Might anyone have any feedback on the general lifespan of Incoe batteries ?
I know of course that the lifespan of batteries can be quite subjective, but
just wanted an idea.

I've been using mine for exactly one and a half years and was wondering
how much longer it might last. I have an NS60-L, non-maintenace free, in a
Proton Iswara 1.3. Hoping to use it as long as I can, as batteries don't come
cheap these days.

I remember reading one of the Filipino car forums and one guy said his
standard non-MF Incoe NS60 was still going strong after four years !

Incoe is supposed to be a Japanese brand, made in Indonesia. I think their
NS60 have 11 plates, but some say only 9.

Mine still starts fairly strong in the mornings, and doesn't need much of a
topping up, maybe 5 mm per cell a month.

Like yu yrself said, this value is VERY subjective....

Batt life varies from less than a year to probably more than even 4 years!!

Many factors are involved. Long story...pls Google for such info.

I expected a far more informed (and constructive) answer.

Obviously I had already Googled for it extensively before asking this here
(I am quite thorough when it comes to researching for infomation, including
the small print - I use Medline for medical studies extensively) - common sense
would dictate that - I do not require you to instruct me on that.

I dont know bout INCOE, but i can advise on YOKOHAMA wet batt.

Mine, lasted almost 3 years.. After that i change to some cap ayam, lasted 1 year + only.. Now back to yoko, already 1 1/2 years.. still feels good! Hope to reach that 3 years barrier

* Top up the batt water regularly.. Every month..

I am using it since 2011, almost 2 years, quite reliable for me.

because of the lacking info on this battery....


i'll reply this old thread for the sake of adding information....


been using INCOE NS60L battery for record time which is about 4years...

and that with battery size used is UNDERSIZED... (my oem battery size in the car is 55D23L)

plus i've accidentally left the cabin lights on whole night not ONCE... not TWICE... but quite a lot of time it drained the battery out....


i've just recharged the battery back and they were perfect again... untill recently...

it was officially dead (not holding charge overnight)....

so thats it... NS60L MF INCOE battery last for about 4 years...(May 2013- August 2017)



now i'm running oem size 55D23L AMARON PRO battery...

MF batteries lifespan will shorter for turbo cars. Reason because the engine bay damn hot. I relocated the battery on my VR4 to the boot. Using Yokohama MF. 5 years and still going strong. Only start on weekends.

Nice info bro, but Incoe is not common in Malaysia market ya. I was actually also looking for this brand but cannot find yet who's selling them.

Which Yokohama is this? I just finished my Yokohama MF (the older black one) in my wife's Livina, lasted around 3 yrs if not mistaken.

FOUR YEARS is an extremely long lifespan for a battery these days,
moreover maintenance free, which usually lasts shorter than normal types.


MF batteries typically lasts about two years, two and a half at most.

I've just changed over to a normal Incoe NS60L a few weeks ago.

Bought at AME Auto at Sea Park for $ 170. Batteries don't come cheap
these days.

random seller/shop last time... but nowadays didnt bother to buy the same...

because bateriku.com offer on site battery replacement without extra cost....

yeah... but that came with extra carefull maintenance like trickle charging it at home when not used for long time....

plus water topup during last year after i've drained the battery charge accidentally so many time....

Next time I'll try that batteriku.com

Trickle charge ?

You mean you bought an electronic battery charger to use at home.

yeap... i do have small 12v battery charger at home....

not newly bought... but been using it for long time since i regularly need to charge battery for my race bike and other purpose....

so manually charging car battery at home is nothing new for me...

Wau. Guess i got the lemon unit.
My Incoe ns60L Mf died after 1 year 6 months.

Certified dead later because brought it to electrical shop and he said something wrong inside the battery coz its not producing enough power.

That is bad.

Incoe is supposed to be a quite reliable.

It's a Japanese brand made in Indonesia.

I don't know about the MF type, but the normal top-up ones
usually lasts close to two years.

Better go for these types in future.

I'm using MF Incoe. Size NS70, for my Proton Satria 1.6 (original spec is NS60 only).

Install date, March 2018.

Still using it today, but last week it's dying. Can't hold 1 week without start the car. So, I can said, it lasting for 3 year 9 month with milleage 60,000km.

Car usage. Mostly use on weekend only for balik kampung, and sometimes go outstation from Klang Valley to Johor / Kedah / Terengganu.

There were times, I forgot to switch off my lamp inside the car for whole night, but at the morning I still can start the car without problem. I think that's the advantage use bigger battery.

That is very good.

Welcome to the club
My ex-Incoe non MF just died , after serving me for like 3 years and 4 months.
Installed on July 2018.
At least yours is a slow death, which means going to die in a month's time.

Using NS70 (or known as 65d26L) on my Exora. Original spec was 55d23L which is abit smaller than Ns70L.

I recommend that you have a battery charger , so that you can charge the battery without starting the engine (which usually further stress the already weak battery) .

Now my new replacement : Recond "Amaron" NS70L battery, comes with 1 year warranty.
