According to mechanic that told me,NS65 is a special model.It is hardly to find it.I just ask the mechanic to modify the base plate which hold the battery,then can fit NS70 model. |

mine is not MF, according to the battery mechanic, MF and non-MF is also the same, both needs water inside the battery.
so, after think twice i decided not to take MF becoz i am paying more expensive for the same thing except the convenient of filling in batt water. in fact everyime i do regular service at jinmin, they do check the batt water for me and refill if neccessary.
but one thing good that i like is the overflow tube gate, becoz we dunno when the service technician moody comes that accidentally or careless mistakes to overflow with battery water. (once bitten, twice shy)

oops... noname is correct...
i bought my rx-s5 with premium package...
it comes with a few extra for the extra RM...
MF batt, "talking" reverse sensor.... (instead of the beep beep beep, a lady voice says, 5ft, 4ft... 1.5ft STOP! STOP! STOP! BANG!), ozone purifier (dunno what is this, asked the salesman, he say usnder driver seat, but dont see anything, a fren who drove tiara before said, her tiara also comes with it, an eletronic gadget we cant see, hers only see a red blinking light near her glove compartment!!!) Anyone any idea what is this OZONE PURIFIER thing??? and other "add-ons" which seems to be redundant as they are also in the RXS package or basic package!!!! (but salesman say diff type/quality...)
but when chk pricing.. basic = rm62k++
+ rxs pkg = + rm1.6k+
+ premium pkg = + rm7k+
(but if take full pkg got discount rm6k)
so in another words.. only +rm2.6k+ for everything lor.... _________________ Enjoy today. It's a compliment from God. |

Bro,
got to be careful of the maintanence free batt...thats what it was meant to be. Pls check of any leak of batt acid water from the below of the d sticker cause it happen to me. KB type was the open type and this can lead to leakage.
Mine was change at 222 when i complain to them. the batt acid actually spilled my hood .
Please watch up for it. |

After 2 months trying, feel that my accent loss on the pickup. Is this possible due to the low AH value of the 55 MF battery?
Thinking of changing it back to either NF65 or NF70. It really hurts the FC when the pickup is lacking.  _________________ Accent GLS AT, Oct 2004, Location:Penang

the pickup is not really that much relates with the condition of your battery i believe.
there are other things can be improved.
