Mod super caps lor. Never need to change for many years. Only drawback, super caps are expensive. Easily RM 700+ but then again, long-lasting if always drive.

Use 500f super capacitors as battery. Need 6 pieces together with balance board.

Battery died while driving but engine still running right?

Battery only needed to start the engine the rest is alternator jobs.

Or I am wrong?

QUESTION : Is it advisable to top up Maintenance Free Battery with distilled battery water πŸ’¦ ?

Sorry, I don't recall reading anything about this.

Strange isn't it ? All previous posts that I've read suggest that vehicles can operate normally by removing the battery after it has been started. Under these circumstance especially the 2nd case shows otherwise ! Hmmm

Alternator voltage regulator will need some time to respond when there's a spike. Sometimes devices/equipment in the car draw more power than usual and the regulator couldn't respond fast enough hence the car die without battery support.

I think you've hit the nail on the head with that one.

Hence the importance of having battery as a secondary source of power, without which the vehicle will definately come to an abrupt halt, even if the alternator is in excellent working condition.

Received my spiral agm battery ordered from China and have it installed. So far so good. The terminal is a bit smaller compared with what we have here though. I'm running out of copper tape so I use aluminum foil to wrap up the terminal.

Finally now I know what a Spiral AGM Batt looks like.

I suppose it must be of a good quality, otherwise you wouldn't be incurring all the extra costs just to bring it in. How much does the entire operation cost ?

What the lifespan of Spiral AGM batteries anyway ?

The Multimeter shows readings of 13.09 & 14.56 Volts, isn't that a bit too high and would that interfere with electronics ?

Never thought I will say this ever, after reading so many negatives about Century Marathoner MF Battery, but now in my hands is this Marathoner that was purchased in 12/11/2016, which makes that 2 years & 4 months.

It has been charged up & hopefully it will remain that way until tomorrow morning for another test. Hoping to put this back into service ASAP. Surely the owner is at the edge of her seat too awaiting her battery's return. LOL

I can't conclude the quality yet but what I can say it is a true maintenance free battery where there is no liquid involved unlike those so called maintenance free battery found in the market. No need to worry about spill. No sound at all when I was trying to shake the battery, pretty solid.

The higher voltage does not really worry me. It just 0.2 V more than normal battery. Basically most of the sensitive electronic in your car would lower down the voltage to requirement.

It is said that spiral agm charge faster than normal battery and I think that holds true. I deliberately have the battery discharge for hours, start the car, and voltage back to normal in just minutes (voltage does not mean charges it hold but it can be used as indicator though)

True maintenance battery is without liquid?
Then its called dry cell battery like those AA, AAA, and D size right?
Are you referring to this kind of battery?
