kunlexy1759: I have been using an ORIGINAL Hankook close to 3 years now and it still show no signs of weakness; can travel for more than a week without disconnecting battery terminals. It really depends on getting a GOOD BRAND, ORIGINAL and FRESH. "Good brand" explains itself so no need for explanation. For original, battery sellers do a lot of shoddy things e.g. selling a 60AH as 75AH (they swap stickers) etc. When I went to buy my current battery, I first got some other car parts and asked those car part sellers for a shop that stocked genuine batteries; all without fail mentioned a particular shop. Now this was the car parts market at Nnewi where you have loads of battery sellers (importers sef). Truth be told the batteries at the shop cost a bit higher but seller assured me they were genuine. It's been good since. Fresh: Batteries are perishable and have expiry dates. On a lighter note batteries can be likened to tomatoes. This is why Duracell batteries will have a date stamped on it e.g 2020, 2023 etc. So when buying a battery you must learn how to read the production date code. Its usually something like 5F3Y90 where 5 means 2015 and F June. Some makers will reverse the 1st 2 digits. Sellers want to sell older batteries first so be on the lookout. The final thing I do is that I insist on the sellers doing a load test on the battery. If it comes out weak or needs a charge I don't buy. 2 Likes |

I'm using one. I've drycell battery. It is called ACCESS. Wherever you see it please buy it. It's nice. I bought it may Last year and so far it has NEVER given me any issue (except yesterday and that was because my radio was on and an inner light from yesterday till today). Expiry date is 2020 and it promises to serve me until then. � |

Gazzuzz you made my battery to run down ayam watching you o How can you just open this thread and then my battery decides to give up Well, I will run tests for parasitic draws. I made some changes recently which I am suspecting...I observed that the fuse for the rear defroster has not been in place since I bought the car. I noticed this while working to fix a headlight issue over the weekend and come Tuesday I had a very weak start. |
Re: Cold Mornings, Expect Battery Failures. by Piyke: 2:41pm On Feb 10, 2018 |
Piyke: No parasitic draws. Battery has just reached the end of the road. Got a new ATLASBX battery. Word in the market is that Hankook is no longer as reliable. ATLASBX makes Hankook Will see how this goes. Battery was produced June 2017 |
