Battery Kong!

1 July 2010:

My ACDELCO batter finally went dead after nearly 3 years of service. Take note on the Negavite terminal connection. A piece of lead is added as the el-cheapo way to enlarge the terminal. (The original car terminal is Large diameter which the Japan spec half cut wiring is using a Small diameter connector.) Wo when i get my battery replaced my mechanic went to half cut shop and get me a proper negative terminall connector (Small diameter) from a toyota AE111. It fits perfectly and has additional wire for grounding (Toyota cars always have better grounding setup).


My new replacement battery is from South Korea (Rocket Brand). At about half of ACDelco battery price, i think this is worth a try as it is also a true MF (Dry battery). The reason i start liking the MF batter is because you will never get a battery water stain on the hood.
