RM317 only...? You must have had a heck lots of Shopee vouchers...  brows.gif

Mind sharing the link on Shopee...?
*
Not really, I use 3,000 coins tongue.gif

1. In shopee app, search for Carbatterydelivery.com (Shopee Mall) 4.9 stars.
2. Then search for Q85, click 'Watch" on the LIVE video (must buy during live for cheaper price).
3. Click on the cart BUY NOW, select Trade In ---> BUY NOW
4. Under Shipping Option select 'Seller's own fleet' which is FOC.
5. To get more discounts, you can use COINS.

Note: If you didn't get a discount of RM115.73 at Platform Vouchers, then you would need to subscribe to Shopee VIP. Which is free for the first month, just cancel before it renews.

Hope it helps.

Hi guys, i need to replace my car's battery. Can recommend me a good q85 brand? Also, do we really need to reset the i-start function after replacing the battery or any car workshop can do it?

Been using Varta Q85 for 2 years, still alright ... Any car workshop can replace.

Thanks for your feedback! I'll just get one from Shopee, Mazda PJ branch just quoted me RM690 with 2 years warranty  sweat.gif

heck....so expensive, aeson sodium battery now priced lower with 3 year warranty....less than half the weight of a q85 but DOUBLE the CCA flex.gif

this was my reading after having it on after a month :

If a Q85 battery can die every year, doesn't the RM690 with a 2-year warranty battery make up for it as opposed to the RM460+ battery a year...? That is provided if these batteries only last a year or so...  sweat.gif

BTW, Mazda iStart/Stop function sucks or Q85 battery sucks, or both...?  hmm.gif

it is the whole concept of start/stop that sucks....not practical for our climate, as when start/stop activates, the aircond compressor stops, feel melting hot especially in the afternoon, hardly save meaningful amounts of petrol to be honest

the indirect benefit of this function is that, the starter motor and main crank journals/bearings are fortified to deal with more start/stop cycle...i just went to service my starter, the mechanic so surprised so little carbon powder in the enclosure, everything inside looks cantik even after 11+ years

I just ordered one from Shopee for RM317.17 with 1 year warranty, if it dies before it hits 2 years then yea i'll probably purchase from Mazda SC the next round.

For me, I don't use the i-stop function at all. I wish i could disable it permanently.

if you don't wish to buy a battery charger, every half a year, bring to the car battery shop and request for a full recharge service, some shop will even do it for you for free....their industrial type 12v charger are pretty good at reconditioning the battery

.....and just get the hang of turning it off when starting the engine, i did that for probably 10 years already...the most durable button in the car sweat.gif

1) Koni Special Active if got budget. Or Tein EnduraPro

2) Got budget then Michelin, can't go wrong with Primacy (for comfort) or Pilot Sport (for handling). More budget friendly option can consider Hankook, Continental, Good Year
