Rocket batteries from Laughlin & De Gannes
PowerMaster/Turbo/UltraPower/Miatsu batteries from Massy ACL
Track batteries from Lange Trinidad
I wanna help out the local businesses and support local but if the final consensus is, they're all rubbish then I have no choice but to contribute to the country's forex woes and consider AC Delco which is General Motors, a US company like DieHard and Interstate, then there's Bosch which is a German company and Yuasa being Japanese.
Decisions!

XS power on 6th year here.
I'll always advise against those batteries sadly because of terrible voltage dropping in a couple of family cars, not sure if we had bad batches but 3 of them were sheit. And I won't support that company after some shady stuff they doing with productseliteauto wrote:My OEM Hyundai battery lasted 1 year of use ( just under 3 years from manufacture) in a diesel taxi which apparently is good service. Speaking with other drivers 8 months is the norm apparently, currently using an Atlas maintenance free bought from Target Trading for the last 14 months

Heard good reviews on XS batteries so will go with them.
