Life span of Maintenance free battery compared to normal battery

(1/4) > >>

alangohek:
Hi All,

I changed my car battery at TCM to maintenance free in May 2010.

I occasionally forget to turn off the interior lights (between the driver and the front passenger) over the night and have no problem starting my car the next morning until yesterday.

Is it because the life span of this maintenance battery that I have changed at TCM is coming to an end?

How do i determine whether is battery an issue?

Thanks alot in advance for your advice.

Likely the battery lifespan is over.....i changed my MF battery at AS in Apr 2010 and dead in Jul 2011....prior to that was using AAS Amaron MF battery for 3.5yrs.....

for my car, the symptoms were weak cranking, a/c AUTO button cannot activate immediately when engine start....

changed back to AAS Amaron MF battery in Jul 2011 for $138 with gst with their roadside assistance....

Normal MF battery can only last 1 yr plus abit, tats y if u change at TC, they will give 1 yr warranty. The original MF battery that comes with the car and the premium ones like Amaron n Varta can last longer.

For AAS member, warranty is 15mths...battery price is almost similar leh....what premium or normal type!

Enzoni:
sorry i m not AAS member so i dun know wat battery they provide. i have been getting normal MF battery (mostly korean or thai made eg. Yuasa n hyundai) for around $90 at tyre shop n they usually last slightly more than a year. $90 - normal n $138 - premium because its like $48 difference, make sense? the battery that TC provides seems more like normal than premium, but at a premium price.
