I don't know much about electrical, so the terms I use here might not be correct but just to illustrate on what I learn from mechanics.
If our Alza needs 1000mAh each time we turn on the car engine, and the battery we use is just 1100mAh, then the battery lifespan will be very short. Because we have only 100mAh buffer. So if we turn on the aircon to full one day, charge something, or for whatever reasons used very close to 1100mAh, it kind of reduces the battery's lifespan.
But, if we put in a 1300mAh battery, then we hardly strain/stress the battery since we cannot reach the limit. The 300mAh buffer is more than sufficient to cover all our needs. Hence, the battery will last longer.
However, the issue is different battery capacity has different sizes. I don't know what size can fit into our Alza.

But the thing is, only sometimes I hit until 3000rpm going uphill. Most of the time on 2000rpm only. I cannot figure out why my mileage so low.
Might be you need to try other petrol?

How you guys measure...? Refill to refill...? How much of range left...?
Me average 420km city drive if range down to about 100km, and I don't think it will go for another 100km. I've tried asking P2 guys to see how far can they go, they don't even know... My max was 463km...
Anyway, just came back from service, my car tak jadi masuk kilang coz no replacement car for me. Have to wait until they're available...

Damn sien lar see this piece of trash. Everytime have to take leave, waste time go service center and show them all the problems.
is rite this
When u pump full oledi, reset the meter and run. On the second pump, use the mileage and divide with petrol you just pump. E.g. Ur mileage recorded for the first pump is 400km. On second pump you fill 35 litre. Use this 400km divide by 35 litre and times 42 litre. Why? Becoz you just use this 35 litre to run 400km. Times 42 litre shall be the full tank petrol consumption.
