Sorry bro., I don't know what brand is this and neither am I interested. I stick with an established brand that has worked for me and my clients and now I have a bigger problem as I just found out after this morning inspection. My client's Century Battery had been swapped out and other things stolen as well with regard to the battery. Bloody pisses me off.

How can anyone in the battery business forget the correct spec ? Budak baru belajar ke ? Has always been xD23L and the latest Camry requires AGM liao.

When in doubt always counter check with established brands.

Never trust resellers. Owners should know the correct battery specification themselves. If unsure please refer to the Owners Manual on the proper battery specification or check online established battery websites for correct specification. Some websites will list the full range of battery from AGM to RFB for 1 vehicle model, that alone should raise question on its veracity. I do not know of any vehicle that has the capacity to change it's charging voltage depending on the battery's make.

It would be nice, if all battery manufacturers had the battery specification listed clearly on the top of the battery like this ...

I dont understand the logic of placing the specifications at the side of the battery. When owners call for a dead battery, they cannot even mentioned the specification by looking at the top of the battery. Then have to start asking question after question. Make it simple la battery manufacturer, why make things so complicated ? As if the owners have xray vision and able to read the specifications with the battery inside the engine bay.

You know what is the worst shit ? Appearing onsite with the correct battery spec on hand but when opening up the bonnet and terkejut seeing a completely different spec altogether because some intelligent guy decided to do jackass modifications. No wonder the battery is dying early.

Yes. Here is what I encountered. I know for sure that my client uses NS40ZL for the 2nd Gen Myvi but when I opened the bonnet it was NS60LS.

I have no idea, bro. When the Authorized Service Center changed the location of my Principal Co battery sticker in my vehicle, they kena from me kaw kaw. Some are more diligent than others I guess. The point there is a reason why stickers are there and the terms & conditions for warranty is very clear.

Hi.. so far feedback here is based on reading and common knowledge... seriously, anybody use Astra for more than 1 year? And still running? Pls raise hand and share...

Batteriku is quite large ok... their presence is quite substantial now in malaysia market... pretty sure they wont opt for cap ayam OEM brand and jeopardize their brand like proton...

So pls... anyone use for more than 12 months... pls share ur experience...

Astra been for 2 yrs now... so far no actual grievances read over the net...

Alright... decided to give it a try... bought astra DIN70 LN3 from batteriku...

Me lucky i guess... because when i opened my Bosch DIN70, bosch was leaking already... luckily no further damage to my car... so no more Bosch lagi for me...

see... branded batteri now made in thai or korea... varta, bosch etc... quality the same as astra maybe... we will knew in 1 yr 9 months... this astra can match bosch or not...

Ok... see in 1 yr 9 month...

2nd day Raya and all shops are closed. Bateriku pushed for Astra instead of Varta.
P/S been using Varta for quite sometime they all tend to die in less than 2 years. The last one I had only survived 10 months, claimed new one under warranty and lasted for another 14 months..
trying my luck with Astra now..
