So today I've washed the dead Yokohama battery to prevent any surface discharge further and to remove all the gunk on it.

After wiping it down for it to be air dryed, I decided to tilt the battery slightly to it sides to allow excess water 💦 to flow away.

I was shock with the amount of water that was pouring out from both sides when it was tilted !

It's a design flaw to be have so much water entrapped in between the crevices etc.

To put it in layman terms, I wouldn't be buying this model with a flaw in its design that's for sure.

While this model may look nice with its futuristic design but this doesn't cut it. Practicality always supersedes asthetics if efficiency is what one is looking for.

Crap Century Ultramax suddenly died on me! Will never buy Century again. Now all my 3 cars change to Amaron, we'll see if it's as good as many have claimed!

Ya today morning I start my gen2 after 1 week unused, feel the starter motor sounds a bit weaker. Could be because 1 week no start and morning cold temperature.
Ultramax 2 years 8 months.

My ultraman battery has now officially dead, totally cannot start this morning, aged 2 years 8 months.

Did you use a battery tester to see crank ratings like cca as well?

What type of instrument and brand that was use to measure the voltage ?

Not too long ago, my battery voltage was good but it failed to crank the engine, although it managed to crank another car. Found later that it was the starter that crap out after 20+ years. Now with a new starter it is better than before. 😊

Bro., I don't think I remember you writing about the make and model was your vehicle that the battery couldn't crank any longer.

I think different makes and different models needs a minimum amount of CCA to turn over the engine, heck I even suspect each and every vehicle even of 4the same make and model has different minimum requirements as well. Age may also be a factor.

What makes real sense from what is continuosly prescribed by battery sifus, is to stuff into the battery compartment with the highest rating battery that is appropriately suited for the vehicle, that should give one the best bang for ones buck. Never once have I came across any battery sifus suggesting going for the cheapest battery available because it is most probably on the way out. 😊

The readings at approx 200 CCA is right to begin to show that its weak, that is what I experienced too however my battery are still be to turn the engine over. Maybe for your vehicle, the battery would be considered weak when the readings are at 300 CCA.

You seem to care about your batt and seem pretty alright too. Tell you what, the next time before your batt gives way, let me know and I will prepare a new batt for you, if that is possible. Breaching the 3 year mark should be possible, if one is willing to follow the terms & conditions. 😊

I am at a Service Center now as I write this. There's a vehicle that has just carton box wrapped around its batt. Question for all, is this right or wrong ?

Bro., 12.6V on the battery out-of-vehicle is good enough already 100% State-of-Charge. Ini sampai 20V. Ini bateri 12.6V bateri bukan ke ? Terlalu high and terlalu merbahaya.

Hi everyone,

I've got a hypo question about batteries.

1. Costs Rm200 with 300 CCA, or
2. Costs Rm270 with 450 CCA.

The above are new batteries ceteris paribus, which would you choose and why ? TQVM for joinning in this survey. 😊

Bro, of course under normal circumstances, it is natural that a higher powered unit will last longer than a lower powered unit. The reverse will never hold true.

Don't you find it strange that you lament on the hit on the pocket and yet you resign to the fact that replace every 2 years ?

For me, I personally don't accept such a situation but continuosly strive to look for ways to prolong battery lifespan, even after having the highest CCA installed and acheiving 4 years with that. Even then, it is still unacceptable for me, as now I need to beat my previous achievement of 4 years.

Bro., my advice is, the devil is always in the details, if you get what I mean. 😊

Ok and thanks for your information. Here's what I can deduce.

Polo. It seems to have an exceptionally high power consumption of 24 CCA/month, far greater than all the cars that I have tested todate. Or maybe that is VW standard thingy, I don't know.

Gen2. Now I think I know what you are trying to say. However if I had guessed it correctly, the Gen2 high power consumption 16 CCA/month.

Here's the thing, one has to factor in power consumption as well in determining battery lifespan. The higher the power consumption, the shorter will the lifespan be, and vice versa. I know for sure that cars that runs only during the day, their batteries last longer than cars that runs at night. Simply because there is no load on the battery from the lights on day cars. Since you mentioned about frequent midnight jobs, that could be your very reason.

My sister-in-law gatal-gatal when to install a huge entertainment unit etc etc and then asked why her battery cannot last long. Now in order to say money on the DIN55 battery, now she never turns on the entertainment unit anymore.

A good friend of mine came in a new Odyssey and said that the battery dies after a year period. With the 2 huge automatic sliding doors, USB ports throughtout the car for charging 5 phones dan lain lain lagi, macam mana tak mati ?

I met a Chinese lady yesterday, whom is interested in attending my talk next month. She said she tries not to use the air-con where possible, just to save money on batteries and she managed to push her battery lifespan longer than before. I commended that it was very wise of her.

If anyone were to run 2 simple test, using 2 new batteries & let it self-discharge by itself sitting on the floor. The higher powered unit will certainly out last the lower powered unit accordingly based on CCA differences by the same proportion.

may the brand of NS60S is lower spec with 46B24R, for Honda standard requirement battery for NS60S spec must be 55B24R. this spec also used in Civic And all those honda car for their battery NS60. have to remember that quality and spec very important when buying a battery for your car. https://carbateri.com/pricing/
check the website to get know what is your car battery size. their service quite good as i used previously. free deliver & free installation with very compatibility price. one more thing is they never charge event a cents when come to warranty on site visit within warranty period.

Whoa ! I am blown away.

I will definately have to check this out tomorrow.

Bro., what does it mean when it is stated pro-rate or rata ?

Why is the price is quite different with shopee seller? Shopee sells cheaper. Is ther different pricing with different warranty period? Or different dealers give different warranty and service?

MERCEDES-BENZ NS60S ? 😨



The rest is history. No wonder la cari wireman. It is strange I tried talking to him but he wanted to teach me things instead. Yup customer is always right. NS60S ialah bateri spec for this Mercedes. Gua caya sama lu bro. Bos nak pakai bateri lagi kecil saiz Kancil punya pun boleh. Lagi jimat bos.
