Hi, my friend says its advisible to change battery if it is 2yrs old even if its ok. Mine is the default battery that came with the car when I first bought it and it is 2 yrs old already. My car still starts without any problem in the morning. Reason for asking is I may be going in to Malaysia so pretty troublesome if battery fails halfway.

NSman:
Yes, is advisable to change it ard 2 yrs, you never knows, it might just die without any symptom.. better dun try your luck.

anyway, car will not die when traveling, but it might not be starts again after your 1st stop.

Ender:
That is why I bought a jump start kit specially for my long trip to malaysia.. Carreforre got sell,

clarence:
You can send your car to any battery shop or workshop to check your battery amp.

If reading is fine, no need to change. You can  carry a jump start cable with you just in case.

But of course, you can change your battery if you want peace of mind.

My record was 3 years for  a maintenance free Amaron brand battery.

I saw the portable jump start selling in other forums for $138 but that is the price of a new battery. Might as well change to a new battery or its more beneficial to carry a jump start along? As for those maintenance battery, does it die all of a sudden or give signs like difficulties in starting before it goes dead? I've a volt meter in my car and it still shows 13+ to 14 when engine is running.
