They selling a battery charger/reconditioner in PriceSmart. Gonna pick up one and maintain my battery see how long it lasts. Probably just need a distilled water top up and recondition every 6 months.

i had one but hesitated to use it when my last battery went dead as the car is parked in the road far from AC outlets - but only a week after when i read the manual i realized u cud take it out and charge it but by then it was too late- it was only trying to recondition when i tried charging it.

Have the Mutlu as well in two cars great starting power. Two years warranty.

Engine bay. Not even clamped. It just sitting there. And I have a fair amount of music in the vehicle. I think that battery saw one of my payslips
