I just sent in my car 2 days ago to check out the batt.. cos i need to jump start 2 days in a row.. they did the "hand-held" test and told me my batt health is at 100%.. and charging rate is at 97%.. so it should be ok.. but i told them to do a thorough check.. cos it is impossible to have to jump start the car 2 days in a row.. left my car there for abt 4 hrs... when i got my car back.. they told me the bill is $110.. i told them to check again... cos i was told my batt is in good health.. y change it without my consent? they told me the previous batch of batts has lotssssss of problems.. and they are aware of it.. so.. in short.. i got a free new batt :) BTW.. life span of that batt is abt 1 1/2yr i think.. and i changed it at ubi.. :yehyeh:

That was very generous of Tan Chong to give you a free battery on the 2nd yr of your warranty. The usual practise is to charge you 50% of the battery price in the 2nd yr.

A friend of mine once need to jump start his car, went to the agent wkshop the mechanic check and say the battery is ok and did not change battery. Until now still on the same battery. Is it a 1 off thing?

For older cars, a faulty battery could indicate a faulty alternator.

Be more KS, change the battery every 1.5years or less.
