Where there are workshops that change car batteries. You do realise different cars require different batteries and not all cars can use the same batteries?

You doing a survey issit?

lol. just checking if any bros have good recommendation of places to change. different cars uses different sizes, but i guess brands eg. Amaron or others can be recommended based on experience?
i am currently on the brand Rocket, not sure if anybody heard of it before.

Don't think need to compare workshops, not like one replaces battery better than the other in terms of workmanship.

Just compare brand-price. I personally will pick Bosch or GS Yuasa.

all depends on availability & battery types/brands you prefer.

interesting on the different workshop for different cars.

do you guys stick back to the same battery brand or will just change based on price/availability?
anybody using amaron now? is it still as lasting as last time?

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

Agreed. My Amaron changed last year, lasted 13 months, died last week. Best part is sent for servicing last month, they tested and it was still ok.

Now on Gsyuasa. Made in Japan.

Using Varta brand battery….changed twice already. So far so good, no problem during usage (+-18months) before changing. So quite happy with it. Dont really like unpleasant surprises so diligently keep track of the change cycle.
