Victor68 Turbocharged June 13, 2009 Share June 13, 2009 Anyone know the local agent for 'Super Power' maintenance free battery? I bought it less than a year ago and now is it flat. Any recommendation for replacement here in Singapore that is cheap and good? Quick advice welcomed / appreciated because I need to change it fast before I am unable to start the car.

Victor68 Turbocharged June 13, 2009 Author Share June 13, 2009 thank you guys, I know any brand will do. The last time I replaced it and couldn't find a standard non-maintenance free battery. Thinking the technology has improved and I went ahead with the change. Standard battery usually last 2 to 3 years with proper care. Maybe this time got to go for a better brand. GT maybe?

Fcw75 Hypersonic June 14, 2009 Share June 14, 2009 No one will dare to offer few years warranty for their batteries. The longest so far I heard is AA, which is offering 14 mths for the Amaron batteries they are selling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeobh 4th Gear June 14, 2009 Share June 14, 2009 (edited) Even if you managed to get a battery supplier to extend the warranty period, the chance of you claiming warranty is still very very slim as the supplier can easily point out that your alternator is not rectifying the ac current 100% into dc current and the percent of ac current entering the battery has directly caused an internal short circuit.

Sir8 Neutral Newbie June 14, 2009 Share June 14, 2009 Just did at Bosch (Korean made) 72AH for $140. i jus changed to yuasa batt.$140 for 55amh. not sure cheap or not...but mayb cheapest in my area. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smhomie Clutched June 14, 2009 Share June 14, 2009 Just did at Bosch (Korean made) 72AH for $140. I thought Bosch is made in india? I happened to look at Amara Raja infosite and they are manufacturers of Amaron (house brand), Optima (JV with Johnson Controls) and Bosch... Is your Bosch battery a different design? or simply related to you by shopkeeper? They are known to b-------t alot just to sell becuase of consumers' quality perception Even Varta is made in china...

Sir8 Neutral Newbie June 14, 2009 Share June 14, 2009 Not thinking much it's just a $140 battery can last within warranty good enough. :) I thought Bosch is made in india?

Pyramid_sg Clutched June 15, 2009 Share June 15, 2009 Varta or Hoppecke (from AA) is quite good. If you are using a Conti, they will recommend that you use Hoppecke. My battery has lasted me over 2 years now. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
