I wonder what will happen when the battery is removed from car after cranking it up for an extended drive ?

It's perplexing isn't it ? Why is it that certain models of other brands even has better Warranty Period than Varta's despite its legendary reputation.

Varta Black, confirmed made in South Korea (Delkor plant). 2 years (46B24L) kinda good already if you ask me

I would say for Honda CR-V, its better to put in 50B24L or 55B24L. Should last longer on paper

I question Varta salesman before.
Coz GP told us Varta/Delkor/GP all from the same production plant in South Korea, then the Varta salesman claim that Varta batteries using better technology as oppose to GP/Delkor/Energizer, and I asked why the warranty period remain 12 months? He kept quiet.

Johnson Controls own Varta/Delkor/Energiser, OEM for GP. JV partner of Amaron

There are no Blue/Black Dynamic from Varta till Johnson Controls bought them over. Then everyone gila want Varta (they thought everything made in Germany......)

I wanted to get this as the price is really attractive. However, it's from China and it's still new in the market. Rather spend a bit more to be safe as the battery is the only thing that connects and supplies electricity to the vehicle.

In the end, I got myself a Banner - Running Bull.

You've hit the nail of the head with that salesman. 😂

I don't think Johnson Control ever bought over Varta the company. Johnson Controls only bought the exclusive rights to produce Varta batteries from Varta for these parts of the world.

Yes. I agreed.
Camel is very new in Malaysia, 39 years in China.
One of my friends, choose FIAMM over Camel. RM900 vs RM600
He said made in China cannot use

I ordered the Camel 80D23L (18 months warranty) to replace the dying Varta 55D23L (2 years), let see how it goes.

Oops I am really sorry for my mistake. I thought I was so sure that even my German friend was extremely proud about Vartas reputation.

Wait a minute, something doesn't smell right with this. Just like the JV partnership between DRB & Geely on Proton. Despite Geely being the minority shareholder but they're acting like the biggest shareholder.

As for the Warranty Period with Varta being only 1 year, that too smells fishy. Something isn't right somewhere.

Is Camel company a wholly owned foreign direct investment or owned by locals or a mixture of shareholdings ?

Should be FDI. Not sure of the Malaysia Sdn Bhd shareholder structure.

Those are some impressive figures, I must say.

Back with that kind of cold hard cash, looks like the Chinese are going to change how battery business is done around here.

It's either the competition pulls up their socks and match whatever the Chinese are giving or they will fold. It's only a matter of time.

DIN60 AGM jual berapa bos?

Lead acid battery is not some super high tech precision manufacturing level. Not to say that batteries are easy to manufacture, but the construction and chemistry is pretty similar across brands.

yes I think I notice it the marking got south korea...johnson control etc. I'm expecting it to hit 3 years at least like my last Delkor close to 4 years

4 years..it depends how the owner/user use it

Hi what is difference between motolite classics and the normal motolite?

For me, I'd rather be safe in trusted brands rather than unknown brands. After all, it's fitted to a vehicle that cost probably at least 100x more than the battery itself.
