Century Batteries for Malaysian Best-selling Cars – Myvi Battery and More
Looking forward to changing your car? Start by checking out the best-selling national cars in Malaysia!
For the Proton brand, their best-selling cars are Proton Saga, Proton Persona, Proton X50, and Proton X70. While for Perodua, their best-selling cars are Perodua Myvi, Perodua Axia, Perodua Bezza, Perodua Alza, and Perodua Aruz.
Whilst these car makes have many models to suit your every need, it’s important to understand that they also have different engine designs – especially for Perodua.
Generally, they come in either start-stop engines or non-start-stop engines – and need different kind of batteries.
1. Start-Stop Engine: Perodua Eco-Idle System
Perodua Start-stop engines are also known as Eco-idle. They got their name because start-stop engines decrease their CO2 emissions when they stop for some time. So, they are environment-friendly.
Some of the best-selling national cars with the eco-idle system are Perodua Myvi Advance, Perodua Bezza Advance, and Perodua Aruz.
What is a start-stop engine?
Start-stop engines rely on various sensors to detect the various modes of the car’s operation. These sensors include a neutral gear sensor, crankshaft sensor, and wheel speed sensor. When the sensors detect the car has stopped, the engine automatically stops – even if it is just a few seconds stop as in a traffic light or road congestion. Once the driver engages the clutch, the engine starts working again. Now, how do other car systems work when the engine switches off in a traffic light? The answer is the car battery kicks in to power the other systems. Thus, it is important to get the right car battery type that will give you more starts and power for this particular engine type!
The Right Battery
Here are some recommended battery sizes and brands for start-stop engine cars.
Start-Stop Engines need an EFB or Enhanced Flooded Battery to maximize its performance. EFB have a deep cycle feature so it can withstand more cranks and recharge cycles. The Century Marathoner Max M42 battery is the top choice for Perodua Myvi Advance and Perodua Bezza Advance, while Perodua Aruz requires the M42R battery size.
Keep in mind though that older versions of the Perodua Myvi does not use the same Myvi battery size as those with start-stop engines. Instead, Century Marathoner Max NS40ZL battery will work well or a traditional flooded 12V battery.
Why is it so important to install the right battery in your car?
Choosing the right battery size is important for all cars. The suitable battery size is determined by the engine size and the battery compartment size, among other factors. Using an oversized battery may lead to overheating of the alternator and eventually, degrading other car parts. Whereas using an undersized battery will not give sufficient power and affect the cars performance.

2. National Car model without start-stop engines

Suitable battery sizes
Currently, cars without start-stop engines are more common. Luckily, there are different battery sizes to suit these models. The recommended choices are:
Perodua
