Good-Carbuyer 1st Gear November 9, 2011 Share November 9, 2011 The battery load-tester was not involved in my case. Just that the tyre mech wanted to shift my car to the jack for rotating tyres. He told me that the engine cannot start, battery flat, have to change battery, want to change ? This is a tyre & battery shop. Anyway, it was just too "coincidental". btw, the service level at this tyre shop is below my expecation. When I enquired about charges for high-speed balancing. The guy rudely replied don't have high-speed balancing, Singapore max 90 km/h only what. All wheels need to be balanced at least each time when you replace them. You never know when you could have two tire punctured at the same time, and you were far away from help (could be outstation). You may need to rotate a rear wheel or both rear wheels to the front (I assume it is front wheel drive). Replace a/the rear with the spare, to drive back (on 3 wheels configuration). Do not try drifting. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosch is not that good either. One workshop owner I know is so pissed with Bosch (due to short life) that he switched his entire battery stock to Motolite.

Did u install any ICE or any electrical stuff ? U using the correct battery size? Could it be your alternator not working properly? Do u drive every day and every night? Do u turn off everything before shutting down the engine ? Do u turn on immediately everything just after u crank start your engine ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my Caddy, I'm using Enercell DIN74. It's still cranking like new after 1 yr 3 mths. Varta Blue is not very good. I think it's MIC. Varta Silver is much better, but cost higher.

Neutralsg 5th Gear November 12, 2011 Share November 12, 2011 Hey, don't be rude ok? U do it your way and do it at your own risk. Yeobh had been around for long time and he knows his stuff pretty well. Just ignore the guy lah. Obviously a conceited and unfriendly chap from the way he posts. He didn't even bother to reply when I responded to one of his post. Perhaps, he realised that he was trying to be too clever Most of us will already know from Yeobh various posts that he does have some authority over such matters and had contribute meaningfully in this forum for the benefit of members here. Have a nice day! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neutralsg 5th Gear November 12, 2011 Share November 12, 2011 Amaron has 12 months warranty. I really trust Amaron more than any other brands. Been using it for years for 3 diff cars. Never fail me at all Have yet to replace my weak battery and should be looking at Amaron with 65AH rating. I got offer for 60AH rating however, I feel it would be better to replace with same or slightly higher rating. BTW, what is the rating of your current battery and what is the best cost available for such battery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
