Battery Life Empty Battery Life

Post by kysoong 7th August 2009, 9:52 am

Just want to check - suppose we turn off engine but we didnt turn off the lights. Although the lights will be cut off, will this eat into battery life?

Btw, anyone got any lobang for future battery change?

If want to change, change to the maintenance free type.

No need to top up battery water one.

Not sure if ours are like that.

Battery will be charged again once you crank start your engine. So not much of an issue. I think a battery can easily last 2 years.

My current one is almost 2 years old, and still going strong. Very Happy

As for lobang, I got mine chopped by BMS at AMK Autopoint, so wouldn't recommend there. Paid 140plus for the battery. No

Never use batteries with their brands on stickers and pasted on the battery. These will last usually 12 months.

Go for those with their brands embossed on the the battery body. Example: Amaron (very solid build)

I noticed Forte battery a bit different from the rest.

The battery is clipped at the bottom.

So when change a new one (not the original one that came with the car), a new clamp needs to be installed, I supposed.

Any idea ?

Usually... longer cranking time(with a pinch of salt). MF batteries usually do not give any indication of dying.
