A lady whom I am monitoring her battery, the last Century Marathoner lasted 29 months in a 1st generation Myvi. It use to last 13~14 months on average. That is an 100% improvement.

My own personal achievement with Century is 48 months but now am targeting to hit 60 months.

A forummer Veejay recently posted that his Century Marathoner lasted a cool 6 years 9 months in a Sorento !

If you are in Melaka, I could drop by see how we can improve on the lifespan if you are keen on saving. Since you want to try out other brands it is ok too.

No worries, I remember telling a friend of mine and she thought I was joking with her.

BTW, the battery that is slowly experiencing difficulty in cranking the car means that the battery is on the way out definately. However that could also mean that there might be a problem with the charging system. Get it checked out. 😊

Amaron Go is actually the same class as Century Marathoner.

I recommend you to go for Amaron Hi-Life instead. If you want Century, get the new Century Excel. These 2 segments have higher CCA as compared to the GO / Marathoner.

Camel 18months warranty

Doesn't this make more sense? cheaper but longer warranty and higher specs.

My mechanic also told me not to get Varta battery as it’s no longer made in Germany. He used to stock them but not now.

varta: 3 years
century: 2.5 years and still running
