Re: Feedback on car battery
I paid S$250 +S$30 =S$280. However, S$30 stated here was charged as it was an onsite job. Mechanics brought it down to my stalled vehicle then.
I could only talk about the price part, as for quality, I am still trying it out.

Re: Feedback on car battery
Over the last few years i have tried various batteries... in diff cars. Realised that most give 1 year warranty only. In terms of battery life, expensive brands reliability and life of battery.
If my battery needs replacing, as long as the size and voltage fits, i'll just buy which ever cheaper. Imho.

Re: Feedback on car battery
Have you tried AGM battery? It seems to last quite long.
E39 battery was replaced by PML when E39 was 5.5 yrs old. From thereon, i have been using the same 1 till it was scrap (when E39 was closed to 9 yr old).Meek;995951 said:

Re: Feedback on car battery
Bro,
A good battery should be able to last 4 to 5 yrs in general. If battery is failing prematuredly, it may be other issues which affect the life span of it; hence unless we have the chance to compare apple to apple...its difficult for us to determine the actual quality of the battery. Agree?

Re: Feedback on car battery
Previously I am also not particular about battery because the batteries I used usually last about 4 years. But recently the battery in my Lexus is not lasting. Car brought new. The battery lasted 1.5 yrs. change new battery and lasted 1 yr which I change another just last month.

Re: Feedback on car battery
Never try AGM Battery before but heard it is lasting. However I will not buy AGM because my car is due for scrap in 2.5 yrs. so changing to a normal one to last 2.5 yrs. I don't know how long will the current battery last so better change now then to change when car left 1 year to scrap.

Re: Feedback on car battery
Price should be ok. I had the same car once. no problem with battery. better to wait till it fails unless you are really sure it will hit you when you least expect it.

Hi,
What do you mean by register the battery after replacing?
I have just changed my battery yeste after it failed to start. Jump Start and went to the nearest petrol kisok as nearly office closing hours.
Do we need to check any sensor also? if needed
Mine is also turning 5 year old 525. Thanx

Re: Feedback on car battery
Wow. $100++ labour to replace battery is very high.
You can always DIY. It is easy especially if your existing battery is not flat. Just start your car and disconnect terminal to replace. When your car is started there is no longer a need for battery power so disconnect will not cause any issue with any electronics setting at all.

Hoppecke model (original) $280. But not including cost of labor which worked out to another $100 plus...
