My regular spart parts shop tells me that Bosch warranty claim is a pain in the a$$. Most don't carry because returning would mean retesting of the battery la, if nothing wrong cannot claim la, etc etcSeldom see Bosch batteries. The spare parts shop and even tyre shops I go to, have not seen them there....
I used Bosch S5 last time.. sucks major balls man. Get century marathoner.
I'm currently using both Century Marathoner and Yokohama on my cars. Both batteries cannot last being left on my Mark x for a week idle even though on my Livina they both can still have enough charge to start. So every time I go overseas for a week or more, I will always need to switch batteries between the 2 cars to start my Mark X. Any idea of a stronger battery?Recently trying out yokohama.......
How is the price compared to Century or Yokohama and is it stronger?Panasonic for life!
Oh! probably that why don't see them around.My regular spart parts shop tells me that Bosch warranty claim is a pain in the a$$. Most don't carry because returning would mean retesting of the battery la, if nothing wrong cannot claim la, etc etc
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.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
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.Other batteries warranty only 12 months.....lol
You need those deep cycle cells, like Optima. Most likely something in your Mark X is sipping power while its stationary.I'm currently using both Century Marathoner and Yokohama on my cars.

My suspicion are my security systems (alarm & immobilizer).You need those deep cycle cells, like Optima. Most likely something in your Mark X is sipping power while its stationary.

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.
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......lolYa but aside from warranty, your Ultramax really died before 21 mths so that's not good.
