Hey guys

do you know where i can find cheap car batteries. In Dubai.

Not looking for anything like 100AED but 200 -300 is fine with a one year warranty.

i bought a solite for a friends car at 420AED coz it was a emergency, its a crap brand and would not buy it for another two cars.

any suggestions?

Cheapest ACDelco batteries with 1-year warranties:

Ramin Auto Spare Parts
Damascus Street, Qusais 1, Dubai
tel. 04 267 0081
web. http://www.isuzuautopartsstore.com

Less than AED 200 batteries at RAMIN. AMANI is the most expensive on this street but there's nothing you won't find there. Still, try to avoid whenever possible.

Right. Take a u-turn from the signal right after Spinneys.

Since none of the batteries in the Tiida last more than a year, I just stick to the cheapest I can find that has 1 year warranty so I'm using Solite and it's fine. Even AC Delco dies after exactly 1 year and in fact, my previous Solite lasted almost two years, surprisingly.

My other cars have never had such issues though.

More than 2 years with ACDelco in all my cars. Never gave up on me unexpectedly.

I figured it's a problem with my car and not the battery itself.

Theres two cars that need batterys, three but i replaced one as the Mrs. needed it. Put in a Solite from Enoc at 420AED. i thought it was a rip off, to pay so much for a korean made batt. But it was emergency so the FJ is now replaced.

Next is for my Hummer H3 and the Evo.

Hummer has easily passed two years after the company came and replaced it at our basement. so i think its time.

Thus looking for AC delco, preferably at 200 - 300AED for each car hopefully.

Will try That guy Sam. Thankyou so much.

Sharbel
