I'm honestly a bit frustrated right now because I replaced the battery on my 2019 Nissan Altima with an Amaron 50Ah about a year and a half ago, and this morning it's completely dead again – no cranking, just clicking and all the lights flickering. I thought Amaron was supposed to be one of the better brands for the UAE climate, but I'm not sure if 18 months is a reasonable lifespan or if I just got a dud. I've been pretty diligent about maintenance, and I don't leave lights on or anything like that, so I'm confused about why it died so quickly. I was considering getting another Amaron because I've heard good things, but now I'm second-guessing myself and wondering if I should try a different brand entirely. I found while searching for replacements, and it looks like they offer a good warranty, but I wanted to check if anyone else has experienced such a short lifespan with their Amaron battery. Is 18 months typical for a 50Ah in this heat, or should I be expecting closer to 3 years? Also, could there be an underlying issue with my car that's draining the battery faster than it should, like a parasitic draw? I really don't want to keep replacing batteries every year if there's something else going on, so any advice on what to check or how to properly diagnose this would be really helpful. I'm not keen on going to the dealer and paying a fortune for diagnostics, so any DIY tips or affordable garage recommendations would be much appreciated.
