....I'm using DIN 100 maintenance free battery (brand name Atlas ). Ist battery lasted for 15 months and the second one using right now dead last few days lasted only 14 months.Is it normal ? Any suggestion for battery that can last longer. DIN 100 battery is expensive >>>Atlas rm450, Nova rm550.Hope admin /sifu can share the battery issue.

.....all 6 coils and alternator are new , running only 7000 km since last date of installation. Current leakage checked negative.
Seldom drive at night . No accessories installed other than standard items provided by manufacturer.

unker... a true blue real maint free battery costs a bomb (circa rm 1k?) and will last at least 6 years.nowadays the so called maint free batteries are just what they are...free of maint ie no top up required but they will last just as long as normal lead acid battery ie 1.5 - 2 years...that is if you use the car regularly.if it's a garage queen.....well.....

yes its true....copper plate in new battery recycle product from old battery which had been corroded by acid>>>.afffect the quality of life. My proton saga and Matrix also having shorter life span of less than 2 yrs ...heavily used daily > 30 km.>80 km . ....keep a set of battery charger at home may be a good solution to keep max battery power.

Removed CD cartridge, aircon switch off>>>to check leakage.
