[QUOTE="RedZ4, post: 143480, member: 1117"] Just a friendly feedback to the everyone... I've just changed the battery on my E30 to the maintenance free unit. It went for 320 after discount. Now on the E30 its the 66 model. The thing is pretty heavy compared to the 'add-water' type. Have your battery tested every year as mine water based battery only lasted a year. It only take a little tools that reads if its fine. And the difference b/w water based and maintenance free is about 30-40 ringgit. So you might be better of getting the better. Also battery prices have gone up this month according to this workshop dude. So expect to pay a little more than before. Batteries also comes in various sizes. ie. the smaller batteries, i.e. off japanese cars cost only 160 for the maintenance free unit. But woudl cost twice as much for a bigger unit. I realized this and was shocked as my Airtrek's battery is much cheaper than my old clunker. And as for saving fuel, I find that difficult to prove. [/QUOTE]
