Do I need to change car battery if my battery is still working fine after 2 yrs?

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.

Carrefour selling about $69. If you use POSB everyday card still got 5% rebate. It also comes with a tyre pump too. With jump start kit, at least I can squeeze the battery till the last juice than jump start to go nearest workshop.
As for your mentioned of MF battery, I also scared as it gives no warning, all the more should have a jump start kit in foreign land. Don't want to get caught in malaysia with 'friendly' tow truck out of nowhere to bring you to their black shop. Also useful to pump flat tyre.
Anyway I'm in the same situation as you, my stock battery already passed 2 years, and still going strong. I never top up water either, maybe TC topped for me during servicing. Intend to use till the last drop than changed at outside workshop..

Oh $69 bucks is reasonable. This can jump start the car by itself right. What is it powered by?

Rechargeable battery I guessed, coz you need to charge it using AC plug prior to use.. Oh, this gives us another dilema.. How often do we change the jump start kit battery???

if i don't remember wrongly if u change at TC at 2 yrs got 50% off. I got mine changed at 2 yrs though everything was ok. the 50% deal just makes it sweeter

If want to save money just buy those cables with crocodile clips, sometime given free. Connect your battery to other car's battery and jumpstart yours.
If really unlucky need to use in malaysia, find those harmless looking drivers, if can find SG car best or those travelling with family.
