Just tell the mechanic what you want, he will know what to do.

the battery should last about 40k km, roughly about 2 yrs . advise to change before stall. if not get ready the jump start cable with you in case cant start. otherwise better to change it now.
-
2.5 years, wow, that's long lasting for car battery, is it energizer? I change my first battery at 15 months.
-
think should be panasonic, they got the new battery with longest lasting battery than all brand. :thumbsup:
-
Well, mine died w/o notice after 1.5yrs...call TC and they sent a replacement battery at 50% discount but they did add in a labor charge...
Total damage is about $90. So if yours lasted 2.5yrs, count yourself lucky man - but now its about to time to change - before it die on you; usually at the most inconvenient time.
Goodluck!!
-
$90 is if the battery is changed when TCM delivers the item... anybody know how much it is for changing it when i do it during servicing??

hi mikal
during my 30000km service at autosaver, the guy told me my battery life is ard 50% left liao. but i insist dun chg first...
now is 2mths later after the last service, n is abt 1year2mths after i bot my Latio last Oct08.
so? i thk is time to chg aso? not sure TCM will tell me to chg during 2molo servicing or not? if i sign up npmp , will the chg of battery be covered aso leh?
-
Sorry, i think battery not covered by NPMP. 2nd year car, TCM will give u 50% discount on the battery. So still very worth it i think. u can ask them to change it for u during yr service.

hi all
today, my 40000km servicing at tcm bkt timah.
there is a Note on the invoice, TO PROLONG LIFESPAN OF BATTERY, PLEASE CHECK & TOP UP BATTERY WATER TO LEVEL AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH
meaning, my battery still can last for awhile.
and, i chk with the payment cashier lady, after 1yr to before 2yr after we bot the latio, we can enjoy 50% discount if we chg our battery there...
from 2nd year to end of 2nd year, is 25% discount. subsequently, no discount at all.
i thk i will chg mine in my next servicing. hopefully my battery still can last for another 10000km.
regards.

Yes - shld change asap at 50%...that is at about $55++...otherwise if your current battery dies...they will charge you another $35++...that's why i paid $90++...

if the mechanic knows what to do, your audio settings etc will remain.
