Maintenance free batteries are never as lasting as conventional ones which need battery water top up

but mine is stock conventional battery still last less than 2 yrs, somemore i checked the battery water level just a few days ago & it is okay, all above the metal level :(
clarence:
Do you always turn off your air con and hi fi BEFORE you turn off your engine?
Starting your engine with hi fi and air con already on, can shortern your battery life
Did you install ICE? This is also a killer on stock battery size.
dsrio:
yup, I always off aircon & radio b4 turning off my engine, been doing this for my previous car too, no ice installed. Maybe tan chong stock battery really cmi.
anyway, I am not really angry with this whole thing as when the car died on me this morning, I am not working so no hurry to go anywhere, juz called them and go home wait.
CustomGolf:
Mine lasted 14 months and I'm 16 months into my second battery which is maintenance free. Think the modern car battery is stressed alot more than the older car batteries and there are many more things to check and monitor. Besides, woofer are getting bigger.
liewks:
Batteries are temperamental. The one in my previous Sunny died the day after we took delivery. The replacement battery lasted the next 3.25yrs! It was still going when TCM decided it was dying and changed it out...
The one in my current Latio died after a 11months. TCM swapped it for free on site. Strangely enough, it died after I decided to be good and topped off the battery water. Contaminated battery water? Hmm.
