giddyup Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 My Mitsu is 4 years old and the Hitachi battery has lasted that long, but now is getting a bit sluggish, so considering the Hitachi has given me that long seems like it would be a good idea to buy the same brand. Anyone seen Hitachi selling anywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giddyup Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 OK, found a Hitachi locally, 3500 baht less 500 for the old battery. Hope it gives me the same service as the old one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figured I'd stick with the brand that's given good service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoreFarang Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 It seems one big difference between brands is quality control. It's possible to get a good battery from a "bad" brand, but it's more likely to get a good battery from a "good" brand with QC. And it's unlikely to get a bad battery from a good brand because of that QC. qed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
