaron, it is the other version hi life or smth. The old version made in india is the best.

Anyone know where got sell Varta LN2 EFB battery? Or similar LN2 type?

 

[jumpmanz]

actually in terms of brands, I prefer Bosch or Varta. Amaron probably cheaper but won't deliver consistent performance..

bosch batteries dont last as long compared to the past. delkor impressed me.

Warranty 1 year or 6 months, does not matter. Only cover manufacturer defects.

Just wanna share this experience. So we decided to drive up to kl last june for a few meetings. Somehow, my friends car battery died and couldn't start after dinner. Our Malaysian staff helped us arrange for a new battery to be delivered and install at the restaurants carpark. Took them less than an hour to arrive and install the new battery. It only costs 800rm+ iirc. He is driving a s300 and he said he paid >500$ to replace his battery in sg. Can't recall the brand of the battery but I'm quit sure it wasn't amron. It was some European brand.

The guy gave me friend the warranty card and asked him to download the app. Cos they also provide the same service in johor.
