Depends on the brand as well.......

 

If you take a Panasonic Maintainace Free vs Penissonic Maintaninace Free....you think which will last longer leh ??

 

Brand does matter. I go for branded ones now as I realised that they do last longer. BTW.....I am using the Varta Blue Dynamic.....1 yrs on and still going strong. Normally my batt seldom last me for more than 1.5yrs.

 

The previous batt lasted almost 2 yrs....Panasonic that came with the car.

Im also using the Varta blue battery. It comes with one year membership that gives you free towing services from Singapore all the way up to Thailand. Quite a good deal I must say.......

I have been using Global. It's black in colour, looks quite cool. It is a relatively cheap maintenance free battery, less than $100.

 

Used it on my previous Daewoo Racer and another of my previous Ford Laser. The battery can last for quite a while. More than 1 year, that's for sure. Didn't get a chance to find out the battery's life as I sold the cars before the battery died.

Hope i'm not too late... maintenance free doesn't really means it got no liquid inside.... the fact is that u still need to top it up with some kind of liquid.....

 

That's what i've heard from my fren... who just got his supposing maintenance free car battery top up with liquid.......

[Koolaba]

Hi all,

 

I'm still using the stock Yuasa (wet type) that came with my B14. 3 yrs and 3 months. Still going strong.

 

My mech told me to observe the plates for any 'peeling' and whether the battery requires frequent top up. If these problems persist, it's time for change.

 

BTW any idea which shop to get batteries cheaply? Heard that AA has extended warranty for their batteries & change the batteries at your doorstep too. But dunno whether AA's pricing is competitive or not.

[Andrewkb]

In fact, on my maintenance free battery, there's a small window and a label.

 

If the window shows blue, it's ok.

If the window shows red, top up is needed.

 

So, I guess it still requires topping up rite :-P

[Madarmour]

Dunno about any shop that sells batteries cheaply buy I bought my Hoppecke through my friend whose price is cheaper than outside.
