Kb27 Supersonic October 23, 2015 Share October 23, 2015 (edited) somemore told me Japanese car cannot install Amaron battery. What a load of rubbish. All battery brands can be installed in all cars. The only difference is the type being sold. For Japanese car, you need a JIS standard battery, which means it's of certain dimensions, the terminals are protruding out and normally has no base. For Conti or Korean car, you need DIN standard or battery with base. The terminals are flushed with the battery tops. But some less popular battery brands play on the word Japanese or German standards, to give the false impression that they are made in that country.

Kb27 Supersonic October 23, 2015 Share October 23, 2015 very clear info, thank you bro.... my workshop usually recommends what capacity is sufficient for my car use (basic ICE, nothing else)... Usually you want to go for oem standard capacity. Basic ICE is really nothing much, unless you have gigantic amps and do full blast with 10x 12" subwoofers. In that case, you'd really want to upgrade the alternator first. The battery is sized, based on starting engine current and what it needs to comfortably power normal car electrical,electronics. The real flow of power supply comes from the alternator. Battery is just an electrical storage device. Without a big enough alternator providing the required electrical consumption, the battery will still run flat eventually, no matter how big it is.

nazerath Turbocharged October 23, 2015 Share October 23, 2015 i got a battery that is dated four years old. The voltage is fine but i was told by a to change it due to the age. I asked for it to be tested but i didnt see him do a Cold crank amp test. just a voltage test. I hate to replace a good working batt unnecessarily and hate it more to give it to em over nothing. advise? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to replace a good working batt unnecessarily and hate it more to give it to em over nothing. advise? should be a load test. so what did the meter say? every battery is at 12v or more without load. if you load it and the voltage drops too much then its time to replace. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting engine and change battery is a bad idea. Bcuz the moment, you pull the terminal off a battery, the alternator winding send a voltage surge up to 50V or higher around the car electrical. You might just fried your ECU for nothing. The battery is a "voltage stabilizer" if you will. Any surge and spikes in voltage is sink inside the battery harmlessly. It's better to lose setting than a potential damage. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinceng Turbocharged October 23, 2015 Share October 23, 2015 (edited) Search 'Your Car Battery Guru' in Facebook. The price of their AMARON battery is at least $20 cheaper than TPY Cinema store. Edited October 23, 2015 by Vinceng Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achtung 6th Gear December 14, 2015 Share December 14, 2015 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! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
