    Also a good indication that your battery needs replacement is the optitron gauge. The gauge automatically lights up when you turn the key to on position and if you further turn the key to crank the engine, the gauge should not blink and if it does, then it is also a sympton that your battery needs replacement. You will notice it if you use your car regularly but if you use your car rarely then follow sir walter advised.

    Be sure that new battery was still in shipment box and Terminals was properly insulated. You don't want that battery terminals touching metals in your trunk. Boom.

    Sayang warranty kung matutulog lang sa trunk. Kung bibilhin mo na yung bagong battery, might as well start using it na and either discard or repurpose the old one.

In these cases, I just call motolite. Though their prices are dearer, the convenience of a person coming to install your battery within an hour is great! I don't know how many times I've had to call them through the years but I'm happy that the service is available when you need it. The worst that can happen to you is if you go out at night to party, get drunk, take a girl back to your car and find that your car won't start.
    Nangyari na din sa akin ito, no symptoms, just died. mas malala lang yung sa akin dahil after driving for an hour pag baba ko sa parking kahit pag lock man lang di na kaya ng battery.

    Medyo OT. Anyone tried or would you recommend buying these, which model and for which type of vehicle? CDR KING

    Which reminds me. My 3.5 year old 3SMF is beginning to show some hesitation if not started for 3 days.

    IMO, if you're not going on a long road trip any time soon, have the jumper cables and the Motolite delivery number handy.
