Car Batery opinion....Pls

[NeoG]

Hi to All ZTH member,

I currently driving Honda Civic yr95 (EG) Auto tranny Non-Vtec. I going to change my car batery soon because it going to die off soon after two yrs of using. Currently using GP batery with 11 plates, i heard that market selling maintanence free batery, btw is the maintanence free batery perfomance as good as normal car batery?? i also heard that market sell 13 plates car batery (higher capacity).

So my concern here is, if i change my car betery which one is better for me? Get back the original 11 plates, or change to 13 plates (higher capacity) or go for tha maintanance free batery?? I also heard that if your car batery is good, then ur car performance will get (slightly) better (pls correct me if i'm wrong).

*I heard my uncle say b4, the maintanence free batery is no good for 4wd car, he mention after he replace the maintanenca free batery, his car feel under power(he say he was buying the correct batery for 4wd).BTW he is driving Ford Ranger. Is this true????

Thanks in advance for any one that concern/give opinion on this topic
^_^y.....TQ

Before this I was using a maintenance free battery call Yamasaki, die quite fast 1.5 years. Now using Panasonic (get from N1)... not bad, no complaint.

maintenance free not good for our climate. the gel inside it cannot store the power for long time. not like other european country. thats what i'm being told.
not sure how far its true or not.
i'm using AAM battery since i got warranty 1 year fr them. plus if my batt kong they will come the breakdown place n replace it (if within 1 year warranty period).

its not just the battery sometimes. the factory earthing cables also needed to be checked. furthermore nowadays with the power windows, alarm, soundsystem, meters and etc..u should get the appropriate battery for the application. i notice ppl like to use the panasonic (ns40) battery for their dohc vtec. i think the ns60 bigger size is better. probably becoz its small ?

 

[hattech-v]

the smaller size can lighten a bit ur car... maybe... haha

btw, last few day my car cant start coz of poor aftermarket grounding... what a waste on the gnd cable.

its actually a waste if you dont tap it at the correct points. just double tap what u had from the factory ones.

Yupe...thats from what I know, MF battery actually same as conventional battery. The different is the plate inside the battery which made from different material and MF has a very slow dissolve rate due to the sealing of the battery. Anyway if locate in our engine bay which no proper segregate will fasten the acid dissolve rate in battery, thats y the MF battery will kong faster than normal conventional battery.

Correct me if I am wrong...:_:
