12V battery is used to start the engine in conventional car. It is used once per trip normally. In PC, the engine is started multiple time with EV on and off. So my questions are:
1. In PC, 12V battery tear and wear more than those conventional car?
2. How often 12V battery need to be changed?
3. If PC 144V battery full or half, but 12V battery is drained, can we still start the car? or can run it in EV mode only?

RM347,470).
For comparison, latest Mercedes E200 in Malaysia sold at the price of RM363,060 (extra RM15,950 only); 86 in Singapore sold at the price SGD 185,988 (extra SGD47,000 only).
Are the Singaporean PC owner crazy or what?

The 12volt battery only used to power up the ecu which in PC I think got about 20 . In the states their 12volt last more than 5 years . At here don't know yet but got 1 owner needed to change after 1 year due to low volt reading according to the SC but the owner didn't get any error or unable to start his car . It was advised by SC to change before it unable to start

Happy New Year, PC members!!!
Btw Keanutan, May i know did u modify your rim? or in what situation u reach 185? down hill?
Added on January 1, 2013, 2:48 amNot advisable because i feel the engine oil used before first service is just for you to use for a while. After i used for some time i here some clanking sound from engine. not so good to engine.
