Is that even possible for Century Marathoner battery to last until 27 months? as my battery now is at 25 months.. it sometime show sign of hard to start in the morning... not always but like 3-4 times in a month.

Any brand recommendation for honda city 2013 battery type  NS40ZL??

currently read that varta black premium NS40ZL (B19/B20) Group

34B19L - 34 Ah, 272 CCA (RM190)
42B20L - 38 Ah, 340 CCA (RM210)

varta black premium is not so good?? how about amaron GO?

any recommendation car center that provide good price?

i found is https://www.vinbattery.com/

he quote me rm 190 for amaron GO

Ultramax din75 iinm was around rm360-375. Hi life pro din55 rm320

Wanted to replace the ultramax with another ultramax but cant seem to find any seller that is selling it. Now most seller only sell varta and amaron din 74/75 which cost around rm470++ with only 18 month warranty

So ended up downgrading to century marathoner din66 for rm360 with 18mth warranty

I really envy you guys who can get your hands on the Ultramax. It is good to know that yours is still going strong after 26 months. Did they inform you of the battery's CCA when the battery test is still strong & healthy ? Please do keep us posted when it expires, as I am genuinely interested to know.

Yes Century has recently launch Marathoner Max, it has 2X the start times or lifespan or something along those lines and you are right to assume that it is better than the Marathoner.

Ok that is good. Bro., which car make & model is the Ultramax in ?

Bro., I am blown away. After 26 months and it has only used up 40 CCA's. Both impressed with the Ultramax and Honda. Based on my extremely limited experience, I think Honda has the best power management system.

Why do I have this nagging feeling that this battery is going to last a really really long time, provided everything remains the same. 😊

Ok minimizing Start-Stop function yes, but to prolong battery life by driving the car for short distances ? Did you actually mean long distance ?

Dun think nowadays battery need to do that. I left my cars two weeks without starting it is also ok.

There is no such thing that one needs to start the engine to charge the battery just to keep it ‘alive’ for every few days.

I went overseas last time for two weeks also ok.

when car is off engine. how can the battery be used?

If it happens, likely it is ur battery problem that cannot hold the charge.

The problem with such expensive vehicles is that the negative terminal cannot simply be removed without creating more problems. The only solution is to have someone come around to fire up the vehicle during one's absence. It does appear that these days vehicles are more dependant on their respective SC more than ever.

My foreman once told me, that he warned his client that he will not be responsible if his client's car failed to start for a battery replacement but his client insisted that the client would bear the consequences. So the foreman proceeded to do a battery replacement much to the horror of his client, the client's vehicle failed to start. The client learnt his lesson, and the client had to call the SC to send in their mechanic with their computer systems to reset the ECU or something.

Even if I had that amount of cash to spend, I wouldn't want to own a vehicle wherein I cannot even remove the negative terminal without creating other problems.

Btw, i thought idling the car doesn't really charge the battery? it needs to be driven in order to properly charge up the battery. Idling charges it at such a slow rate that I'm not sure how long you need to keep the car idle in order to compensate for the loss during:
1. cranking of the engine
2. parasitic loss throughout the period it wasn't started.

Well. Spoke too soon. Battery died just now. 26 months. Ramcar (original from new car till now).

Any good recommendation?

Persona vvt. Ns60r

From bateriku, options are
1. Century  marathoner
2. Amaron go
3. Varta black

Bateriku no offer hi-life for my car o.

Manual says my car need 46B24RS
12v 45Ah

Still in the midst of checking around. Cause some places list the battery for 2nd gen persona. The d55 or something. I dun think my car is using that spec. Also feel a bit sien cause even after replace batt, car need to send back to proton to reset some settings (according to sc and is foc i think cause i service there all the time) but jz troublesome lo.

Charger i got think about it, but i see that price and lately car no give me trouble in starting, then i gave it no further thoughts. Will consider again. Now is find right battery first. I rmb somewhere stated that it is not healthy to jumpstart persona vvt also.

I doubt that would work for him too.

My existing Panasonic is coming to 40 months by this month end and today morning already keluar pattern. Despite all the TLC showered on my 1st Panasonic battery, I expected it to last at least 48 months like my previous Century battery but I will still be keeping my fingers crossed.

Marathoner.

It is impossible to find Ultramax in Melaka. I think Century has reduced the production of Ultramax.

What do you think about Century's EFB batteries ?

My kia rio battery dat comes from factory lasts only over a year? It is AGM60L-DIN, Rocket brand made in korea by Sebang. Is it a good brand?

Wanna change also needs agm battery kah?

Been reading that these days AGM quality is unlike those from olden days.

Yes you are correct. Rightfully AGM should last much much longer especially for the price they are charging for AGM.

Oh I think you are mistaken I don't have the capacity for AGM, however reading from forummers who has posted here with their experiences with AGM batteries a trend is beginning to show. I remember Scotty Kilmer was complaining about AGM batteries and he said the problem started when production was moved from the US to Mexico, I think. The quality of AGM had deteriorated since then.

You are correct again, batteries used must match that of the vehicle specification. However there are people who wants to undercut costs try to use the smallest battery possible. Definately this will void any warranty for battery.

It is strange, some of the pipits will try to use the highest powered battery possible for the best bang for their buck. Whereas some of the helangs with their big expensive cars, tries to use the smallest battery possible the smaller the better, even if they are told that would void the warranty !!! 😂😂😂😂😂

For me I just charge 3 (all) of my family cars with Bosch C7 charger, every 3-4 week once, MCO or not.  Total peace of mind.

Battery more lasting as well.

Amaron (CCA 380) for my girl's car is reaching 3 years this July.

Amaron (CCA 600) for wife's car is reaching 2 years this June.

Rocket AGM (CCA 850), reaching 2 years this Sep.

Target is to hit 3 years at least for each of these.

Saw plenty car battery charger at shopee from rm40-70. Any good vs c7?
