Technically 0-18 months warranty and above that with discount. And only comply to certain battery model, some are with 12 months warranty

This warranty is depends on what car model.

Last time changed to amaron din74 hi line for proton x70, max is 18 months warranty

Lucky me, Century Battery management never place such terms of warranty like car model and it's specific warranty period. Pelupa like me, susah liao banyak sangat information to remember.

The question is Amaron the only battery that has such terms, what about other battery brands ? Most importantly why ? What so special with the X70 to have such limitation ? X50 & X90 how ? Macam never ending la

Most likely due to the electronics system, my guess, most battery cannot last more than 20 months.

During the 5 years of driving x70, on average the battery died in the month of 15th or 16th

Wait a minute, when your X70 battery died, after the installation of a new battery, was the alternator ever tested to ensure that it was in working condition in the first place ?

My first experience with a CBU unit didn't go as I hope. The owner did the first battery replacement at the SC and afterwhich there was problem as the battery failed in a very short period. Then I was called in to investigate the issue. The battery was removed to be recharged and it behaved as expected. However when placed back into the vehicle, it drained again not long after. When the owner returned from overseas, we went to the SC to find out what was the issue. If I am not mistaken it's improper shutting down of system that led the system to continue operating after the vehicle was turned off, of course that led to the battery being drained. By then, the owner had made up her mind of wanting to try Amaron Battery. So thats that.

The following CBU unit was sold away by the owner, fellow church member. I didn't get a chance to monitor X70 at all. Reason selling it away was the gearbox began to experience difficulty in engaging, that's according to the owner who is a doctor.

The next was a CKD unit owned by a guy, who used until the battery died, then I was referred. Did the first battery replacement for his X70 but unfortunately for him, just 2 months later, his alternator had failed completely. Therefore no more battery warranty for his X70, until the charging system is fixed up properly and tested by yours truly for confirmation.

Finally lady owner, who allowed me to monitor her X70 from day one. I dunno whether it's CBU or CKD unit, but when she was informed to replace her weak battery, she decided to follow my advice. Since her charging system is in perfect condition, I expect her X70 battery to last. I hope to succeed with her X70 but not to count the chick before it hatch, do contact me again about this case in 3 years time, just to see if I had broke the duck with this X70 onot. Takut I lupa update pulak. The battery for this X70 under our care was installed on 15 Sept 2024. Let the countdown begin ....

Previously had bought this Century Low Maintenance Acid battery but due to some mistaken info, the battery brought had to be installed with it's "logo and fluid level" side facing inward so I measured the low fluid level line is around 1 inch below the separation border between the upper black battery panel (the filling wells) and the white plastic body, drew a line with marker and it seems that after half year the water fluid isn't really much difference than the first time I buy it. So the fluid doesn't depletion much is ok to not fill it but keep an eye on it every now and then right?
Model, Century Hybrid.

As long it's within those 2 lines, it's ok. Only when the water level drops below the lower line, then refill that รงell only.

UNBELIEVABLE

Wanted to post pictures from another phone where the pictures are loรงated but unfortunately cannot remember Lowyat password. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Anyway what is unbelievable is, I have never come across Proton cars without broken clips but yesterday was the first time, the X50 clips were all in perfect condition when removed. Best part is no clips were missing. Whichever Proton Service Center that had been servicing this X50 for almost 2 years now, well done for not breaking any of those clips.

Same feedback for x70 and x50, the plastic clips. Its cheap to buy the clips online like rm6-10 for 100pcs. But if u ask SC to replace it, it cost about rm4-5/pcs lol. Accessories shop at rm3/pcs for that plastic clips.

For many x70 owner I know are replace the clip, diy at home after back from SC.

Yes no doubt they are cheap plastic clips and breaks easily if not handled with care. That is why I was shocked to see that ALL the clips were is perfect condition after removing them. No doubt the highest quality clips would costs Rm10 per piece but despite being low quality and cheap clips, YET they were NOT BROKEN. Now we have to admit that either this particular technician at the Service Center is very skillful at his job OR another possible reason the X50 clips had never been touched before for almost 2 years. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

I don't own a X50, so I wouldn't know the SC SOP whether they are required to remove the clips during service onot. If yes, need to remove clips, kudos to the technician. If clips are not required to be remove during 2 years of service, then aku touch virgin clips wei !

Oh yeah I have a question about the X50, is there a way to toggle the menu of the X50 so that the driver can see the voltage of the vehicle during operation ? The X70 has this function which is good but I cannot find the any videos about X50 having this feature even for the Flagship model. ๐Ÿ˜…

Hi there,

Just wondering if anyone can assist me with a question.

Issue: random issue starting the car when cold, usually in the morning or when car has been parked for hours. First try usually works although it takes longer to crank, sometimes unable to start and have to do it again.
More and more recent, it'd take longer to crank even after being driven long distance.

Battery: Century Marathoner Max bought back on 12 Apr 2024
Type: NS60L
Car: 2015 Proton iRiz

Test1: at the renowned alternator repair / checking place in Kepong. Tested battery, current leak / parasitic draw.
Outcome: battery found to be unable to sustain draw / load despite being healthy, using a load tester. The rest checked out including the alternator. Kindly see attached picture of the Bosch tester.

Test2: at the place of purchase of the battery. Using one of those portable and slim testers, of course CCA and Voltage checked out and they were reluctant to help claim warranty, more keen to sell me a new battery. Kindly see attached picture of the slim testers and results.

So now what is what? There seems to be a bunch of websites online that try to pass off as Century when in fact they are also sellers / dealers and no one seems to know how to contact the actual HQ to assist with this matter.

Attached some pictures to hopefully help find a solution. Thank you all in advance.

The correct battery for Proton Iriz is NS60S.

From your description, it sounds like there is a parasitic draw. In such a case, you would have to get a wireman to identify the parasitic draw and resolve the parasitic issue.

All battery brands would have this as their Terms & Condition of Warranty, the Warranty does not cover a. Damage to the battery caused by faulty electrical system. So a parasitic draw would be a fault.

Once the parasitic draw is resolved, recharge the battery using an external charger and everything would be OK.

How old is your car? your case is similar to my old Waja back then when it enter 10 years old. Send it to 2 wiring shop for checking at rm50 per check, not found any leak, but similar as your scenario problem. Few times claim new battery under warranty (lucky me). At last found out its due to my CD Charger at the rear bonnet keep on running even engine is off. After disconnect the wires to it, then no more issue.

my idea, send to electrical shop to find the source of current leak, it could be from your Alarm system after entering old life

Luckily you discovered that it was the CD Charger that was causing the parasitic draw. Otherwise you will be wondering what is wrong with batteries these days ๐Ÿ˜œ.

I had no idea that any electrical components once it gets old could possibly cause a parasitic draw. Must investigate further this new information. Thanks.

My bad it's the correct battery, I just didn't open the hood to double confirm that it's actually NS60S.
Every few days I do connect it to my Bosch C7 charger to keep it topped up.

Issue is now shop that specializes in checking electrical systems also says no leak detected ๐Ÿคฃ
Also from my understanding, the pre-requisite of parasitic draw testing is that the battery must be in a good condition to begin with, which is why I'm trying to claim my warranty.

2015. And like your case this place also says no leak detected, looks like I might have to visit Marco Meon in Melaka when the chance arises. Do share if you have other nearer recommendations.
