Can anyone pls advise me which brand of batt water is better?? How often should the water be top up??
-
Did it on Friday night actually at one of the most unusual places...... in a shopping centre basement carpark.....lol...... [laugh] The whole process took over 3hrs. Started work at around 8pm and finish around 11.20pm..... Sorry I didn't take any pics... The main benefit is improved battery lifespan. Its known that engine bay heat does shorten the lifespan of a battery (just google around). Since engine bay temp is easily 60-70C, putting it in the trunk will reduce temp by well over 20-30C. Hence battery will last longer. Another benefit is perhaps improved weight distribution. No idea about this though. But I think Satria Neo is front heavy since engine and gearbox is in the front. Putting battery Behind will help to reduce ~15KG from the front and add another 15KG to the back. OVerall, there is a 30KG change in weight distribution. Quite alot if you ask me. Hence those Satria Neo owners may want to relocate their batt to the rear. Not a difficult task but time consuming. Need to take out seats. part of the carpet etc.....

I am surprised that just a battery is enough change the handling characteristics of the car. Previously, I will get understeer while turning right (tyre screeching and sliding marks visible on front left tyre). The batt is originally located on the left side of the car. I shifted it to the trunk and doing just that alone improves the handling. Tyres no longer screech as the same cornering speed. It does not improve tremendously, but I am able to get around 5-6KM/H more. Not a bad thing. If you are facing understeering problems with 1 side of the car, then you might want to consider relocating your batt.

Sharing a deal here. Was attracted to the price until I saw the fine print, ONLY for 40ah batteries! http://deal.outlet.com.sg/thedeal/view/ind...arwarranty.html Think Honda Jazz uses 40Ah is it?? Not sure. But its really for smaller cars. And at $69, maybe only abt $10-20 cheaper than wat u can get from outside for 40Ah Amaron batteries.

Maybe i'm mountain tortoise...but is there really some power mama car batt that's at that pricing? $600++?? Asking this becuz this morning my friend was telling me his boss just replace the batt for his 7-series and it cost $600++. And it was not the normal car batt... The replacement was done at PM after some standard servicing. i do expect some mark-up on price, but $600++? Really got such thing?

Hi Bros, How to we know that our car batt is about to konk out? Other than car cannot start, what other "clues" can our car give us even before the engine totally cannot start? And what grade batteries are lancer ex using?
-
I am just thinking that since car batt prices are pretty closed, might as install a higher capacity one. Eg. My car needs a 48AH batt but I install a 60AH one.

hey bros.... my previous car had this 'icing' problem... funny thing it was fine all along... until one fine day when i.... sometime ago... i parked overnight at a frd's plc and didnt start the car for more than 24hrs... no big deal right?... but couldnt crank at all the following 24hrs... funny... probably alternator weak or dying (coe car)... anyways AA came over and i got a Green Amaron Batt.... all was fine afterwards... car was great... got a voltage meter and made sure my alternator was fine... watever the case my batt was fine for another year... i had a pivot blue VS and a little spark enhancer too... ALL NO PROBLEM... till one fine day i had just enjoyed my favourite katong laksa and the sunny asked me for help to jump start his car... wasnt a chio bu but a middle aged man who was helpless cause nobody helped him... had a galfrd with me so wanna act helpful... haha... i connected the cables... he started his car and thanked me and i drove off.... the next few days i realised there were 'icing' on my terminals... never had them before... could it be the jump start that caused it... my batt died the following month... it had lived approx 1.5 years... i had to get another batt to scrap the car so i picked one up from my regular WS... got an abandoned for 6months plus panasonic MF batt and it worked fine... WOW.... my mech said Amaron batts had a tendency to get icing on the terminals... true? the present car i'm driving has a Green Amaron Batt now at almost 2years and it still seems fine... dying soon maybe but no signs watsoever... hmmm... i wanna go up north next week so wanna get a new batt... So is Amaron really good or not? wanna get a new batt now but want a good one that last.... suggestions much appreciated...

ok, im driving a latio and just collected my car from workshop (due to accident..) a few days ago... so far, no weird sounds and everything seems perfectly done except for one weird phenomenon..... even with me on driver seat, and engine started and started driving, the "Key" signal will blink for around 10seconds and then gone... if no key detected, it's "red" and i cant start the engine but for this weird situation, key is detected and i can start engine and drive but the green lighted "key" sign will blink blink blink.... in fact, it seems no harm but it doesn't hapen this way before... is this the sign of weakening battery??..... come to think of it, 2yrs+ is about time to change the batt...

Yesterday, my car battery decided to retire for good. Checked the markings and found out that I bought it only last May. That's slightly more than one year ago. Anyway, as info for all bros, this short-lived maintenance-free batt is from Yuasa. Got it for around $85, as my Pica uses a very small batt. As replacement, I got an Amaron maintenance-free batt from Stamford for $120. Keeping my fingers crossed that it will last longer than the previous batt.
