Tumpang, last week my dad bought ns70 battery for wira 1.3, i read suppose to use ns60.
Any bad impact in the car, altenator or fuse in the long run?
Ns70 will be harder to jump start incase battery flat?

acid eats away at the metal, not make it rust. Salt will make it rust a lot lot faster though which is a problem when using salt batteries. But copper zinc plastic combo will work well.

lead acid is a wet cell. They do tend to leak and spray around thats why its important to seal them right. Both for wet cells (acid/salt) electrolysis of water is a concern.

Wait a minute, are you saying that the NS70 could be fitted properly into the Wira 1.3 ?

How much voltage was that particular cranking out ?

Correct, technically battery lifespan is closely related to its size and also closely related to how it is used.

However my previous battery NS40ZL lasted 48 months and others close to me has also seen marked improvement in battery lifespan.

Prior to that my batteries hardly lived more than 24 months. It the knowledge acquired but it is the experience that counts. By the end of the year another NS40ZL will be 3 years old.

Oh it has nothing to do with the differences of transmission I suspect, until I can churn out more datas on my cars. 😊

Double post sorry

More than 15V, less than 16V.
My Axia at most is 14.4V.

Yes, it can
Not supoose to?

Thats really odd. My neighbour's Wira 1.5 last production model, the NS70 battery couldn't fit as the metal clamp at the top was too small or short. The base of the battery holder does match the NS70 battery but not the metal clamp. Perhaps someone else swapped out his metal clamp without him knowing it.

I do not know if the NS70 is supposed not to used, but it is best to check with Proton over this whether the corresponding alternator is up for the job.

Furthermore I do know about the practices of other battery manufacturers but Century is pretty strict, with regard to its warranty example using battery size that is not recommended according to specifications.

Supercaps. Confirm last more than 4 years.

I have tips for battery last longer, my current battery still in service for more than 5 years i believe. When batteriku still cheap.

1. I relocate the battery from the front to the rear. Less heat = happy battery.
2. Its a weekend car, so i remove the battery terminal when not in use, its a maintenance century free battery.

Bro., I am curious did you do the relocation of the battery yourself or did you get someone to do it for you ?

I did it myself, just need to buy.
1. clamps
2. 400 amp welding cable, but if you could get BMW battery cable, it is much better.
3. grounding cables
4. fuse 200amp.

at first i ran the welding cable trough the interior of my car, but its too tight and part of the cable was sliced by the firewall, so i remove it completely and buy another one to run it under my car and go up back trough the rear spare tire compartment. Routing was much easier, and a bit safer rather than running it inside your car. FYI grounding cable or points is twice important than the power cable. Previously i hard a crank issue where the engine was so hard to start and found out that it was due to lack of grounding.

Battery lifespan mostly depend on car type & drive pattern. My rocket last for 5years made in korea. My bmw exide brand din100 last for 10years maybe bcos the battery at the rear boot & not in hot front engine bay. Hot temperature not good for battery. Many things to consider for battery lifespan.

When a lead-acid battery starts to go downhill, I reckon it should be very fast within a couple of months period and definately not more than 5~6 months especially for NS40ZL. Maybe there are exceptions to this rule for NS40ZL battery size but I have not come acrossed them yet.

With reference to your 1st question about battery size, perhaps it is also true that a larger battery size will take a longer time to die, once it starts to go downhill. Unfortunately I do not have any data on this yet.

Damn, you must be really be good. 👍

Wira 1.6/1.8 export spec came with NS70 tray and clamps as standard. My 1st battery for this car was a Sime (yes, dun ask why) NS70.

In fact if you search lazada/shopee/lelong etc., you can find NS70 battery tray for Wira/Satria/Putra. And battery holders/clamps too.

Thanks mate, now that makes sense. It was catered for the export market.

If its Wira 1.6/1.8, then its most likely the NS70.
If its Wira 1.3/1.5, then its most likely the NS60S.

A smaller capacity alternator will definately be unsuitable for a bigger battery, that is my hunch only. 😊

Varta?

Don't ever try to AMARON. I was convinced by sales person to buy the highest spec ard RM400++ which he said could last more than 3 years. At the end, lasted only 18 months.
SO DISAPPOINTED.
