1. Century
2. Yokohama
3. Yuasa

Ask for battery that have 3 yrs warranty... it will cost you rm300-400

but normal battery will have one year battery will last not long than 2-3 yrs

been using BOSCH for the past 5 years (non MF) almost all lasted for 2 and half years

GS battery with 13 plates is a good battery.

Choose yokohama (use batt water type)..mine average lasted 4yrs..tried and tested on 3 cars

gp batteries is gud option too.

Shell service centre in bdr baru farlim.

Look for Wee auto repair

Off topic abit.

If you can, find BatteryAid from AceHardware, but in Klang Valley only.

I tried it before and
It helps extends the life of a battery, provided it's not half spoilt also.

last battery is yokohama until now,been using it 2years

Hi guys, thanks for the feedback. I'm looking for the non-MF type because i know that MF will last 1.5 years the most. By the way, anyone ofyou using Watta battery ? My current car using it (original) and last for 3.5 years as of now. However, the mechanic told me the battery power is very weak now and need a replacement. Did you guys think with 60% power can still last for how long ? Regarding Yokohama, one of my friend who own a shop said it is not good and he recommends me to use Yuasa. Any comment ?

I'm using Yuasa now. The mechanic told me that it's imported from Japan. 2 weeks never start my car, still okie.

GS is Yuasa. And it has 13 plates

i thought century also is a very good battery.. it has warranty for 18month...and usually can last more than 2 years..i'm using it now..but i just use it few month back..

I think Watta is an imitation of the real Varta batteries, no?

Really? GS battery last time last me quite long, over 3 yrs. Made in tomyam land.

Where can we get GS Yuasa Battery in Penang?

My scooter using Yuasa Dry Cell battery.

so so only.

Any 1 heard of Korean Koba Battery?

hows its performance/

gonna change a NS60L soon for my car.

doin survey now/

No doubt, Century is the Best.

in my experience, 'maintenance free' batteries are a waste of money. they go flat without warning. the glass indicator doesn't even change color when its flat.... they say the imported japanese 'maintenance free' batteries are better, but it will cost a lot and hard to find.

about the water type, better get those empty ones, and when u buy, they will fill in the water then plug into your car. for me, i prefer century and yokohama.

how much is century costs? prefer water type ones... DIN 55....besides century what battery is good?? bosch?

But i heard Century closed shop already!

Wen i bought my VS, the battery keep like tak cukup power, then the mech help me recharge few times.

they said BM horn need more power la, so ur battery no enough power la. this and that.


Plan to change Koba battery for my car, but ngam ngam no stock.

so i have change to MF NS60L INCOE @ RM150.

the CCA around 250, if Koba is around 400CCA.

Just want to ask, how you guys check whether the baterry have how many plates inside?

The Century NS60L MF battery is sitting in my Corolla EE80 for 3 years already, so far so good.

The car is equipped with VS & GC from EricTioh, not sure if they help extend battery lifespan.

i heard from apek kedai battery..Bosch batteries nowadays manufactured in Korea,Century from Philippines almostly,Yuasa direct from Japan(green box),Indonesia (yellow + blue/green box,not sure) and also local made, GS from Thailand subsidiary of GS Yuasa company, Yokohama + Niko local made in same factory, Varta from german but acquired by Johnson control from US...Panasonic is from thailand..FIamm imported from Italy..AC delco not sure..i think direct from GM..just guess..hehe
