Well not sure consider fortunate or unfortunate, my Bezza just reached 2 year old few days ago, its stock battery died today before CNY. Luckily it died before I plan to go outstation to my parent's hometown...

My parents used my car go pasar, they both didn't bring their phones out. Eventually they had to pinjam pasar stall owner phone in order to call me to get the other family car out to jumpstart. My parent's didn't give precise location had to ronda around just to find my car, with the vague location my parents gave.

My Bezza had a cheapo MrDIY jumper but when I attempted to jumpstart and charge with my Honda City Battery + Engine for like 30 minutes using the proper connection setup was useless, I tried to charge it from 8.5V to 12.5V also unable to jump start. It's battery electrochemistry seems too weak, might not be enough current and voltage to jump start.

Eventually I ordered Carput's Battery Replacement for an AMARON GO Series 38B20L for RM 275.

Then a random good samaritan came by, and bring his thicker gauge Jumper cable. And told me not to connect to the metal body of my dead car, instead directly onto the Negative Terminal of my Bezza dead Battery.

Luckily, no hydrogen leaked and the original battery didn't exploded. And my Bezza managed to start up, and  had to cancelled the Carput, where the runner still dunno where go pick up the battery. Called Carput CS and the Runner Tech to cancelled ordered.

So, I went around the neighbourhood to look for an Amaron Dealer Car Battery Shop.

First shop, the Cina uncle macam nak potong me, sell higher than Official Store / Carput, RM 340 for the same Amaron Go Battery.

So directly I go survey another Battery shop RM 290 - RM 20 Trade In. Only just saved RM 5.  sweat.gif

At the end, I think should have let Carput to replace me car battery. In case next time or under warranty period the battery became dead.

Car Batteries nowadays so weak, can't really last more than 2 years+ already?  sweat.gif

My stock battery is some Panasonic Lead-Acid Battery with Refillable Caps.
Only went to Perodua Service Center 3 months ago, the technicians checked the battery report says ok.

I go look back report in details mana pula cold start Voltage was 10V+ but Engine started it was 14V+....
Rated CCA 240A, Measured already 220A...

The Perodua SC didn't bother to inform my battery near dying stage... rclxub.gif

I bring extra battery for long distance drive.

One time battery dead in penang. Lucky to have the spare battery to replace on the spot.

PS: el-cheapo jumper cable which has not pure copper and can't take high current across the points can't jumpstart.

Better invest pure copper wiring or custom made jumper cable for hassle free
