Dry cell batteries at below $100 nowadays is considered cheap.

Cannot compare with last time.

Last time, no COE, no ERP, no taxi fuel surcharge, no peak period 35% fare surcharge, no CBD area surcharge, and petrol prices only $1.20 for 97RON (no 98RON yet), diesel prices only $0.50.   :(

Mine already more than 1 1/2 year. Never top up water once...

BTW, Maintenance free battery is not dry cell, It's still wet, but it's sealed to keep water loss to the minimum..

Your wet battery is very lasting and hardy.

What brand is it?
