wat kind of battery is better for ICE? dry cell? MF? lead-acid water type?

me using NS70 normal batteries... tried MF batteries... didnt notice any difference but it died jus after 8 months... my current battery already 8 months still running ok...

oh ya... my alternator specialist said tht the best batteries (unless you are going for real db Drag of the sorts) are the normal lead-acid water type... because its durable compared to MF, dry cell... and the more important thing about charging system is your alternator, not expensive batteries...

cheers...

if ur ice setup is not a hardcore want,just stick with the water type battery..mine now almost 3 years..12' woofer, 2 amp 4 component 5" speaker, monitor n vcd player..no prob until now

Optima batteries!

i just use normal batery. 2 of them .

Any changes required on the charging system to support 2 batteries?

if u wanna enhance the battery life.. i think u can try using pivot vs.. cz my car's OEM battery last more than 2 yrs (tat is until now) n still running strong.. i blif tat might b a fact.. hehe

Now My car running with the MF NS60 drycell...

me? just replace the stock batt ns40 to bigger capacity which is the ns60.

reason? cuz my stock ns40 died yesterday and was advise to go for ns60 for better capacity

izit...but it must go 2gether wit alternator as well

Just go for a the biggest lead-acid battery you can fit within your engine bay without much mods. The problem with dry-cells are that they are vulnerable to extreme heat which reduces their performance especially within our local climate, so don't waste money on them & just buy the normal Yokohama. If your car's battery is not located within the engine bay than it's okay as we have seen BMW & Mec's having dry cells which last in excess of 3 years in the rear trunk of below rear-seat. But than again lead acid ones also double their life span if away from the hot engine compartment.
