How well do you know automotive batteries in the market?
How long can it be last?
How long can it be used?
Those made in Japan or made in Europe are the best recommendation.... or is it?
Before coming into further questions, it is a basic to know what type of battery you actually need for your vehicle.
In general, there is 3 types commonly used for your vehicle - The standard battery, EFB, and AGM.
(There is another 2 types of batteries, deep cycle and Lithium which maybe explained in the future)
So which one should you choose?
If your vehicle do NOT have an iStop function (idling stop function, which automatic switch off your engine when your vehicle comes to a stop), a standard battery is enough for your vehicle.
In these days, the way that automotive battery work is now known as "Maintenance Free", which implies users do not need to keep track of the liquid level of the battery. (unlike last time when you need to top up the battery using distilled water)
The after market batteries are all "Maintenance Free" except one or two brands available in Hong Kong market. However, those non Maintenance Free batteries are only available to Long Lorry vehicle and Truck.
Battery inspection and other inspection service are only available to Tyrehood customers who at least pre-purchase two tyres and one battery (battery brands must be available on Tyrehood website such as Acdelco, Eneus, Solite etc).
For walkin customer, please contact the supplier for any query or questions related to your product issues.
-------------------------------
Out of topic, but something to be known. Automotive industry in Hong Kong is classified into three categories - tyre retail store, automotive garage, and automotive detailing.
Tyrehood is a tyre retail store at this moment. Therefore Tyrehood do not provide services such as oil changing which are provided by a garage.
