Which Amaron battery would you pick for a small hatchback living in Production City?
-
Maybe someone here can settle an argument I am having with myself. My Kia Picanto is almost five years old, and over the last few days the engine has started to sound tired when I turn the key, especially after the car sits in the sun all afternoon. I live near Dubai Production City and only drive short distances, mostly to the metro and back, so does that kind of use hurt a battery more than long drives? I keep going back and forth between buying the same size as my old one or paying more for something with a higher rating, but I am not sure a small car like mine would even benefit from that. A colleague told me Amaron is a good brand for hot weather, and I read a page on to understand the basics, but I would still like to hear what people actually chose. Does anyone have Quality Amaron car battery picks for Dubai Production City that worked well for a small car like this? Is it better to buy from a shop that checks your model first, or is it fine to bring the old battery and match the code? How do you check the date on the new one, and what age would you refuse? Do you ask them to test the old one first, in case the problem is something else? And what warranty did you get, and was it written on the invoice? I do not need the most expensive option, I just want something that survives a few summers without surprises. If you have a shop you trust, a price you paid for a similar car, or a mistake I can avoid, please share it. Thanks a lot, I will read every reply tonight.
