Bro.. how u connect the battery? U shldn't connect battery to battery for both cables leh... It should be the battery postive to positive, and while u connect negative from the host's battery, the negative terminal shld be to the suspension mounting lug nut..(i.e. shld be the same as grounding tt type). not sure if that's the correct term
I using lousy ******** cables very thin one time can start le..haha.. Host car rev to 2.5krpm can liao... (Host car is a Mit Lancer 1.6 GLX)

Forgot to mention that my battery died cos I was doing DIY soundproofing to my car doors and boot area.. left audio on to 'enjoy' music. hahaha.. didn't know time passed so quickly.
3 hours later, the battery was dead. but after jumpstarting and running it for 20 minutes the battery is back to normal.
I drive 90% hway so maybe that explains why my battery is so healthy. Got link right? cos at high speed (110km/h) the alternator is spinning faster so the charge is better.
Whereas the Amaron Maintenance Free batt on my dad's car does only 8km per day and it can't last more than 1.5years. My stock Latio battery is turning 2.5years old in August and only 3 Cranks to start.

How much is Fiamm, how is Fiamm compared with Varta?
What battery specs should we be looking at, I mean..like tyres, we've got 195/60/R15, not sure if any for batt.
Thanks
