Hi,

How abt other RON97 from caltex , bhp n petron ?

for caltex i saw some of the owner in the forum said that it is quite different from ron95 too,
not sure about bhp and petron but for petronas ron97,i did saw some owner post that it feel like more worst than ron95

dunno la bro how long it will last...i heard MF performance max 2 years..even the warranty only 1 year (or is it 6months? dun remember)
to me as long as don't have problem starting your car (for example after a short drive) i still consider ok..haha

my car 4 years oredi..and have change battery twice about 1.5 years usage each. dunno la i got cheated or what. but the second time i change is really due to problem starting my car. have to jump start

i dun remember the first two brand..the latest one is panasonic..so far still ok..1 year plus...but yesterday machiam ada prob sket masa start. one time only...i hope

If you don't want to be stranded unexpectedly, best to replace your battery after 1.5 years. Our small NS40Z battery may not last more than 2 years on average.

Agreed with you.
My city original battery last for 18 months only.
Suddenly batt dead without any signal in office, force to jump start and get a new battery

I had that issue as well. Any idea if I change it myself will it void any warranty. Was kinda late to change at sc as I saw quite some already packing up their stuff

Jz went to my usual shop to ask for battery...
Century marathon @ Rm175,trade-in minus Rm15...
So is Rm160,price ok?

yup, u got it murah..

Honda now recommends owners to use Panasonic batteries as it has a higher cold crank amphere (CCA) than Century Marathoner. This might help for user facing hard to start the engine.

If you insist on Century batteries.. Get the Ultramax.. It has a higher CCA than Panasonic

How much for it if change from honda??

Is it void warranty if change outside shop??

But CS will check for us right every time we go for service

Honda charges RM199 for the Panasonic battery. I don't think they will void your warranty if you change your battery outside.

My 16 month old city already having some difficulty starting. does changing the battery help?

It will not help if the problem comes from the starter motor.

I do realize my city starting sound is different compared to my colleague's city

Jus back from servicing my car. Honda checked my battery and found its 100% capacity. They refuse to troubleshoot further and ask me to remove my voltage stabilizer and monitor whether the car cannot start.

Confirm its your starter problem. A lot of City faces cranking issue. In fact, I myself faced this issue when the car was about a year old. Honda subsequently issue a Product Update Program to affected batch (mine included) to replace the starter motor.

After replacing it, I've never once encounter problem starting my car.

how the symptom like? if 'tak tak' sound is battery problem/weak..

I got the same problem occasionally.

1. Start car
2. Drive for 5 min
3. Turn off engine
4. Turn key to restart engine.. silence. Not even 'tak tak'
5. The starter motor will take 1 or 2 sec before it tries to start.

Thought it was the battery, but after changing battery still having the problem. I guess must be the starter motor. But very hard to replicate when at service center.

If you replace the starter motor to DENSO, guarantee you won't face the problem again.
