Ask for the AGM Technology & by the way desert Star has home delivery service & roed asist for selected customers . Mark,

The battery dies and I was parking on the second floor in the parking next to Behbahani Building. I called Alghanim hotline and they've sent me the service truck. Unfotunatily, the truck was too big to get inside and could not do anything else! It was on Thursday afternoon so there was no one to give me jump start! The funny thing is after few minutes of trying, the car started!! It turned out that the battery is messed up. Replaced under warranty with new one "Made in KSA" which died less than a year later!!

That is what I find to be very weird. The battery must be damaged! That is strange, if you move and the battery is charging then it shouldn’t die on you. That is what I find to be very weird.
