Stock Vios 2016 with dashcam+USB 5V 2.1A
Exactly 2 years, 50k KM
Battery didn't die, but SA suggest to replace. I can feel the difference for Start/Stop engine after change battery.

Now it's habit for me to press Start/Stop button 2 times, before pressing brake pedal & Start.

What's the purpose of press start/stop 2 times???

You must be one of the first Amaron user I guess. smile.gif Ok will add Amaron to the list.

Once I get my battery Analyzer & battery Charger instead of checking out testimonials only, I am going to start conducting various tests throughout my community and their batteries. That should give me a better analysis of what's good & what's crap.

I believe as customers when we purchase better built quality items, manufacturers with good practices will remain in the industry and weed out bad practices.

However when customers starts selecting for the cheapest on the shelf, it signals to the manufacturers that quality is NOT priority, hence the market will be flooded with all kinds of crap and manufacturers with good practices will find it hard to compete.

I am very curious. Why u have so much interest in batteries? Lol. Hobby or what? For me, I dun even know what battery brand I am using! Usually they last 1 to 2 years only. I treat it as about rm300 expense every 2 years.. why bother with all those diagnostics .. just change new one.. not that expensive really smile.gif

I really like old cars and if the battery died that's it, I would just change it. It doesn't affect the car one bit.

However with modern cars its totally different. A weak battery is sufficient to cause a complete nervous meltdown. 

Besides while travelling, the battery suddenly died during the journey & luckily we were near our destination. Cannot imagine if this happened while travelling in the middle of the highway !!!

You can also call this Preventive Management. Since then I have been adopting various different techniques just to prolong the battery lifespan and understanding better about battery management systems.

Just like any end user, what I want is quality and peace of mind plus bang for our buck on the things we buy. Nothing irks me more when the poor are scammed of their hard earned money, because businessmen sees its their right to mislead gullible end users.

Battery died while driving but engine still running right?

Battery only needed to start the engine the rest is alternator jobs.

Or I am wrong?
