Recommended Posts

My Amaron battery decided to give up after 10 months in service again! This is the 2nd one I had replaced under warranty when the first died on me at the 11th month.

 

Any good recommnendation for 80 AH battery? hear Odyssey is good. The Merc original cost S$380 bucks. Shall I just buy that?

 

All input welcome!

You can ask Bro Kb27 for help.

I still find amaron battery the most lasting among so many brands.

 

Now I change car battery every 12months.

 

I don't want to be stranded on the road.

 

Bad experience few years back.

Waited for double A to rescue me and they took almost 4hrs at PIE

your car is it diesel?

Can't be la. For diesel vehicles, the warranty only 6 mths.

 

He said he claimed during the 11th month.

shop also claim back from supplier. No diff....

 

I'm asking not to siam the shop.

 

Some shops refuse to admit battery failure.

 

This shop seems good and allows exchg, maybe even 2nd time.

 

I hope the shop can be shared as they seem honest.

diesel got more heat

heat spoil battery

but wrapping battery in heat resistance material like fire blangket, wait fire, worse, cannot claim

What is the charging voltage ?   

Might be the charging incompatible with the Amaron.

 

I had similar experience.

My previous car charges the battery at 14.6V.

Original battery was the maintenance type.  The high voltage causes excessive gassing.  

Every month  need to top up water. I changed to an expensive maintenance free battery.  

IIRC,  it failed at the 11th month.  The battery was bloated and most likely dry inside.

Check your alternator and its regulator. Sounds like your battery is overcharged.
