I think there are at least 2 types of Varta:

1. The ones that came original with MB, has a label Made in Germany - Good

2. All others without any label of its origin. Questionable where it's made in - Average/Poor

 

Just like buying tyres, the same brand tyre usually has much better quality made in Europe, than made in Thailand.

Lesson learnt. Glad you have moved on.

 

I recommend Leong Seng the next time u want battery change. But make sure you are around so that they use a backup battery.

Bros and Sis,

 

My ride suddenly could not start today for no apparent reason.. bo pian.. Jump start then went to change battery.. I was quoted $230 for the battery shown below.. Since I really no choice as I was rushing , I agreed.. Just curious.. Is it worth the $$ I paid?

P.S Cant embed the image.. Dont know why..

 

Aiyah LL in that kind of situation. Got the same batt put in two weeks ago myself. Batt + call out fee + change of terminal (it was in quite bad shape as the old one leaked) for $205 (or was it $215??) from one of our sponsors. You got a little chopped lah, but don't brood since it already done. Just don't go change batt from this guy again [:p][laugh]
