Re: battery replacement
Hey guys,
So the Panasonic branded battery is still running in my 2010 Exy lol.
It's getting the 40,000km service done today, so I'm asking them to test the battery.
Personally, I'm still looking at buying the Extra Heavy Duty by Century at Supercheap Auto. As I believe they are one of the most reliable battery manufacturers. Unfortunately these aren't cheap, but now that the climate is warming again I'm confident the battery will last till the next battery sale :-)
Cheers,
Benjamin

Re: battery replacement
Was talking to a mate today and on the exact same subject.
He recommended Bond Batteries out of Melbourne.
Australian owned and made at a good price for compared to competitors like century.
I'll post up some more details tomorrow, it's late now.
Cheers,
Ben

Re: battery replacement
In July 2013 during a scheduled service, the dealer rang me to say the OEM battery was on its way out and did I want it replaced. I said no. I had no trouble with it. At the January 2014 scheduled service the battery wasn't even mentioned. But guess what, when I went to pick the car up after the July 2014 scheduled service, the service rep went through what they had done and mentioned "the battery is OK" ???????
I mentioned what I was told at the July 2013 service and the service rep simply said (with tongue in cheek methinks) "oh well, batteries can be very unpredictable."
Anyway, after 4 years I considered that the battery might soon need replacing and it was. It failed me twice in August while I was away......probably after leaving tailgate open or doors open for periods of time when camping. I replaced the battery at the end of August.
So I say that you have been very lucky getting 6 years of life out of your battery. Hope you have a set of jumper leads aboard or, as in my case, an auxiliary battery which saved the day for me.
cheers and good luck with your attempt to squeeze some extra juice out of your battery.

Re: battery replacement
Hello, My factory Panasonic 55D23L-MF lasted just 30 days after the factory 5yr extended warranty ran out for the car. Slow charged it and it has lasted at least another 6months until I left the interior light on and I drained it dead.
Currently recharging it after rescuing the wife and kids from a friends house this afternoon.
