I've bought my 1.6 SX in july 2010..but haven't change the battery ever yet..

Its been 2 1/2 years since the day one..I just wonder, how long can the battery last? Any specific expiry date for the car battery to dry out? afraid..its gonna kong anytime soon? die la..or its time for me to change the battery?

any advice from you guys?

You said you use battery indicator..is it a tool? Where can i get this battery indicator thigy anyway?

Just wonder have someone here haven't change the car battery for 3 years or more? is it can last long up to 3 years or more?

Maybe someone from first batch can answer this? have you guys (1st batch forte owner) change the battery yet? how long it take from day 1 until the battery change?
because its been 2 1/2 years for me..I just want to get prepared before anything happen..

Or maybe its time for me to change the battery? can someone advice?

Thanks in advance...

Hi Izputra,

How did you notice the battery is already kaput? what are the sypthoms you have face during that time? can you share your thought?

The company invested RM4mil to upgrade the Setapak outlet to a 4S outlet...

Naza Kia's Setapak 4S centre <----

But... No alignment and balancing equipment/facilities are available there..
So many times go there for service..already told and ask about this and they said..send outside..How come?

There is no point to invested RM4mil to upgrade naza kia Setapak to become 4S..IF those equipments are not available at their place..its a basic needs for customers to come for servicing sometime want to do alignment and balancing osso..

so customer dont have to waste time to go to 2 different places.. do service go to SC..when we ask to do alignment/balancing they told you to go outside..you get what I mean?

I dont know whether the upgrading already completed or not..
but..last Friday..I go there for 70K service..I ask to do alignment and balancing together..but the guy at the caunter told me to do outside.. frankly said they have the equipments but not install it yet...according by that guy..

to be surprise I've been asking this since my 20K, 30K, 40K, 50K, 60K services..i spoke to myself..how can this be..hmm..

last Friday also I've ask them to check for the car batery..and suprisingly they want to charge me RM80 just to printing out the result from the batery checking tool..is it standard?? have someone here facing same situation as mine too?
