Ahyoo2002 2nd Gear June 3, 2011 Share June 3, 2011 Hi all, I signed up for Hankook membership sometime ago and was given a $55 voucher for car battery replacement. I never used Hankook battery before and hence I would like to ask whether anyone used before and any feedback on whether the battery is good, is it lasting? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kb27 Supersonic June 6, 2011 Share June 6, 2011 Hankook batt is cheap, but it doesn't appear to last long, based on what I've recovered. It also appears to be from the same factory that make other brands like Atlas and Koba. At least the container looks exactly the same except the label.

Used Koba before, but sold my car one year after that and hence not sure whether Koba is good. According to Hankook guy, Hankook and Koba come from same factory. Now it seems Hankook mostly carried Hankook brand only. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last car was the ToyotaG9 hippolola... the battery also korean, but it lasted 3yrs. I do note that the battery then was not directly in the air path of the hot air from radiator.
