[jattsrobby]

[INDAVID WORKSHOP]

I am using the Red top OPTIMA in two diesel vehicles no issue to date batteries about 1 year old

[sliderz1]

Bosch .........working good so far, but i only do 10k kms on them so far

[Morpheus]

Took a chance with Superior American, no maintenance. August will make it 2 years since I installed it.

Went and got the battery and charging system checked once for warranty reasons, 2 weeks after purchase I think. Never had cause to go back(maintenance free they said). Car still starting great.

I forgot my hood light on overnight Wednesday night and the car remote started without problems. When I went to the car I that's when I realise I forgot the light on (10pm - 6am)

Powermaster lasted exactly a yr.... now the ting eh takin charge. electrician said " like a cell gone tru cause the amps skipping"

is it normal for these batteries to konk out after approx a year? and why is that?
I always make sure my alternator charging properly and water level good etc.

I need to get a new battery so this thread is important to me too..

Diesel Turbo pickup btw.

Typical. And with the diesel, your warranty probably up too right?

As i've recently come to realize, buy anything BUT a local battery.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

you can't go wrong with the following:
ac delco
power master
stinger(more for music)
optima
some people use rocket i never hear them complain

[~Vēġó~]

^^^and if you could get DieHard....that is one best battery!!!

is not the first time battery conk out and warranty up. steupes.

I had a bad experience with AC Delco. but is no fault of the battery. Same thing... I needed a battery cause my Track decided to conk out at the most unopportune time. After some milling around I decided on the maintenance free cause the water had dried up on the old one. One week later this ACdelco got fried. Meh damn alternator was overcharging. Trust me, I learn meh lesson dey.

Make sure water levels good and alternator in top condition

i fixed 2 cells in a 1 1/2 yrs in meh las powermaster

[cutthroatInt]

Powermaster/Track, same exact battery btw.. Different sticker and price. All made by Lange Trinidad. Just FYI.

Who fixed the cells for you? and how much did each fixing cost?

[sliderz1]

a backyard electrcian in guanapo ( arima side) cost $60 each repair

[INDAVID WORKSHOP]

The maintenance free batteries need some sort of heat shielding as I was told, no heat shield affects the gell in these batteries, is this true?

[sliderz1]

em.........i dunno..... i have a bosch in d navara and it workin good so far

Not really, with the added heat the car would require a battery can survive the heat. Ive seen kinetic batteries swell from being under the hood of a heated car.


Personally I use an optima d34 yellow top for over 2yrs now and experienced no problems whatsoever. Ive seen a few powermaster's (USA) just stop charging after a while and so far the AC delco has been holding its own.

For small music, the marine battery or deep-cycle type batteries is not necessary. Unless you plan to park the vehicle with the engine off and play your music.

I too have small music and I went with the sealed maintenance-free Bosch. I decided to try it cuz they give 3 years warranty on gas engines and it was $400 cheaper than those marine batteries that the other folks were tryin to sell me.

[sboo99]

Bosch .........working good so far, but i only do 10k kms on them so far

I have a Bosch maintenance-free as well. Got it checked the other day and it's still 100% perfect and I've had it since Dec '09.

Tuners .... where sells Diehard batteries??

[Galleyoda]

[Galleyoda]

^^^and if you could get DieHard....that is one best battery!!!

Who sells DieHard?

[CD4Accord]

I will always go Diehard over Power Master/Rocket/Track/Yuasa...

You will be surprised how affordable it is too

[Morpheus]

^^I will go ANYTHING over them

I only going maintenance free too. LoL
