New_Atlantis 3rd Gear September 23, 2010 Share September 23, 2010 Hi Guys, i Just had my battery change @ Nam Wah. I would advise others here to inspect their installation. their guys are NOT experianced in swapping batteries, they dont have a mechanic to install the batt. Think they are just workers in the warehouse. I saw them struggling with the job, and went for a smoke. Luckly i inspected after the job, one small push and the batt came loose from the housing! WTF! I had to get my hands dirty and DIY. had to reset my Radio also. 1/10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sxrolet 1st Gear September 28, 2010 Share September 28, 2010 Me just changed to Amaron for my FD2 at Leong Seng 3 weeks ago, cost me $120. I did not have time to go around compare prices, but think should be reasonable price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MG_Myvi 1st Gear November 19, 2011 Share November 19, 2011 why amaron? what about varta or bosch? From what I heard from couple of workshops....Amaron seems to have certain issues in recent years...which touch-wood...I don't encounter any to-date. Most people recommend me to go for Bosch. I will try Bosch when due for change next round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donut Supercharged November 20, 2011 Share November 20, 2011 bro u know which workshop carry bosch battery with reasonable price? Bro, stick to Amaron batt, u won't go wrong. From my own experience, Amaron never fails me. When I was replacing my old Amaron with new Amaron batt at one workshop, another driver who was waiting for the guy to install a new Bosch batt in his car, came up to me and ask abt amaron. I just told him my old Amaron batt lasts me 3 long years and still going strong. He straight away say he regretted installing bosch batt. LOL, but too late liao, the guy is already fixing the Bosch in his car. Anyway, Arrow tyres has Bosch and Amaron. That's where this incident happened.

Bbaroom Neutral Newbie January 30, 2012 Share January 30, 2012 Never go to Ubi Kim Hoe.. Black shop selling recycle battery at new batt price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acieed 1st Gear January 30, 2012 Share January 30, 2012 How many years do you get from Amaron so far ? Maintenance batteries I used in the U.S. lasted at least 5-6 years and workshops do not recommend replacing them anytime earlier. But in Singapore it seems no battery lasts more than 2-3 years. What's so different about Singapore batteries ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acieed 1st Gear January 30, 2012 Share January 30, 2012 Good point. Some people said frequent traffic jam and start-stop also affects battery life. But 2-3 years and 5-6 years is quite a big difference. Heat kills. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maintenance batteries I used in the U.S. lasted at least 5-6 years and workshops do not recommend replacing them anytime earlier. But in Singapore it seems no battery lasts more than 2-3 years. What's so different about Singapore batteries ? In US, they have north and south batteries. When you're living in the north, you tend to get up to 8 yrs for your battery. When you're living in the south, like Texas and Florida, you get around 2 yrs. Yes, heat kills. Same as your small rechargeable AA batteries. If you charge at low current, low heat, but long hours, it last longer. Most charger go for fast charge, heats up the battery and it doesn't last as long. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
