just got myself a replacement for the varta which only last less than 2 year. trying now the  century continental sdfc. rated high cca and Amp than normal battery. even tested on my own. CCA was 500++ for a NS60LS size. RC is 73 minutes. quite longer than average battery of this size

Maybe that's not what SKYJack actually had in mind. Would appreciate if SKYJack reaffirms this.

Now I am really curious, what small screw is it that you use and how was it use ?

It just connect to the battery, turn counter clockwise, it disconnect the battery. Can leave the car for 2 weeks.
Turn clockwise, it connect the battery. Can start the engine immediately, no need to jump start.

Now I understand what you meant. If only someone created something similar to that of the switch, life would be so much simpler. LOL

Varta, come with the car. 5.5 years 110k km still running strong.

He may be right,as its cost effevtive to change every 2years. I was merely suggesting battery technology has improved! Options are available.

Plenty of those in Lazada, it's just a simple mechanism, very cheap also

Varta 90ah come from manufacturer (German Made) can last for 6 year for my BMW but after changed another Varta 95ah (bought locally) can last just 2yrs++
what can i say, the new battery just last one or max 2++ yrs only

You mean that metal plate?
That's what some mechanics put to increase the terminal diameter so that the connector can fit tightly.
I'm not sure if they affect the flow of electricity leading to less voltage flowing to batt during charging.

Luckily you informed me that it was the work of the mechanics as I thought that this was the work of the manufacturer. LOL

Battery post are almost round in shape. And so are the terminal connectors too. So that the both of them makes full contact.

Whatever prompted that additional piece to be added to the battery post is really a weird one.

During the recent school holidays, I had the opportunity to drive the latest Innova. Pretty amazed with it for a slow driver like me.

Curiosity got the better of me and I just had to find out what battery was in it. When I popped the hood, that battery had NO BRAMD NAME at all !!! This was the only sticker that was on it....



Who knows for sure, maybe the battery manufacturer didn't want others to know who they were OR ....

Googled that 360LN2-MF and Panasonic pops up more often than other brands.

I'm not sure how modern connectors look nowadays but my old car due to wear and tear, heat or corrosion the original connectors have become too large in diameter to hug the battery terminal tightly even after the screw is tightened, the mechanics inserter that plate and hammered it in after the connector are screwed. Without the plates I can lift the connectors with my finger and it will just come off the battery terminals. Maybe you can see if your connectors are the same?

Of course that's good news. Anything that bring down the cost for the rakyat is always good news. However it must never be at the expense of quality. There's always a trade of.

Then again the only way to really bring down costs is to improve the currency's exchange rate. Now that will surely bring about general improvement in quality standard. But economics is for some other day.

Now we have the Camel brand, I've also seen a Cheetah brand as well. They must obviously like animals.

I am a slow learner and I don't jump for every new brand that hits the market. Kiasu & Kiasi lol

Out of curiosity, has Camel released its warranty period, technical specifications & pricing already on its models ?

Maybe you want to measure the charging (output) voltage of the innova's alternator for your reference, since you have several toold to do so in your arsenal?

Both cold and hot reading.

For certain models, it will be 18-month warranty.
Namely
Ns40
Ns60
80d23L

Din series still 1 year warranty.
Pricing wise is very competitive. Just sold a DIN100 agm for Rm800
