Before discussing about How to install a car battery is correct and good, maybe I will tell you a little about the history of GS battery primarily. Because this article starred by GS Astra battery.

Early GS battery trademark was created from the name of the person who first established PT.GS BATTERY. He was named Genzo Shimadzu. Pt.GS itself originally stood in Japan in 1920. And until finally PT.GS BATTERY was in Indonesia for the first time in 1974 and 70 employees it has. For in Indonesia alone PT.GS BATTERY is in Sunter and Karawang.

Yes probably already know a lot about this GS Astra battery, maybe most of the readers here have already used GS Astra battery for motor and car.

For the types of battery itself there are 4:

GSCBT / GS Taxi, this type of battery belonging to a free mantenan battery or can also be called a maintenance-free battery. This battery also has a 46B24 dimension, equivalent to NS60. However, although the dimensions same with NS60 but ahmpere greater reach 55 Ah than NS60 which is only limited to 45 Ah. GS Taxi also has a large head suitable for car: Yaris, Civic, Innova gasoline, CRV, old Alphard and Vios.

GSMFN / GS Mantenan Free, for this type of free Mantenan battery can be said to be general battery for semi dry batteries from GS.

GSPR / GS Premium, this type of batteries into the wet battery class. If you buy this type of battery would have no water. Well loh bingungkan, do not confuse my friend.

Although wet but service like MF batteries, but still GS Hybrid need to control the battery water every month to maintain the life of the battery life.

Note : This recommendation from GS also si, for Honda Jazz and Nissan Livina cars should use GS Hybrid or Premium type battery if any. Because both batteries are classified as wet battery. Why not use GS Mantenan Free Battery. Actually not not suitable but only the placement of battery on the Honda Jazz and Nissan Livina very close to the engine.
