My regular spart parts shop tells me that Bosch warranty claim is a pain in the a$$. Most don't carry because returning would mean retesting of the battery la, if nothing wrong cannot claim la, etc etc

I'm currently using both Century Marathoner and Yokohama on my cars. Both batteries cannot last being left on my Mark x for a week idle even though on my Livina they both can still have enough charge to start. So every time I go overseas for a week or more, I will always need to switch batteries between the 2 cars to start my Mark X. Any idea of a stronger battery?

Panasonic for life!

How is the price compared to Century or Yokohama and is it stronger?

Oh! probably that why don't see them around.
Most of the batteries I use last from 18 to 30 months, so did not claim before until I tried Century Ultramax which give 21 months warranty. This one died just before 21 months so the shop gave me another Century battery but the other model the Marathoner. No questions asked, plug his battery tester on, show low power, gave me another battery......lol

21 months is so short leh! I'd expect a battery to last >24 mths. Anything below 24 mths I consider them crap battery already.

 

[vr2turbo]

Other batteries warranty only 12 months.....lol

Ya but aside from warranty, your Ultramax really died before 21 mths so that's not good. My first batteries on both my cars lasted more than 2 yrs (>3yrs on the Livina and 2.5yrs on the Mark X). My batteries now is also already >2yrs and even that I'm still not so satisfied as both cannot last in my X for a week idle. I want to find something that can store their charge longer so can last a week idle in my X.

You need those deep cycle cells, like Optima. Most likely something in your Mark X is sipping power while its stationary.

Optima Yellow Top D34 12V 55ah fitted well in Kia Forte..
Enquiry contact: 016-769 8811

I also curious how much is it. Go ask.

The other brand that's being raved about is Amaron, but its nothing special, don't think its very different from normal ones.

My suspicion are my security systems (alarm & immobilizer).

Optima must be expensive leh surely at least more than double the price of normal ones. Some also mentioned Amaron got good cold cranking amp in the Mark X FB club but that's also like double the price of normal ones.

Actually lucky it died just before 21 months, so I got a new battery. If died just after 21 months, got to buy new battery......lol

Very little is cheaper than Century. Panasonic is one of the higher priced ones, NS60 for example friend friend price (got a friend working in Eneos) is still RM220. But that's for the lower current one. There's a higher current version which is marginally more expensive. Something like RM250 or something.

Yes, Panasonic 1 size has 2 different power outputs. You probably wanna have a look at those.

Optima Yellows these days brand new sell for 600 and above depending on size. But they last forever. Like minimum 5 years forever. So cost effectiveness is pretty good. But you gotta make sure you're not boiling the battery with your turbo or manifold. Any battery exposed to that much heat will fail prematurely. If you compare your battery with those in the boot like those found in BMW, those with boot batteries last much longer, no heat!

My budget is only around rm250-300 tops, don't want to spend more than that on batteries. I'll look for the Panasonic next time around then.

Pana is more expensive as for RM220 can get NS70 already.
Different output nowadays could be different model name. Those days they were either N40, N40Z or NS60 have different ampere and CCA

Your budget can get NS70 size if that is the size you are using......

I cannot use NS70 coz my terminals are the small type! So can only use NS60L, sigh...
Maybe that's why also not enough juice to start after 1 week idle.
