Phuket’s #1 Trusted Mobile Battery Service for Expats & Tourists.
There is never a good time for a car battery to dieโ€”whether you are rushing to the airport, heading to a meeting, or just trying to enjoy a holiday beach trip. At EV Phuket, we turn a stressful breakdown into a minor inconvenience. We bring the garage to you.
Forget about towing your car or trying to explain your location in broken Thai. Our English-speaking team uses GPS location sharing to find you anywhere on the island, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Battery Selection Guide: Which One Do You Need?
Phuket’s hot climate demands tough batteries. We only stock “Maintenance Free” (MF) and “Sealed Maintenance Free” (SMF) batteries, so you never have to worry about refilling water.
1. For Japanese Cars (Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Suzuki)
- Recommended Brand: GS Battery / 3K Battery
- Why: These are the market leaders in Thailand. They are rugged, handle the heat well, and offer the best value for money.
- Lifespan: 1.5 - 2.5 years.
2. For American/European Cars (Ford, Chevrolet)
- Recommended Brand: Amaron (Hi-Life)
- Why: Known as “The Green Battery”, Amaron utilizes Silver Alloy technology that resists corrosion from Phuket’s salt air exceptionally well.
- Lifespan: 2 - 3 years (Longest warranty: 24 Months).
3. For Luxury & Start-Stop Cars (Benz, BMW, Porsche)
- Recommended Brand: Varta / Puma (AGM Technology)
- Why: Essential for cars with “Eco Mode” (engine cuts off at traffic lights). Standard batteries will die in 3 months if used in these cars. AGM batteries provide 3x the cycle life.
- Expert Note: We perform “Battery Registration” for BMS systems included in the price.

Battery Maintenance Tips for Phuket’s Tropical Climate
Living in a tropical paradise like Phuket is great for you, but tough on your car battery. The average temperature of 30ยฐC+ causes fluid evaporation and internal corrosion much faster than in cooler climates.
How to make your battery last longer:
- Park in the Shade: Whenever possible, park under a roof or tree. Direct sunlight can raise the under-hood temperature to over 60ยฐC, cooking your battery.
- Clean the Terminals: The salt air from the sea causes green/white corrosion on the battery posts. Clean them with hot water and apply a little Vaseline or grease.
- Drive Regularly: If you fly home for 2 weeks, your car alarm and clock still drain power. Ask a friend to start the car once a week, or disconnect the negative terminal (if you know how).
- Listen to Your Car: If the engine cranks slowly (“ugg… ugg… vroom”), call us immediately. That is the final warning before it dies completely.
