I am buying a battery for my 2016 Honda Civic this weekend, and I have a worry that is stuck in my head. Last year my cousin bought what he thought was a good brand battery from a small shop, and it died in four months. When he looked closer later, the label looked a bit different from the one on the original, and the shop would not take it back. Since then I do not trust any battery seller blindly. A friend who changed his battery recently told me to look for reliable Amaron battery dealer tips for Sharjah buyers before I choose a shop, because he said the dealer matters almost as much as the battery itself. I did not know that before. I read a page about Amaron batteries online that evening, just to understand the basics, and it talked about checking the date code, the sealed caps, the label and the warranty paper, in easy words. It helped, but I still have questions for people who have bought batteries here. How do you read the date on the battery, and how old is too old to accept from a shop? Is it a bad sign if the dealer does not let me see the battery before it is fitted? Should the battery come with a warranty card, or is the invoice with the battery code enough? Another thing is the price. If one shop is much cheaper than the others, is that a warning, or is it just a different profit margin? I also wonder if I should ask them to test my old battery and my car charging first, so I do not buy a new one for no reason. Do good dealers usually fit the battery for free? Also, is it normal to hand back the old battery for a small discount? I park outside in the sun, and my trips are short, so I want a battery that handles heat well. The car is my daily drive for work, so I cannot wait many days if something goes wrong later. If you bought a battery recently, please tell me how you checked the dealer, what you paid, and what you would do differently. Even a small tip will help me a lot. Thanks for reading, and sorry for the long message.
