Yuan 6th Gear September 14, 2013 Share September 14, 2013 agreed, safety first.. although they used to it, but there are still risks... I prefer those replace with a standby mini-battery I agree. Same here. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acewin 4th Gear September 14, 2013 Share September 14, 2013 About 4 months back I change battery same car as yours charge is $100 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuan 6th Gear September 14, 2013 Share September 14, 2013 Precisely, don't be penny wise pound foolish. If suay suay something happened to your ECU which cost thousand of dollars, do you think the shop will take responsibility? Maybe we can list down the shops that use backup power while changing battery - Guan Lee Tyre (change battery for 2 cars there), mr Tay automatically will use another battery to power the car thru' the 12V socket Good efforts to start off with the list. Nothing is more important than safety. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fcw75 Hypersonic September 15, 2013 Share September 15, 2013 Btw anyone roughly know normally a battery can last how long? Amaron, from my experience on different cars, definitely more than 2 years. Just change every 2 years and you are safe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fcw75 Hypersonic September 15, 2013 Share September 15, 2013 My Nissan Latio battery flat few days ago. Call up my insurance company and they despatch a mechanic. Bought a Amaron battery from him at $130. Think the price quite reasonable. It's reasonable if you factor in the transport cost. Else just change yr battery every 2 years. I change the battery for my friend's Latio for only $98 at Guan Lee Tyres. Besides the price, he also use a backup battery to power the car while changing the battery and I like to support this type of small biz where he do the job himself, not some ah tiongs.

I see, quite troublesome. The thing to connect the battery to the power socket is not expensive, don't know why so many shop can't be bothered with it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
