Battery brand "Global"

[crusher]

Last week-end went to my local mech and enquire about battery. Wanted to ask about Delkor brand currently used in my car, but was told no more such brand (???). Was recommended a Global MF battery instead for around RM350. Anybody heard of this brand b4 and is it recommended? Normally MF battery can last how many years?

Normally MF battery can last how many years?

Never used Global, my mech used to supply TRANE but now only ROCKET available.
Both MF come from Korea and 1 lasted 7 years in my E34 525i but usually normal lifespan is about 4 years.

For E36 325 it is DIN 66 or DIN80?

Not sure bro but E34 525i 24v is DIN 66 and you can check the spec on your owner's manual.

Delkor is from Korea. Under the group of JCI.(Johnson Control)
From what I've understand, Rocket is actually from China...

E36 uses DIN66
Global? Sounds like a local brand (made in Rawang perhaps)

that's if the battery is the boot bro, the older models in the engine bay uses DIN55, if i m not mistaken...

btw, the DIN 55 and 66 is the same power, only height difference..:top:
