Yes; you are very right about this.
Am quite shock to see this.

May I seek your advise with which brand & model to opt for?
If it convenient, mind stating the price(est); where can it be purchased at a reasonable price?
Btw my car only require 45Ah.

TIA

If you know the stockist for your car model, can enquire if there is any OE brand of battery specific for your car.

I am driving a VW and there are OE batteries for my Golf. I got it from the stockist and replace it when it is due time or if battery died at my place. OE batteries may cost slightly cheaper than some other brands.

Else wise, if you are looking for brands, Varta or Bosch is good to go.

Energizer, Varta, Bosch never gave me problems. Fiamm is also good but JIS sizes are not available. Bosch and Varta have all sizes from JIS and DIN. ie jap, korean and conti cars, trucks all covered. Energizer mostly JIS and some DIN batteries for cars and 10ft lorries.

Unfortunately most workshops only carry those cheap brands because they dont like your car battery to work too well, and also because most customers are price sensitive and care little about battery brands.

I got my battery from puncturedtyre.com but they are a mobile service so it may cost $50 more than from a workshop. Autobacs has bosch batteries but it seems rather expensive. Of course the original car agents will stock branded batteries but most ppl wont like their prices and waiting time.
Thanks for the enlightenment; so to say I should be looking for Bosch and Varta?

For 45Ah; any thing to look out for?
For eg like tyres; we will look out for manufacture date and country.

Any thing we need to take note of during the purchase?

Likewise, any indication of pricing for 45Ah that you may know of as not to be a carrot even thou it is expensive but how expensive?

Thanks

45AH batteries are mostly for toyota altis camry vios, suzuki carry rush, honda airwave accord fit civic stream odyssey vezel. It should not exceed $150 and not below $100 for a 55B24L.

Batteries for petrol engine cars have one year warranty. If the battery is in the engine compartment, it usually wont last more than 2 years.

Just buy and use it. I do not know of workshops who cheat customers with bad batteries. What they usually do is sell you the cheapest brand, since most people like cheap, and knowing that it will fail after a year, and along with it perhaps your alternator since it has to work harder to charge a battery that does not retain its full charge very well, since it deteriorates much quicker.

If u are on a tight budget and the car is getting scrapped or sold, a 42B20L is enough. Otherwise u can pay slightly more for a 55B24L. Price wise is best to ask when u r ready to buy.

actually dont really understand the model code, online cant find much too.

can explain to me the difference between 40B20L versus 46B24L? thanks
35ah versus 45ah?

found a oem brand fukuda, price is very reasonable and quick in service. 10 min and done le, $60-70 only which include installation.

attach is the image
i guess u guys can google it or if need address can pm me.

How about this Zap car battery from Europe. www.zapbatteries.sg I saw quite a few workshop carrying. Dunno wat it mean by silver battery but Specs seems good and made in Europe. Price also reasonable after I inquire.

Use Bosch before. Very bad quality. Try Yasu (think they change name already), best.

Hi all,

This thread was originally "Amaron" and now hijacked by so many others. :)
I'll like to contribute something to all the bros here looking at car battery change:

#1. The real purpose of changing the car battery is not to change the car battery, but to start the car and get back on the road. Therefore, unless your battery is changed during routine servicing (or a "proactive change") - the focus should be on finding a reliable service provider that can rescue you quickly using a good battery at a good price.

#2. Car batteries in Singapore come with a 1-year warranty. But the problem is this: if you car can't start during the warranty period due to the car battery, how do you get to the workshop to claim the warranty? Therefore be sure to get an "onsite warranty" from whoever that changes your car battery. They should be able to come onsite to you, and if it is really the car battery that's causing the problems, they should give you a 1-for-1 swap. At no cost.

And yes, we prefer Amaron - the market leader in Singapore with > 50% marketshare and known for high cranking power and being long lasting.

Thanks for your clarification. I have done the necessary edits as you suggested.

If I don't leave the post intact, a certain user may presume that nothing was done and continue to assume the moderators are not doing their job. ;)
