Century Ultramax Battery and Century Battery Assist Launch: Final Verdict

Those that have been following my postings would remember that I was offered a Century Ultramax battery during the Century Ultramax battery & Battery Assist launch in December 2011. The battery, a NS60L sized one found a home in my Subaru Impreza 1.6TS and had basically functioned as it should have till its expiry about 21 months after its use, or sometime in September 2013. 

I have to state that the battery lasted as long as it was warrantied to do so and I cannot complain much. Actually the battery should have lasted even longer but this is the problem of running too many cars - the Subaru was actually underutilised and was sitting still most of the time. Usually the car's alternator would need a good 20 minutes of driving to acquire a proper charge. Idling the car usually does not do much to the charge. That being said, the Century Ultramax battery performed as it should. You just put it in, drive and forget about it till it expires.

And when it does, you can call the Century Battery Assist service, which we did. Sometime in January 2014 the wife's Myvi battery died and we called up the service and a chap (who is an agent for Century) turned up in a Proton Persona with a battery and fixed it. All it took was a phone call and we did not sweat one bit.

So, I have to say that the Century Battery Assist works. So does its batteries. This article has been a long time coming as batteries take a while to expire. I bet that most of you forgot about the previous article too. Which can be found here.
