Technically it’s maintenance free, but it gives option to top up water. If can, Every half a year check water level and if the water is below the plate, top up water and this will prolong the life. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I check with you if those battery water sold at petrol station, $2 for 1L type, are actually distilled water? or get those drinkable distilled water to top up?

Albeniz Turbocharged November 30, 2020 Share November 30, 2020 (edited) Based on my old information, for tyres, I go to Soh Brothers at AMK. Is this still a good place now? For batteries, which workshop do you go to for good deals? Oh yes, where is your go-to workshop for engine oil change?

BTW, anyone knows how many different types of batts are commonly used by cars here? Traditional lead-antimony battery - needs to top up water regularly. They failed usually when the owners neglect (lazy) to top up. The top of the plates are exposed, oxidized and failed. Lead-calcium battery - has reduced water consumption, and so are called maintenance-free battery. Usually used until died, no maintenance needed EFB or enhanced flooded cell - Newer, with thicker lead-plates to support stop-start engine. AGM or absorbed glass mat - starved electrolyte or electrolyte absorbed into the fibreglass mat, so you don't see "water". Sometimes called dry cell erroneously. Dimension, size and AH capacity is another story. They generally conformed to 2 standards either, Japanese JIS or European DIN. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
