I have been using OSAKA for 15 months in my daewoo without any trouble
Bought a Spectra a month ago and replaced its battery with another Brand new OSAKA.

For batteries , always get battery with higher CCA then your current one.

Also keep an eye on the fluid levels is good too for longer life of battery.

get something which is backed by 1-2 years of replacment warranty even if its Rs 50-100 more expensive. because it will give you piece of mind. just in case it dies you can always take it back. and if it dosent well it was definately of good quality.

@ spectra
Sir the company fitted battery has a low height and its price with any brand is not less then 3k
Befor buying this Osaka battery I made a test by greasing the terminals and then checking if theres any grease stick to the hood on shutting it ... But was fine ... so went for it and is doing good
List price was around 2000 rupees I paid him 1600.
spectra can you tell me how much the Brakes of kia spectra cost ?

at the end of the day all local made batteries give the same performance.
i was about to buy a korean battery for my honda for 3000 rupees but for that, car terminal grip to be changed. got a AGS 45 ampere for 1600 rupees instead
